![]() Ibn Kathir, the leading authority on Prophetic Tradition and history, recounts the story as follows: Yemen was under the control of the rulers of Himyar. Many miraculous incidents of this nature occurred before the birth and the advent of the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ، and one of them was the incident of the ‘People of the Elephants’ who were miraculously prevented by the Heavenly scourge from destroying the House of Allah. As the miraculous events taking place before the advent of prophets or before their claim to prophet-hood are meant to introduce and affirm that soon a particular prophet will be Divinely commissioned, they are referred to as irhas. The word irahs means a ‘foundation stone’. This, in the parlance of the scholars of Hadith, is called irhas which means ‘prologue or introduction’. However, sometimes it happens that a miraculous event takes place before a prophet’s claim to prophet-hood. Therefore, a mujizah is shown after a prophet’s Divine commission. The scholars of Hadith have taken this event as a special type of mujizah (miracle) of the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ، but the term mujizah, in its real sense, refers to an abnormal event shown by Allah to prove the claim of a prophet to having been sent by Him. This event took place in the very year in which the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was born at Makkah, according to some traditions and the popular view among the historians. Thus their plans were foiled and thwarted. Allah destroyed the army with a flock of ordinary birds. But their plan backfired and the Divine scourge overtook them. This Surah refers to the story of the People of the Elephants who came with an army of elephants for the purpose of destroying the House of Allah in (The Holy Ka’bah) in Makkah.
