"Surah Al-Feel" is the 105th chapter of the Quran. It tells the story of the "Year of the Elephant," a historical event that took place around the time of Prophet Muhammad's birth. In this story, a powerful Yemeni governor named Abraha, who was a Christian, led a massive army, which included a fearsome elephant, to destroy the Kaaba in Mecca. His goal was to divert Arab pilgrims to his own church in Yemen. As Abraha's army approached Mecca, the story recounts that the elephants refused to move forward. Then, flocks of small birds, known as Ababil, appeared. These birds carried small stones of baked clay in their beaks and claws. They dropped these stones on Abraha's army, decimating them and turning them into "eaten straw." The surah serves as a powerful reminder of God's protection of the Kaaba and a testament to His power over even the most formidable forces. It highlights that no one can succeed against the will of Allah.
