@Hadithoftheday Aam-al-fīl or Year of elephant..
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born in the year of the elephant (Aam-al-feel)
This year was named after the event whereby Allah protected the Kabaah from an invading Abyssinian army. This incident is related in the Chapter of the Elephant (Quran: 105)
@Hadithoftheday Before Islam (in the year in which the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born), the Ka’bah was subjected to an attack by the Ethiopian Abrahah, who had built al-Qulays, a church to which he wanted the Arabs to make their pilgrimage. +
@Hadithoftheday At that time, Abraha, the Governer of Yemen, had invaded Makkah intending to demolish the Ka'bah in order to attract the Arab Pilgrims to the mock Ka'bah (al-Qulays) he had set up in Yemen. Abraha arrived in Makkah, together with his troops, on elephants.
@Hadithoftheday He set out with his army, with whom was the elephant, and when they reached Makkah, Allah sent flocks of birds against them; each bird was carrying three stones like chickpeas or lentils, one in its beak and two in its claws.
@Hadithoftheday Every man who was struck by a stone was killed, so the army was destroyed, by the command of Allaah.
Allaah sent flights of birds carrying brick stones in there beaks and claws. They dropped them onto the invaders until all of them and the elephants were destroyed.
@Hadithoftheday Allah has mentioned this incident in Surah Feel of Qur'an:
Allah says:
“Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant?
Did He not make their plot go astray? (Al-Feel, 105;1-2)
Anas Ibn Malik R.A had a younger brother who was called "Abu 'Umair" by nickname (kunyah).
Abu Umair had a nughayr (a kind of bird or sparrow) which he played with and it died.
When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard about it, he sat with Abu Umair, for a long time, consoling the boy over the death of his bird!
Anas bin Malik R.A narrates:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to visit us. I had a younger brother who was called Abu ‘Umair by nickname (kunyah).
He had a sparrow which he played with, but it died.
So one day the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came to see him and saw him grieving.
One of the important events that occurred in the month of Muharram was the Battle of Karbala.
This battle is one of the most memorable battles for Muslims.
Hussain (R.A) and his companions’ courage against oppression have become an example for Muslims who experience oppression to take a step toward fighting against any form of oppression.
The battle of Karbala took place on 10 Muharram 61 AH at Karbala, precisely near the Euphrates River, or the area now known as Iraq.

The 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah is the Day of Arafah. Arafah was the day on which Allah perfected His religion, completed His favours upon His beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, & approved Islam as a way of life
There is no other day like it (Arafah) in the whole year.
The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire more so than on the Day of ‘Arafah. Indeed, He draws near and then boasts of them to the angels then says, “What do these want?“' [Muslim]
It is when the religion of Islam was perfected.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed upon you My blessing and I have chosen for you Islam as [your] religion” (5:3)
This verse was revealed on the day of Arafah.

@Hadithoftheday Two angels were shading the Prophet ﷺ when the heat of the sun grew too intense.
When the Prophet ﷺ came to the city of Busra in Syria, he stopped in the shade of a tree, and one of the monks said to Maysarah, “No one ever stops under the shade of this tree but a Prophet.”
@Hadithoftheday Maysara was the old and trusted slave of Khadijah R.A.
Maysara was the Slave of Sayyidah Khadija R.A who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ in business tour.
@Hadithoftheday Maysarah accompanied the Prophet ﷺ in business tour.
