The extraordinary events that took place before his birth are a proof of his prophethood.

There are some important events that took place before the birth of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). Since these events are connected with the prophet Muhammad (PUBH) and the blessed place in which he was born, they are both his miracles and proofs of his prophethood.

A few examples from them;

• Fifty-two days before the birth of prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Abraha and his army attacked the city of Mecca in order to destruct the Kaaba but they were stoned by the birds named Ababil,

• The idols in the Kaaba fell down and broke into pieces,

• Fourteen towers of Kisra’s Palace in the city of Madayin fell down,

• The enormous fire of Zoroastrians which had been burning for thousands of years suddenly died out,

• The famous Lake of Sawa (Tabariyya), dried up all of a sudden…

Those events and similar ones show that the Qibla of this blessed person to be born would be Mecca and he would demolish all kinds of idolatry and polytheism.
