Each single bird had a pebble in its beak and another one in each of his claws.<\/p>\n<p>Abu `Ubaid said that the word \u2018<i>ababeel<\/i>\u2019 means that they were multiple groups of different species.<\/p>\n<p>Then, he explains the different types of Allah\u2019s soldiers which some of them are mentioned in the Qur\u2019an. After that, he illustrates the infinite power of Allah as those small pebbles were like bullets in penetrating the target. It was like guided missiles from Allah as those pebbles would enter the skulls of the people of Abrahah.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy watching this talk with Sheikh Nouman Khan to realize how the Almighty Allah has defended his Sacred House.<\/p>\n<p>________________________________<br \/>\n<em>Source: NAKcollection Channel on Youtube<\/em><a href='https:\/\/www.learning-quran.com\/people-elephant\/' target='_blank'>Soucre Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you know about the birds that Allah has sent to defend His Sacred House? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[254,255,256,9,257,258,259,11,78,260,261,262,16,17,263,264,265],"class_list":["post-113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-about-the-quran","category-learn-the-quran","tag-abraha","tag-abrahah","tag-chapter-of-the-elephant","tag-featured","tag-great-power","tag-history-of-makkah","tag-infinite-power-of-allah","tag-learn-the-quran","tag-learning-quran","tag-makkah","tag-miracles-of-allah","tag-punishment-of-allah","tag-sheikh-nouman-khan","tag-significance-of-the-quran","tag-soldiers-of-allah","tag-surat-al-fil","tag-the-people-of-the-elephant"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Surat-Al-Fil.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imuslim.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
