In the first episode of Life of the Final Messenger ﷺ, Mufti Menk takes us back to the miraculous Year of the Elephant — when Allah protected the Ka‘bah from Abraha’s army — and the divine events that led to the birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the greatest mercy ever sent to mankind. Witness how Allah shattered arrogance without a single sword being raised, and how this historic moment became the divine prelude to the arrival of the Final Messenger ﷺ — a man destined to guide humanity with mercy, wisdom, and truth.
