Miraculous Happenings in the Year of the Elephant

In this retelling of the story of Abrahah, the greedy and power-hungry vicegerent sets out to destroy the Ka'ba, the House of Allah, in Mecca, so that his own cathedral in Yemen becomes a center of pilgrimage.

However, with Allah's might, his mission did not succeed, despite a strong army and a powerful elephant. This resulted in the year being known as the Year of the Elephant, the year of the noble birth of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.).
