The Secret of Ashaab il Fil

By MaxQ on 3/15/2009 5:19 AM

According to traditional Muslim belief, there is an extraordinary legend about a powerful military general's expedition to Mecca in the year Prophet Muhammad was born. This powerful leader: Abraha – king of Saba, Hadramawt and Yamen – is believed to have been killed and his army humiliated by the Meccans led by Abd al-Muttalib in the battle of Macca. As amazing as this story is, we observe that the Quran seems to mention this event as well or so the traditionalists contend. Nonetheless, it would be vital to validate this event and determine its authenticity.
