The Story of the Elephant: Surah Al-Feel

King Abraha, proud and grand, built a big church in his land.

He wanted all to visit there, not Kaaba, holy beyond compare. With mighty army,

strong and bold, and big elephants, a story told. But near the Kaaba,

shining bright, Mahmud stopped, with all his might. Then from the

sky, a wondrous sight, small birds arrived, bathed in light. They dropped the

stones, a gentle rain, upon the army, ending pain. The Sacred House,

it stood so tall, protected well, for one and all.
