Allah showed His strength and kindness when He protected His sacred city, Makkah, from an army that wanted to destroy it. The army came with a big elephant and many soldiers from Ethiopia and Yemen. The people of Makkah were scared and ran away.
But Allah sent birds with hot stones to attack the army. The stones hit all the soldiers, from the first to the last, and they died. Their plan failed, and their story is famous.
This happened the same year the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was born. It was a sign of his important mission to come. We praise and thank Allah for His power and protection.
