As explained in note [114] on 11:82, this latter term is synonymous with sijill, which signifies "a writing" and, tropically, "something that has been decreed [by God]": hence, the phrase hijarah min sijjil is a metaphor for "stone-hard blows of chastisement pre-ordained", i.e., in God's decree (Zamakhshari and Razi, with analogous comments on the same expression in 11:82).

Hamiduddin Farahi, translated by Tariq Mahmood Hashmi (2008). Exordium to coherence in the Quran: an English translation of Fātiḥah Niẓām al-Qurʼān (1sted.). Lahore: al-Mawrid. ISBN 978-969-8799-57-1. Elephants are polygynous breeders, [112] and most copulations occur during rainfall. [113] An oestrus cow uses pheromones in her urine and vaginal secretions to signal her readiness to mate. A bull will follow a potential mate and assess her condition with the flehmen response, which requires him to collect a chemical sample with his trunk and taste it with the vomeronasal organ at the roof of the mouth. [114] The oestrous cycle of a cow lasts 14–16 weeks, with the follicular phase lasting 4–6 weeks and the luteal phase lasting 8–10 weeks. While most mammals have one surge of luteinizing hormone during the follicular phase, elephants have two. The first (or anovulatory) surge, appears to change the female's scent, signaling to males that she is in heat, but ovulation does not occur until the second (or ovulatory) surge. [115] Cows over 45–50 years of age are less fertile. [102] Thereupon Muhammad ibn Khuza'i got up and went to Abraha and said, "O King, this is a festival of ours in which we eat only the loins and shoulders." Abraha replied that he would send them what they liked, because his sole purpose in inviting them was to show that he honoured them. Saxe, John Godfrey (1872).

In addition to the novella and short stories, Year of the Elephant also includes a perceptive introduction by Elizabeth Fernea. She analyzes several facets of Abouzeid's work, particularly the importance of language as a source of identity, the meaning of the struggle for independence and the individual's place in that struggle, and the question of Abouzeid's feminism. Fernea also provides an historical context to the events of the novella and insight into Abouzeid's place within contemporary Moroccan fiction. Gray, R. (20 January 2008).

Upon such an outrageous act, Abraha who had long been waiting for a chance to destroy Ka'ba, prepared a great army with fourteen war elephants and started his military expedition toward Mecca.
