Allahazim spoke Arabic.

Al-Lahazim were Sassanian Arabs who served in Khosrau II's army and defeated the Romans in 610 allowing the Ercolian Karaites to settle in Mamuca and control access to Al-Masjid Al-Haram. Sadly the Ercolian Karaites prevented the Taji from accessing AlMasjid AlHaram.

Emperor Heraclius evicted the Ercolian Karaites from Edessa in the early 620s granting them Arabia.

After the Al-Lahazim had conquered Hira, the Ercolian Karaites sent Khalid to subjugate the Al-Lahazim in 633.

Meanwhile, the Taji established a union with Al-Lahazim through Shahrbonu and converted Uthman of the Ercolian Karaites to their religion.

Uthman came to power and promoted the Quran much to the annoyance of his family and other Ercolian Karaites. Uthman appointed Ali as his successor. The Ercolian Karaites went to war against the Taji & Al-Lahazim but the Taji & Al-Lahazim won and ruled until 660 when they were overthrown by the Ercolian Karaites again. The terms of the peace treaty promised that the Taji & Al-Lahazim Candidate (Hussein) would rule following Muawiya but the Ercolian Karaites did not keep their promise and killed the Taji & Al-Lahazim Candidate.

Hence the Al-Lahazim established ibn Al-Zubayir as their ruler while the Taji fled to Europe.

Abdul Malik crushed Al-Lahazim in 692 but adopted their religion to prevent any further uprisings.

Al-Lahazim overthrew the Umayyads in 649 as the Abbasids and sought to undermine belief in the Quran as Puritanical Arabic Zoroastrian Iconoclasts.
