Abaabeel

There is zikr of the bird Abaabeel in Surah Al-Feel in the Qur’aan. Does anyone know what is Abaabeel called in English?.

Gracias,
FG

Swallow

there is mention of these birds throwing stones from the air onto the badguys.......what a (cynical/coincidental) parrallel to see that recently it were the US fighterjets (in the shape of birds) throwing bombs (stones) onto the "muslim" coutries/terrorist organisations.

Thank you, AQ. Do you have any pics of the bird?

u sure it isnt a skylark?

Whichever mod moved it to religion is VERY THICK. This has nothing to do with religion. It's a question about birds.

Its not appropriate to use that analogy. What are you suggesting anyway?
