And, each one of the "Flights of Birds" was bestowed with a power enough to destroy Abraha's army. At the same time pictures were taken of the attackingĪrmy that helped us make a quick estimation of the forces required to destroy our enemy. they delved into it with their beaks and brought out stones of Sijjil. The birds bowed their beaks and dipped them in Hell-fire. I said, “To strike an army heading towards the Ka`bah with the intention to destroy it." The Commander said, "What is our mission?" while they themselves are originally the source of absolute terror. The Commander of the birds asked, "Who has summoned us forth from the depths of Hell?" One second after my scream, the whole Eighth Army gathered upon the branches of fear, the trees of terror and the desolateness of destruction and emptiness. And a wave of mysterious terror vibrated through the atmosphere of the earth. My scream made the farthest star tremble and its atoms shook out of evil omen, and the blood froze in the mountains' veins and its summits became adorned with deathly white snow. I screamed out and so the army gathered around. I was the first one to receive the order. And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle). " Striking them with stones of Sijjil (baked clay). Did He not make their plot go astray? And sent against them birds, in flocks. The Exalted says, "Have you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant?.

The second mission in which Almighty Allah has mentioned us in by name was the strike on the Owners of the Elephant. Marked from your Lord, and they are not ever far from the Zalimun (polytheists, evil-doers, etc.)."ĭuring this mission we were not mentioned by name in the context of the verses. Almighty Allah says, "So when Our Commandment came, We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down, and rained on them stones of baked clay, piled up. The first mission was to strike the cities of Prophet Lut (peace be upon him). As for us creatures, there are cascading curtains and thick barriers that separate between them and us and this is because of Allah's mercy to His servants.Īllah has mentioned two of these missions in His last Book (The Ever-Glorious Qur'an) to mortals.
"Every day He has a matter to bring forth (such as giving honor to some, disgrace to some, life to some, death to some, etc.)!"Īll what I can say is that those missions were known to the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. I will not say how many missions we have carried out, for this matter belongs only to Almighty Allah. We launch wars only at the order of Almighty Allah. The number of armies is a secret as well as the number of birds in the Eighth Army. I am the Commander of Communications among the six wings of the Eighth Army of these birds. I am one of the "Flocks of Birds," that was mentioned in the Qur'an. My reality encloses a secret which if it is revealed to any creature, his blood will freeze and he will cease to exist out of fright. While meekness is a characteristic of most visual creatures in the universe, then the frightful horror constitutes a characteristic of their unknown counterparts.
