Who among the following attempted to destroy the ka’abah?

  1. Abrahah ✓

Explanation

Abrahah was an Ethiopian ruler who tried to destroy the Kaaba with an army that included elephants. This happened in the year Prophet Muhammad was born.

Allah sent flocks of birds carrying stones that destroyed Abrahah’s army. This miraculous event is mentioned in Surah al-Fil in the Quran.

This shows that Allah protects His sacred house, even before the Prophet’s mission began.
