Historical Usage
The Ghassanids were an Arab Christian confederation that existed in the 6th century CE in present-day Syria and Lebanon. They were led by the Christian chieftains, who were known as the Ghassanid kings. The name 'Ghassanids' is derived from the Arabic word 'Ghassan', which means 'mountain goat'. The Ghassanids were a major power in the region and were allied with the Byzantine Empire against the Sassanid Empire until the late 6th century CE when they were defeated by the Sassanids.
6th century CE
The Ghulat were a group of Shia Muslim sects that emerged in the early Islamic period, around the 8th century CE. They held extreme views about the imamah, or leadership of the Muslim community, and believed that certain imams were divine or semi-divine. The name 'Ghulat' is derived from the Arabic word 'ghuluw', which means 'excess'. The Ghulat were often persecuted by the Sunni Muslim majority and their beliefs were considered heretical.
