Sure Fil
1. Have you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant? [The Elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka‘bah at Makkah].
2. Did He not make their plot go astray?
3. And He sent against them birds, in flocks,
4. Striking them with stones of Sijjîl (baked clay).
5. And He made them like (an empty field of) stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
While the army was marching towards Makkah, in the middle of the valley, suddenly it was overtaken by flocks of birds, flocks after flocks, air-raiding that army with small stones slightly bigger than a lentil seed. There never fell a stone on a soldier except it dissolved his flesh and burst it into pieces. So they perished with a total destruction. Abrahah Al-Ashram fled away while his flesh was bursting into pieces till he died on the way (back to Yemen). Such was the victory bestowed by Allâh, (the All-Majestic, All-Powerful) to the people of Makkah and such was the protection provided by Him for His House (Ka‘bah in Makkah). (See Tafsîr Ibn Kathir, Sûrah Al-Fîl).
look at the power in that little stone...

Two Women Elected to Posts in Saudi Arabia
Wednesday, November 30, 2005
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Two women were elected to a chamber of commerce in Jiddah, the first to win any such post in Saudi Arabia, where women are largely barred from political life, officials said Wednesday.
Lama al-Sulaiman and Nashwa Taher won seats on the Jiddah Trade and Industry Chamber, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The chamber's elections on Saturday and Sunday were the first polls in Saudi Arabia in which women could either vote or run for office. In the kingdom's first nationwide municipal elections this year, women could not vote or seek posts. Electoral officials said women might be allowed to vote in the 2009 municipal polls.
The Jiddah Trade and Industry Chamber had initially rejected the nomination of 10 women for its board of governors, but the government ordered it to allow female voters and candidates.
King Abdullah, who ascended to the throne in August, has said he wants to promote the status of women.
The two women will become members of an 18-member board that had previously been exclusively for men
The move is a small but unprecedented step for Saudi Arabia, where women are heavily restricted. They may not drive a car, and a male guardian must give permission for women to travel abroad.
Now tell me, who says women are refrained from doing things in saudi. GO SAUDI!!!!!:loving:

UAE to hold first limited elections
Sheikh Khalifa gave no date for the election to the council
The United Arab Emirates, UAE, will hold its first elections witn a vote to pick half the members of a consultative council, the president announced.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan said on Thursday that the Federal National Council, the closest body the country has to a parliament, will have half of its members elected and the other half appointed.
"In light of the changes and reforms our region is witnessing ... we decided to begin activating the National Assembly by electing half of its members," Sheikh Khalifa said in a speech to mark the UAE's national day.
The speech, carried on state news agency WAM, gave no date for the election to the council, whose 40 members are currently all appointed by the seven semi-autonomous emirates that make up the UAE.
UAE citizens are a small minority in the oil producing region, which has a population of 4 million.
Although there is no political dissent or Islamist violence in the UAE, it is the only country without elected bodies in the mainly conservative Gulf region after Saudi Arabia held municipal elections this year.

Bush al-Jazeera 'plot' dismissed
Al Jazeera has broadcast messages from Osama Bin Laden
The White House has dismissed claims George Bush was talked out of bombing Arab television station al-Jazeera by UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The allegations were made by an unnamed source in the Daily Mirror newspaper.
A White House official said: "We are not going to dignify something so outlandish with a response."
Ex-UK minister Peter Kilfoyle, who opposed the Iraq war, had called for a transcript of the alleged conversation to be published.
Launched in 1996, al-Jazeera is best known outside of the Arab world for carrying exclusive al-Qaeda messages.
The station is based in Qatar, a close ally of Washington's and the location of US military headquarters during the Iraq war.
'Top Secret'
According to the Mirror's source, the transcript records a conversation during Mr Blair's visit to the White House on 16 April 2004, in the wake of an attempt to root out insurgents in the Iraqi city of Falluja, in which 30 US Marines died.
If true, then this underlines the desperation of the Bush administration as events in Iraq began to spiral out of control
Sir Menzies Campbell, Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman
The memo, which the Mirror says is stamped "Top Secret", allegedly details how Mr Blair argued against what the paper calls a "plot" to attack the station's buildings in the business district of Doha, the capital city of Qatar.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "We have got nothing to say about this story. We don't comment on leaked documents."
But Mr Kilfoyle - a former defence minister and leading Labour opponent of the Iraq war - has called for the full text to be published.
"I believe that Downing Street ought to publish this memo in the interests of transparency, given that much of the detail appears to be in the public domain.
"I think they ought to clarify what exactly happened on this occasion.
"If it was the case that President Bush wanted to bomb al-Jazeera in what is after all a friendly country, it speaks volumes and it raises questions about subsequent attacks that took place on the press that wasn't embedded with coalition forces."
Al-Jazeera reaction
Mr Kilfoyle said he had not seen the memo, but had learnt of its alleged contents at the time of the original leak and believed it tallied with the Mirror's report.
In a statement, al-Jazeera said it needed to be sure of the report's authenticity before reaching any conclusions and urged Downing Street to confirm its status as soon as possible.
The statement said: "If the report is correct, then this would be both shocking and worrisome not only to al-Jazeera but to media organisations across the world.
"It would cast serious doubts in regard to the US administration's version of previous incidents involving al-Jazeera's journalists and offices."
Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Sir Menzies Campbell said: "If true, then this underlines the desperation of the Bush administration as events in Iraq began to spiral out of control.
"On this occasion, the prime minister may have been successful in averting political disaster, but it shows how dangerous his relationship with President Bush has been."
'Joke'
BBC News website world affairs correspondent Paul Reynolds said: "An attack on al-Jazeera would also have been an attack on Qatar, where the US military has its Middle East headquarters. So the possibility has to be considered that Mr Bush was in fact making some kind of joke and that this was not a serious proposition."
According to The Mirror, the transcript is the document which allegedly turned up in the constituency office of former Labour MP Tony Clarke in May 2004.
Mr Clarke - who voted against the Iraq War and lost his Northampton South seat in this May's election - said he returned the document to the government because of fears British troops' lives could be put at risk if it became public.
Cabinet Office civil servant David Keogh has been charged under the Official Secrets Act of passing it to Mr Clarke's former researcher Leo O'Connor.
Both men are bailed to appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court next week.
Mr Clarke refused to discuss the contents of the document which he received, telling the Press Association his priority was supporting Mr O'Connor, who he said did "exactly the right thing" in bringing it to his attention.
