Abaabil (=Flock of sacred birds)

April 2009


   
Hi there,

Its my second caricature which has a long story!

Its name is "Abaabil" which is the Quranic name of the flock of birds that were ordered by God to defeat the "Abraha"s army by stones who wanted to destroy "Kaaba" (The sacred building in "Mecca" which was made by "Adam" the prophet (PBUH) and was rebuilt by "Ibrahim" the prophet (PBUH), and the place which muslims pray toward it ("Qibla"))
Further info at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaba

The verse ("And you did not throw...") is from Surah Al-Anfal of Quran, that if you are willful you can read more about it at Wikipedia at here:

I tried to make the tank like "Merkava" (the Israeli tank)

Hope you like it and wainting for your c&c
