00:01I liked what you did yesterday, Rat.
00:04When I was obedient and calm with the lost little cat
00:09We are all weak before divine power.
00:21We pray to God to have mercy on us
00:24How can we not have mercy on the weak among us?
00:27Look
00:27Here is another tyrant, wielding his power and arrogantly displaying his strength.
00:35Go away, you oppressor
00:36What is with you?
00:40Understood
00:41Do you want to know what happened to the tyrannical ruler Abraha al-Habashi?
00:47He wanted to divert people away from the Holy Kaaba.
00:52He built a large temple in Yemen
00:55No one entered it except a passerby.
00:59He included a toilet in it and relieved himself there.
01:07Abraha rebelled and assembled a large army to destroy the Kaaba.
01:12At the head of the army was our friend, the good elephant.
01:18It's strange why they reduce the amount of food we eat.
01:26This always happens before training
01:29What training?
01:31Don't worry
01:32He forbade trivial things
01:35They are asking us to walk quickly.
01:37We destroy any tents we come across.
01:40I am not reassured by what is happening.
01:45You must obey orders.
01:48Or have you forgotten the hunger you suffered?
01:52Don't remind me
01:53I was hungry while I was in the forest
01:56But I was free
01:58The days of the beautiful forest are over.
02:01Nothing is over
02:03I will return to my forest someday
02:05When I know the way to it
02:11The road to Mecca is long, sir.
02:14We encountered several tribes defending their Kaaba
02:19I don't care about the Arab tribes.
02:23The important thing is to completely destroy the Kaaba.
02:28If we chained the Kaaba with iron chains
02:32And We made the elephants drag it before the people while it was broken.
02:37Isn't that enough to break their noses?
02:42Good idea
02:44Train the elephants for that
03:01This is the training location
03:03All you have to do is smash through whatever comes your way as you walk.
03:07Let's go then
03:11Stop the big elephant
03:14Abraha has not yet arrived
03:18I am waiting
03:20We will perform the training in front of their leader.
03:23Why did they wake me up and take me out of my house?
03:26As long as their leader hasn't arrived yet
03:33Lift your trunk and bend your leg like me.
03:37Why do I keep repeating this silly movement?
03:40Huh?
03:40Why?
03:43To get dinner
03:46Okay, I will.
03:48Let the training begin.
03:49Let the training begin.
04:02I like the performance of this big elephant
04:05He moves the tents aside like dry tree branches.
04:10Now training the chains
04:12I have built, sir
04:14cube of stone
04:17Larger than the Kaaba
04:20If the elephants succeed in destroying it
04:24It would have been easy for them to destroy the Kaaba.
04:28I want to watch this
04:31Let's go
04:32Come on, move
04:33Why isn't it moving?
04:36Whip him
04:37No one hits me with a whip
04:40This is too much
04:41I will show you the family
04:49amazing
04:50This is greater than I imagined
04:53You are brave and strong
04:55And you are short and thin
04:57I have appointed this elephant as the leader of his group.
05:01And a commander of the army's method
05:10I can't imagine what's happening
05:12I am stepping on people inside these tents
05:15The training wasn't like this.
05:18majestic
05:19Let's do our part and eat
05:21What is the fault of the children, women, and elderly who are sheltering in their tents?
05:25Do as I do
05:28Close your eyes like this
05:30And you attack
05:35The battle with Dhu Nufr was easier than we expected.
05:40I expect, my lord
05:41We will find greater resistance with the knights of Nufayl ibn Habib
05:46I want to take him prisoner too.
05:49With his friend, the one who...
05:51Here are the tents of the Arabs appearing on the horizon.
05:54The elephants marched on the attack
05:57Look
05:58A tribe larger than before
06:01Dozens of tents filled with children, the elderly, and the infirm
06:05Remember, O Mighty One
06:07to remember
06:08Close your eyes
06:11He carried out the orders
06:17They also influenced Nufayl ibn Habib
06:20They destroy everything in their path
06:22But we will defend our land and the Kaaba until death.
06:26We ask the master of Mecca, Abdul-Muttalib ibn Munafin al-Hashimi
06:33The master of Mecca told them
06:35The grandfather of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
06:40Abrat has come to us with an army we cannot withstand.
06:44And wisdom dictates
06:47To protect the blood of Arabs and save the lives of innocents
06:52But, O master of Quraish
06:54Isn't this a weakness on our part?
06:56How can we not defend the Kaaba?
06:59Abdul Muttalib said
07:00This is the Sacred House of God
07:03And the house of his friend Abraham, peace be upon him
07:07If he forbids it, then it is his house and his sanctuary.
07:11And if he violates it, then by God, we have no defense for him.
07:15You are right, sir.
07:17This is the eye of wisdom
07:19Let's warn our families and prepare to evacuate Mecca.
07:27Here are the mountains of Mecca
07:29Let the great elephant prepare for its most important task in the battle.
07:33Look, sir
07:34Camels and sheep grazing alone on the outskirts of Mecca
07:38Yes
07:39They feel safe here
07:42They left their camels to graze alone without guarding them.
07:46We need these camels, my lord.
07:49To prepare a feast sufficient for the army soldiers
07:52We will slaughter it tomorrow morning in celebration of the marking of the Kaaba.
