Or it could be the earth who is His soldier giving a violent quake. Sometimes it will be harsh weather as was the case during the Soviet war against Afghanistan. During the Battle of Badr, Allah sent down angels to fight the mushrikeen. During the Battle of Khandaq Allah used the winds against the disbelievers of Makkah and their Jewish allies. Allah here uses birds as His soldiers to destroy the enemy. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He (Surah Mudathir 74:31). Only in the last stop just outside the Kaaba did Allah unleash.Ģ. No, he planned, he came from Yemen, he did all he did along the way. Abraha was not finished off in the beginning. My brothers and sisters horrified by nearly 65 years of oppression in Palestine, the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the mass genocide in Syria, la tahzan (don’t be sad), the army of Allah is on its way in sha Allah. While people fled thinking they would never be able to defeat him, Allah sent His army to shatter him and his people and made them an example till the Last Day. The end of oppressors is never cute- Abraha wanted to destroy the Kaaba and he tried his utmost. However, there are lots to take from this story, and I will share just a few reflections, both personal and worldly in sha Allah.ġ. Seeing atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, I would read this Surah in Salaah and remember how Allah destroyed this one oppressor and He can surely destroy those of this day as well. More often than not, reading such stories I tend to think of people other than me, as if I am some righteous man guaranteed paradise.

Most of us probably know of the story of Abraha and how he tried to attack and destroy the Kaaba, and then was roundly defeated by the army of Allah (which here are the birds). Pelting them with pellets of hard baked clay Do you not see how your Lord dealt with the army of the Elephant?
