: Which Surah of the Qur’an describes the extraordinary event that happened in
the year of the Elephant?
Ans:
Surah Al-Fil, Ch 105.
“1. Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant 2.
Did He not make their plot go astray 3. And He sent against them birds, in
flocks (Ababil). 4. Striking them with stones of Sijjil. 5. And He
made them like eaten straw.”
This is one of the favors Allah did for the Quraysh. He saved them from the
People of the Elephant who had tried to tear down the Ka`bah and wipe out all
traces of its existence. Allah destroyed them, defeated them, thwarted their
plans, made their efforts in vain and sent them back routed.
They were people who were Christians, and thus, their religion was closer to
the True Religion (Islam) than the idolatry of the Quraysh. However, this was a
means of giving a sign and preparing the way for the coming of the Messenger of
Allah . For verily, he was born during that same year(the same year of the
Elephant Event) according to the most popular opinion.
So the tongue of destiny was saying, "We will not help you, O people of
Quraysh, because of any status you may have over the Ethiopians (Abyssinians).
We are only helping you in order to defend the Ancient House (the Ka`bah),
which We will honor, magnify, and venerate by sending the unlettered Prophet,
Muhammad , the Finality of all Prophets.
Allah knows the best.
