The Year of the Elephant

A waqia before the Prophet's birth

A king named Abraha brought a great army with elephants to knock down the Kaaba. The people of Makkah were small next to that army.

Allah sent birds with tiny clay stones. The army could not harm Allah's house. That year became known as the Year of the Elephant — the year our Prophet (s.a.w.) was born.

Little Muntazir, Allah protects what is sacred, even against something that looks huge.
Today’s lesson. Size is not everything. Allah is greater.
