'Abd-Kulal
'Abd-Kulal al-Himyari (Arabic: عبد كلال الحميري), or 'Abd-Kalal, was a regent and former governor of Himyar who assisted during the rule of Sharhabil Yafar and later Sharhabil Yakkuf. 'Abd-Kulal was an Ebionite Christian who concealed his faith in secret as the Himyarites were generally hostile against Christianity. His son Marthad'ilan Yanuf would later become the ruler of Himyar starting from the early 6th century.
