Recitatio 33

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
Assalamu alaikum w. w.,
Dear Quran Lovers,
We shall now recite the surah 105 Al-Fi~l:
     Our Prophet s.a.w. was born on Monday, 12th Robi'ul-Awwal, in the year of the Elephant (about 570 A.D.). Mecca was then under the governance of the Prophet's grandfather, Abdul-Muttolib bin Hashim. At that time, in Yaman, there was a Christian governor, Abraha Ashram, who was envious of Mecca being visited by all pilgrims performing pilgrimage to Mecca and brought wealth and prosperity to the land.
He built a large and beautiful Church in Yaman with the hope that pilgrims would leave Mecca and went to his church to perform their pilgrimage. But no pilgrim went there. His last resolve was to destroy the Caaba. He had one/ or some elephants. So leading his army and riding his elephant, he marched to Mecca with the intention of to push the Caaba down with his elephant/elephants.
Abd. Muttolib received the news. Knowing that he could never fight the Abraha's mighty army, he ordered all Meccans to retreat into the mountains. He and some of his close aids were the last to leave Mecca. Abd. Muttolib said, "I leave Caaba in the care of its Owner." And left with his aids.
Allah related the following to the Prophet s.a.w.:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
