MCQ Detailed View

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was born approximately 50 days before the famous historical event known as the Incident of the Elephant (Aam al-Feel). This incident occurred in the year when Abraha, the Christian ruler of Yemen, marched with a large army—including elephants—to destroy the Kaaba in Makkah. However, Allah protected the Kaaba by sending flocks of birds (Ababeel) that pelted the army with stones, completely defeating them.

This miraculous event is mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Al-Feel (105), and it left a powerful impact on the Arab society of the time. The year of this incident later became known as "Aam al-Feel" (The Year of the Elephant), and it marked a significant timeline reference in pre-Islamic Arabia.

The birth of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) shortly before this divine intervention is seen as a sign of his significance and the protection of the sacred center of Islam prior to his prophethood. His birth brought light and blessings to the Arabian Peninsula, and he later became the final Messenger of Allah, delivering the message of Islam to humanity.
