CONFESSED & SUPPORTED
PROPHET MUHAMMAD
In the year Prophet Muhammad was born and sixty years after his birth four
significant regional events occurred in which Mecca and Jerusalem were their center
point.
The first event to occur was the failed attempt by the Christians of Yemen and Abyssinia
(now Ethiopia) to destroy the Ka‟bah with elephants. This event occurred five years
before Heraclius‟ birth.
The second event that occurred before Heraclius was proclaimed Emperor of Rome was
the amassing of the army of the fire-worshiping Persians who then destroyed Jerusalem.
The third event occurred when Heraclius revenged the destruction of Jerusalem by
engaging the Persian army, thereby preventing the might of Persia striking against
Mecca. This event is recorded in the Koran. When Abu Bakr was confronted by the idol
worshipers of Mecca he described Heraclius and his army as “our brethren in faith.”
