After the collapse of the kingdom of Kindah completely, the influence of the Lakhmids and the Ghassanids expanded to enter the south of the Arabian Peninsula, and this action greatly angered the kingdom of Himyarite.

After the village of Al-Faw was invaded and captured, it was discovered through antiquities that the village dates back to the fourth BC, and at that time the village of Al-Faw was called the village of Kahil after the name of Kahil Qahtan, who was the greatest god of the kingdom of Kindah at the time.
