UDL: "2017: The Year Of The Elephant" (continued)

Chapter 105. Feel  - The Elephant

     1. Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?

     2. Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?

     3. And He sent against them flights of Birds

     4. Striking them with stones of baked clay.

     5. Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw (of which the corn) has been eaten up.

Abdul Muttalib then went with some of his sons to see Abraha. Abraha welcomed him with respect. He expected Abdul Muttalib to ask him not to destroy the Holy Ka'ba but instead Abdul Muttalib asked for the return of his camels. Abraha was surprised that Abdul Muttalib was talking about camels when the Holy Ka'ba itself was going to be destroyed.
In response to Abraha's remarks, Abdul Muttalib gave a famous reply, saying: "I am the owner of the camels. The House too has a Master who looks after it."
