About The Book
The greedy and power-hungry king Abrahah intends to divert the world’s pilgrims from the Kaba, the House of Allah in Makkah, to the cathedral his slaves have built for him.
But when the cathedrals spires finally slice through the brilliant Yemeni skies and its magnificent doors are opened, the throngs Abrahah has been boasting about do not arrive.
In a rage, he vows to destroy the Kaba, but Allah, the Causer of all causes, has other plans. True happenings, stranger by far than fiction, demonstrate that if He says, Be!, it is, it surely is.
