Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?
(reference is made to Abraha, a Christian king of Yaman, who attacked Makkah with the army of elephants in the year of the Prophet Muhammad’s birth)?
Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah ; then He will inform them about what they used to do. 6:159
But the people have divided their religion into sects between them- to Us they shall all return. 21:93
In fact, your religion is one religion, and I am your only Lord: so fear Me Alone. 23:52
But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing. 23:53
But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time. 23:54
Chapter 105 : Al-Fil – 5 Verses
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?
(reference is made to Abraha, a Christian king of Yaman, who attacked Makkah with the army of elephants in the year of the Prophet Muhammad’s birth)?
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
And send against them flocks of birds,
Meaning:-
Flock: large group.
Note:
The miracle consisted in the birds coming in large flights and flinging stones at the army which destroyed the whole of Abraha’s army.
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
