Description

He prayed for the power to establish justice. In the same breath, he asked for greatness.

Aksum, the sixth century. A young soldier hears how the Christians of Najran were driven into a burning trench, and resolves that such cruelty will be answered. Abraha will cross the sea, see his greatest rival struck down by a hidden hand, seize the throne of Yemen and raise at Sana'a a church to rival any in the world. Each victory convinces him a little more that his ambition is destiny.

Then he turns his army, and his great elephant, toward a small town in the Hijaz and the House that stands at its centre. An old man comes out to meet him, asking only for his camels back.

Drawing on al-Tabari and the inscriptions of Abraha's own reign, Abraha is the story behind Surat al-Fil: a tragedy of ambition, conscience and power, and of a king undone by the smallest of creatures.
