made his announcement, they were very angry and ignored his
request, Abraha became very angry and he decided to destroy
.the Ka’bah

?Why did Abraha want to destroy the Ka’bah

Abrahah prepared himself and set out with a huge and powerful army so that none might prevent him from carrying out his mission. He took along agreat, powerful elephant that had a huge body the like of which had never.been seen before

Allah (SWT) destroyed them and this event was the lead up to
.Muhammad’s birth and glorification for the house of Allah Al Ka’bah

The army got close to the Ka'bah, then an army of Allah appeared
from the western side. A dark cloud of small birds (known in Arabic
as Ababil) overshadowed the entire army of Abraha. Each bird had
three pebbles: two in its claws and one in its beak. A rain of the
pebbles poured down from the birds, and in a few minutes, the
whole army was destroyed
