According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the 'Companions of the Elephant' (Ashab al-Fil) refers to the army led by the Abyssinian ruler of Yemen, Abraha, who sought to destroy the Kaaba in Mecca. The event, which took place in the year of Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ birth, is immortalized in Surah Al-Fil (Chapter 105) of the Quran. Tafsir by eminent scholars such as Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir explains that Abraha's formidable force, which included war elephants, was miraculously annihilated by flocks of birds (Ababil) sent by Allah, which pelted the soldiers with stones of baked clay (sijjil). [9, 13] This divine intervention not only demonstrated Allah's absolute power and His sanctity of the Kaaba but also served as a divine prelude to the advent of the final Prophet. The synthesis of historical accounts and Quranic exegesis establishes this event as a critical moment in pre-Islamic history, underscoring the theme of divine protection over human arrogance.
