translate English to French: Before Islam (in the year in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 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. He set out with his army, with whom was the elephant, and when they reached Makkah, Allaah 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.
La mosquée abrite des vestiges religieux tels la station d’Abraham, c’est-à- dire la pierre sur laquelle il se mettait debout pendant qu’il construisait la Ka’aba, et le puits Zamzam qui est une source d’eau qu’Allah fit jaillir pour Hadjar et son fils Islamel (psl) lorsque ce dernier éprouva de la soif.
