Soora 37 in the book of the Quran, commences with an oath of threatening .. threatening disbelievers by the bird assailing them, like what happened when Abraha the Abyssinian intended to demolish the Kaaba at Mecca.. the Meccan at that time had no weapon or host: so they referred their situation to God Almighty.. Abraha had a mighty host and he mounted on an elephant .. so God set on the host of Abraha swarms of black ravens which assailed on them and destroyed them completely.

1. [I swear] by the [birds] flying in arrays.
[Then God – be glorified – started to describe some of the acts which those birds had done, and He said:]
2. And shouting loudly on [the disbelievers].
3. And rehearsing the glorification [of God in their languages.]
4. [That] your God is surely One.
5. [That is] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what between them are, and the Lord of the sun-rising [zones.])
The implication of this oath:
If you do not desist from worshiping the idols and do not worship your One God Who has no associate, We will send against you some of those birds which We had sent on the ‘Host of the Elephant’ and had destroyed them; so as such will We send them against you to destroy you, and you will then lose.
