In the name of ALLAH , the most gracious , the most merciful master of the day of Judgment.

ALLAH says :

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the possessors of the elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not cause their war to end in confusion,
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
And send down (to prey) upon them birds in flocks,
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
Casting against them stones of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ
So He rendered them like straw eaten up

THE HOLY QURAN : surat AL -FIL
( the elephant )
105

The prophet Muhammad :3: came in to the world in 571 AD known as the year of the Elephant.

The incident of the people of the elephant was in actual fact a divine declaration and a discreet sign indicating towards the imminent arrival of the seal of Prophets, the Final Messenger, Muhammad :3: . The divine protection which was extended to the Quraish was simply due to the fact that the final messenger, who was about to set foot on this earth, was to come from this tribe (the Quraish).

Abraha was the governer of Yemen Seeing the Arabs travelling from far and wide to Makkah Mukarramah to perform Tawaaf of the Baitullah, Abraha burned with envy. Hence, he decided to erect a unique and magnificent church in the name of Christianity. His aim and goal was to make his church the centre of pilgrimage instead of the KAABA . Thus, he went ahead with his mission and erected a beautiful church in the actuel Yemen. He then began preventing the people of Yemen from visiting Makkah Mukarramah and ordered them to take his church as a substitute for the simple KAABA.

Abraha raised an army and intended to destroy AL KAABA . With this malicious intention, he proceeded towards Makkah Mukarramah with a powerful and formidable army, The troops of Abraha was alsoaccompanied by a herd of elephants .

As he advanced to demolish the AL KAABA, all of a sudden, huge flocks of small birds appeared , each of them carrying pebbles. The size of each pebble resembled the size of pea seeds or lentils. With the divine power of Allah Ta’ala, these pebbles swiftly rained down upon the army of Abraha like volleys of lethal bullets. The soldiers and elephants fled in panic. Many of them died instantly and the rest of them died on their way back. In this way Abraha’s army was completely eliminated and wiped out from the face of the earth.
