Naja al-Kasaki, or Nadja was a lieutenant serving under the Emir of Aleppo, Sayf al-Dawla, during the tenth Century.
In the spring of 958, al-Dawla sent Naja to the Jazira in order to confront an invading Byzantine force led by the general and future emperor John I Tzimiskes.
[2] The next year, Naja once again raided into Armenia, where he defeated the Emir of Melitene, 'Abd Allah, who had accepted Byzantine vassalage.
In the same year, Naja was sent to subdue an internal rebellion led by the former governor of Harran, Hibat Allah.
Naja failed to take the city, however, and he soon retreated to Armenia where he managed to capture a few fortresses around Lake Van.
