Elephant is often referred to as the name of the year Prophet Muhammad was born. “The Elephant” is a chapter of the Quran that tells the story of when Abraha the Abyssinian marched upon the Kaabah in Mecca with a large army, which included war elephants, intending to demolish it and what it symbolized. However, the lead elephant ‘Mahmud’ stopped at the boundary and refused to enter.
