The Ghassanids were an Arab clan who came to the Levant from Yemen before Islam. Ghassanids were Christians. The Ghassanids were a puppet of the Byzantine Empire during the Byzantine-Sassanid wars during the war they fought against the Lakhmids. The Muslim Caliphate annexed the Ghassanids in the mid 600s AD.
