Abstract:

Throughout history Yemen, having a convenient place for life and agriculture, has been an area of variety with different religions living together such as Paganism, Mazdaism, Judaism and Christianity and has become a stomping ground for different cultures and civilisations. In the Holy Qur’an, Yemen itself and the people/places about Yemen are mentioned in 105/Surah al-Fil in the 1-5 verses dealing with the army intending to destroy the Ka’bah, in 85/ Surah al-Buruj in the 4-9. verses dealing with the king throwing his people to the pit of fire and in 34/Surah al-Saba’ in the 15-21. verses dealing with Queen of Sheba. The region has gained ground because of the presence of the serious number of Jew and Christian people in the region and most of the ravies like Ka’b al-Ahbâr and Vehb b. Münebbih having a history in Yemen. This ravies played a leading role in carrying the materials of the people of book, especially Jew culture, to the Islamic literature. Moreever, the Jews and the Christians of region and their literature are bound to be studied because the anectodes/moral studies told about old peoples were brought to Mecca and Medina through Yemen
