Abraha & Geert Wilders: “God will protech the Quran!” like he protected the Kaabaa! Silence is the best response! Give Geert greetings and Blessings so that he can mend his ways  

Caravans pass, and dogs keep barking. Such is the case with Geert Wilders. He is ready to release a film called “fitna” in which he will utter blasphemy against the Quran, and may even burn it. He will then show a cartoon about the Prophet Muhammad.

He should not be met with violence. His antics should be met with silence. His worst enemy that he fears is oblivion, which will quickly descend upon him if Muslims ignore him.

According to a pre-Islamic records, there is this story. Abraha, the King of Yemen built a great church at Sanaa in honor of his ally the Negus, a Christian Abyssinian Emperor. The church gained widespread fame, even gaining the notice of the Byzantines. The pagan Arabs of the time had their own center of religious worship and pilgrimage in Mecca, the Kaaba. Abraha then proceeded to attempt to divert their pilgrimage to his new cathedral and is reported to have appointed and sent a Muhammad Khuza’i to Mecca and the Hijaz as a king with a message that his church was both much better than their house of worship and purer, having not been defiled by the housing of idols.

Abraha, incensed, launched an expedition of 40,000 men against the Kaaba at Mecca led by a white elephant (and possibly with other elephants) in order to destroy the Kaaba. Several Arab tribes attempted to fight him on the way, but were defeated.

 Abraha’s elephant couldn’t make further steps into Mecca. Neither force nor dissuasion would make it advance towards Mecca. If they turned him towards Syria or Yemen, it would walk in haste but when he was turned towards the Kaaba, it would kneel on its knees as if it would adore the city that its master was intent on destroying.

As Abraha neared Mecca, he sent them an emissary, telling them that he would not fight them if they did not resist his destruction of the Kaaba. Abdul Muttalib, the chief of Quraysh, responded that he would defend his own property, but God would defend His house, the Kaaba, and withdrew with his people. The next day, as Abraha prepared to enter the city, swarms of birds carrying small rocks came and bombarded the Ethiopian forces; each man that was hit was killed, and they fled in panic, as Abraha died a horrible death. The tribes saw this as a sign of the Kaaba’s holiness. According to the Abbasid account, this incident took place in 570 C.E. when the exalted Messenger was born; this year was commemorated as the “Aam-il Feel” (Year of the Elephant).

Geert Wilders only displays his bigotry and ignorance by his theatrics. The best answer is silence. Silence is the best response! Give Geert greetings and Blessings so that he can mend his ways