07:56Now let the soldiers rest.
07:59The big elephant took care to feed him
08:03The leader is pointing towards you
08:05It seems he's ordering dinner for us.
08:09I don't want to eat anything
08:11I'm going to put you to sleep.
08:27my dad
08:28my dad
08:29my dad
08:30It's me
08:32Don't you know me?
08:33Get away from me, you strange animal!
08:37Are you angry with me, Dad?
08:39Isn't that so?
08:41I couldn't resist
08:42The hunger was severe and painful.
08:46I wish I could die and go to the elephant graveyard to rest.
08:50Don't do that
08:51They had only noble elephants.
08:55You will never reach the forest
08:59You will die a servant in a land you do not know.
09:08But, Father
09:10my dad
09:11my dad
09:12Where are you, Dad?
09:14my dad
09:15majestic
09:18majestic
09:19majestic
09:20What happened?
09:23It scared us all
09:25I saw my father
09:27He was here
09:28Did you see him?
09:29how?
09:31How can that be when he is dead, O mighty one?
09:34He really died
09:36I wish I had gone with him to await death
09:40Are you sick, Mahib?
09:43It happened inside me
09:44Things I don't understand
09:49My Lord, through it
09:50Abdul Muttalib, the master of Mecca
09:53Interview requested
09:54Did he come at the head of his army?
09:57No, my lord
09:58He had no knights or even slaves to guard him.
10:01Strange thing
10:03Let him in immediately
10:05Please, Mr. Abdul Muttalib
10:08My lord, King Abraha is waiting for you in his tent.
10:11Sayyid Abd al-Muttalib of Mecca said
10:14Peace be upon King Abraha the Abyssinian
10:18Welcome
10:19Please take a seat
10:21What do you want?
10:22Abdul Muttalib said
10:24I want the king to return to me the two hundred camels he took from me.
10:29When I saw you, your face exuded majesty and awe.
10:33Then I lost interest in you when you spoke to me
10:36You speak to me about the two hundred camels I took from you
10:40And you leave a home that is your religion and the religion of your fathers?
10:44Abdul Muttalib said
10:46I am the lord of the camels, and the house has a lord who will protect it.
10:51He won't protect him from me.
10:53Abdul-Muttalib said, "Do as you please."
10:56Give him the camels we took yesterday.
10:59The interview is over, Mr. Mecca
11:03my lord
11:04I am uneasy
11:07What do you mean?
11:09Abdul Muttalib, the master of Mecca
11:12He speaks calmly and confidently.
11:14It's as if he knows things we don't.
11:17He's trying to appear composed.
11:29We are fully prepared, Commander.
11:32May everyone from their continent be plunged into hell
11:35Let each bird devour a single stone of baked clay.
11:39Excuse me, Commander
11:41The stones of Sijjil are extremely destructive.
11:44Perhaps it will breach the entire place
11:46It could completely destroy planet Earth.
11:49Don't be afraid, bird.
11:51The stones of Sijjil
11:52It is commanded to strike only the disbelievers.
11:55And do not harm those around them who are safe.
11:58When, sir, will we start the bombing?
12:00I don't know, like you
12:01The orders to move have just been issued
12:04When the order to attack is given
12:06I will give you the agreed-upon signal.
12:11And at that moment
12:13A generous king appeared to the elephant
12:16He was afraid and trembled
12:18The king reassured him
12:20And he ordered him to remain confined to the land.
12:23Come on, elephant
12:25move
12:26Why isn't the elephant moving?
12:30Whip him to make him get up
12:35The more whips fell on my back
12:38My sense of freedom increased
12:41It's as if I'm returning to my forest
12:44Strike him with swords and spears
12:46He must rise up
12:51This is a moment of choice, Dad.
12:54The one you told me about
12:57I choose honor
12:59Dad, are you pleased with me?
13:26What are these scary birds?
13:29That's what Abdul Muttalib said, and I didn't understand it.
13:33The house has a Lord who protects it.
13:47The frightened elephants are studying the soldiers
13:53Come on, come on
13:56Let's run away quickly
14:04I can't get up
14:07The chains that bind me
14:10Surrounding the Sacred House of God
14:13I'm afraid to move
14:16The House of God was struck by a market
14:18fire
14:20fire
14:21Fire all around us
14:24We will perish
14:26We will perish
14:29We will perish
14:31the important
14:32That the House of God will not be destroyed
14:35Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
14:41Did He not render their scheme futile?
14:45He sent against them flocks of birds.
14:49They pelted them with stones of baked clay.
14:52He made them like straw eaten up.
14:56God Almighty has spoken the truth.
15:03Abraha's army has left no trace.
15:07It became like chaff eaten away
15:10That is, the mighty army
15:13It turned into something resembling food.
15:16What the animals ate and digested
15:20Then the remains became sun-dried
15:24And it flew away with the wind
15:26Indeed, Abraha himself
15:28It became known in history as being associated with the elephant.
15:32The one who served him
15:34The elephant became a symbol by which its owners, the disbelievers, were pointed.
15:39The people of Mecca returned to their homes in safety.
15:44They found the Kaaba as it was, untouched.
15:47They named this year the Year of the Elephant
15:52And in it
15:54The Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was born
