How did the birds carry the stones? One in each claw? Were they huge birds? Because stones are quite heavy and small birds cannot fly with too much weight.
How did they throw them so hard so as to kill a human being below? Birds do not have the muscles to throw? And stones would not kill?
The birds must have been very good marksmen because if not it would have taken thousands and thousands of birds - constantly reloading with more stones and taken a very, very long time.
Even the largest birds in the world cannot drop stones large enough to turn people into a substance that resembles chewed grass (as it says in the Quran) - let's be realistic
The kind of the bird wasn't mentioned, but it isn't impossible to do so.
For example, eagle devour turtle by carrying it and throwing it from large distances to crash it's shell (although turtles shell is very hard)....I think that something like this great impulsive force is enough to kill (or at least to harm) a man.
Also why didn't Allah protect his house later when it was attacked, destroyed and rebuilt in Islamic history.
If Allah protected the Ka'ba when Abraha attacked it, why didn't he when Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf did, or the Qarmatians, or the Grand Mosque Seizure?
And I'm sure there are other incidents I am unaware of.
Where was Allah to protect the Ka'ba these times as he did before?
All those attacks were happened ONLY by Muslims, or who belongs to Islam, not by others, and that was predicted:
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet peace be upon him said 'pay allegiance to a man between the corner and place, and will not be break the sanctity of this house except his family, if Asthloh do not ask for fatalism Arabs, and then come Abyssinia Vtakrabh havoc not survive after all, they who extracting treasure
[Narrated to Imam Ahmad]
It's an old arab fairy tale that Muhammad put in the Quran simple as.
But it wasn't such old, it was about between 40 and 50 years, and it was described in Nafil Ibn Habib verse (he was one of the Arab leader who tried to defend The Ka'ba against Abraha), the Quran had mebtioned it in front of many witnesses who were alive.
If I claimed that a specific great event happened in 1960's, how many witnesses of the old generations who live at that time will verify my claim?
