sOrah cv AI-FU, “The Elephant,” takes its name from a word in the first verse. The allusion is to the campaign of Abraha, the Abyssinian ruler of Al-Yaman, against Mecca, with the purpose of destroying the Ka'bah in the year of the Prophet's birth. He had with him an elephant which much impressed the Arabs. Tradition says that the elephant refused to advance on the last stage of the march, and that swarms of flying creatures pelted the Abyssinians with stones. Another tradition says that they retired in disorder owing to an outbreak of smallpox in the camp. At the time when this Surah was revealed, many men in Mecca must have known what happened. Dr. Krenkow, a sound Arabic scholar, is of opinion that the flying creatures may well have been swarms of insects carrying infection. In any case the Ka'bah was saved from destruction after its defenders had despaired.
A very early Meccan Surah.
THE ELEPHANT Revealed at Mecca In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?

SORAH CXI Al-Masad takes its name from a word (to the Arabs a very homely word) in the last verse. It is the only passage in the whole Koran where an opponent of the Prophet is denounced by name. Abu Lahab (The Father of Flame), whose real name was Abdul ‘Uzzi, was a first cousin of the Prophet’s grandfather and was the only member of his own clan who bitterly opposed the Prophet. Fie made it his business to torment the Prophet, and his wife took a pleasure in carrying thorn bushes and strewing them in the sand where she knew that the Prophet was sure to walk barefooted.

It is generally held to be an early Meccan Surah.

sOrah cxiii Al-Falaq, “The Daybreak,” takes its name from a word in the first verse. This and the following Surah are prayers for protection, this one being for protection from fears proceeding from the unknown. Tlie two Surahs are known as Al-Mu'awwadhateyn, the two cries for refuge and protection.
An early Meccan Surah.
THE DAYBREAK Revealed at Mecca In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
