About Surah Al-Fil

Al-Fil, the Elephant, recalls the year the Prophet (peace be upon him) was born, when an army with an elephant came to destroy the Kaaba and was wiped out by flocks of birds carrying stones. It is a short, vivid reminder that Allah protects His sacred house and humbles those who challenge Him.
