Prophet peace and blessings be upon him was sent to the and the whole world to guide them to the right path. Many people believed in him back then and many others have believed in him since then. However, many others have chosen not to believe in him or his divine message. When sent Prophet Muhammad the divine message, He revealed to him the story of the elephants, which is said to have taken place the same year the Prophet was born. The story reminds the Qurayshites of one of the favors Allah had granted them as He protected them from the attack The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel the Abyssinians. Because of this, the Qurayshites remained safe in Makkah while others were being snatched away from their homes from all around them. Then in falsehood do they believe, and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve? So, let those who are present inform those who are absent. Birds Ababil were the birds Allah sent to destroy the approaching army led by . The word The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel tells us the birds were in groups or crowds. It was said that they were tiny green birds that came from the seaside and they had heads like the heads of predatory animals. Sijjil is defined as stones that were hard and solid.

The Story of the Owners of the Elephant (From Surah Al-Fil) – By Ibn Kathir |

S was born, the governor of Abyssinia, Abraha Al-Ashram, had built a place of worship and asked all Arabs to worship there. This site was richly decorated with treasures from the collection of Bilquis, Queen of . But the Arabs refused to bow down. The Abyssnians had tame elephants that they used in wars.

The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel next morning, Abraha prepared himself, his troops and his elephant, Mahmoud, to enter Mecca. Nufail Ibn Habib then went away and climbed up the mount till he was far and safe. The Abyssinians tried everything to make the elephant stand again but in vain. They beat him, hurt him with The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel but still the elephant refused to get up and march towards Makkah. While trying The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel get The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel to stand they turned his direction to Yemen and he immediately got ready to move. Allah the Almighty then sent birds from the seaside that resembled hawks. Each bird held three stones: one in its beak and one in its each leg. The birds dropped these stones on the Abyssinians killing them. Some Abyssinians fled while death pursued them every way they went. They tried to go back the way they had come and asked Nufail Ibn Habib to guide them back to Yemen. Allah the Almighty also sent a severe wind that added to the speed and strength of the stones and caused the majority of the army to perish. Abraha was hit with a stone as well. After a short while, his chest cracked and he died. Ibn Ishaq said some of the Abyssinians managed to return to Yemen and related to their people what had happened to them and to the whole army. In his Tafsir, An-Naqqash mentioned The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel the flood carried away their dead bodies and threw them into the sea.

S and the Legislation He sent with him. The destruction of the owners of the elephant was not for the sake of the Quraishites themselves but victory was granted to the Sacred House in preparation for the advent of Prophet Muhammad S.

The two idols were made of wood, their height was about sixty cubits and they were touched with the . Hence no one could take the risk of coming near the church or taking anything of its building or ornaments fearing the evils of the jinn.
