Abraha really went to Macca to conquest..
Outside of later Islamic tradition, there is no mention of Abraha's
expedition. Historical-critical scholars see the story as a later
Islamic tradition designed to explain the "Men of the Elephant" in
Qur'an 105:1-5.[13] However, recent findings of Himyaritic inscriptions
describe an hitherto unknown expedition of Abraha, which subsequently
led Gajda et al to identify this expedition as the failed conquest of
Mecca.[14]
Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad ( Arabic : المدرسة النظامية ), one of the first nezamiyehs , [1] was established in 1065. In July 1091, Nizam al-Mulk appointed the 33-year-old Al-Ghazali as a professor of the school. [2] Offering free education, [3] it has been described as the " largest university of the Medieval world ". [4] Ibn Tumart , founder of the Berber Almohad dynasty , reputedly attended the school and studied under al-Ghazali. [5] Nizam al-Mulk 's son-in-law Mughatil ibn Bakri was also employed by the school. In 1096, when al-Ghazali left the nezamiyeh, it housed 3000 students. [6] In 1116, Muhammad al-Shahrastani taught at the nezamiyeh. [7] In the 1170s, statesman Beha Ud-Din taught at the nezamiyeh, before he moved on to teach in Mosul .
