G loomy darkness covered the earth. T he world was enveloped in utter blackness . In every corner , d evils were toying with hu mankind , luring them into false , distorted religions completely devoid of Allah . 1 There were the Buddhists , who worshipped a man named Buddha, and next to them lived the worshippers of cows and fire. Some nations worshipped angels and jinn (creatures of free will created from fire ), some worshipped images and statues, while others worshipped the spirits and relics of the dead ! Some people prostrated in adoring worship to c osmic creations such as the sun, the moon, the rivers , and the tree s , while others raised the prophets and the righteous to the level of Allah! Corruption spread as far as the Persian and Roman Empires . Everywhere , morals degenerated, injustice prevailed, and vice and sin flourished widely and became a characteristic trait of rulers and powerful people. Such was the state of the world in the period surrounding the Year of the Elephant ( 571 CE ) . The state of the Arabs was even worse. A god of dates made for worship could end up eaten whenever the ardent worshipper felt hungry! Another would carve a god out of a rock, and then would bring some bread and butter and place it over its head and ask it to eat! Instead , a fox would come and eat the bread and butter , and then urinate over its head , wit h the man looking on astonished, while saying the following lines: 1 Allah is the superior, all - comprehensive name of the One True Universal God. This name is absolutely unique to the Creator of existence. In Arabic, it means ‘the One exclusively worthy of deification and worship.’ Arabic - speaking Christians and Jews also use the name Allah for God. 8 Ibrahim ibn `Abdullah Al - Ghannam People who place hope in you have come disappointed, They wanted your victory when they engage in fighting. You are not helpful against the matters predetermined, Nor do you defend them when a disaster is approaching. Is there a god whom foxes urinate on his head? Surely, those on whom foxes urinate feel ashamed ! As soon as a daughter was born, her father, foolishly and ignorantly, took her away and buried her alive out of fear of shame! He mi ght also murder his son out of fear of poverty! Intoxicants predominated the gatherings and societies of the Arabs ! Women were no more to them than pieces of furniture. For the most trivial reasons,
