Thank you Farah. Abraha was at first a general and representative of the Ethiopian (Abyssinian) army that took control of Yemen and ruled that part of Arabia on behalf of the Emperor. Later he became too powerful and titled himself King of Yemen. Some of the tafsirs mention that the Emperor of Ethiopia (Abyssinia) at that time was Negus. The Abyssinians were Christians.
Amazing work Mashallah! My Saturday School lesson has become really easy and interesting now Alhumdulillah 🙂 the kids like it because of the lego! Keep the awesomeness coming!
Zeynab, welcome to my blog.

Fantastic work! The background information really made the surah and the verses come alive.
I thought Abraha was from Africa?
