Eid al-Adha, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice," is observed on the tenth day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah.

The individual who attempted to destroy the Ka'abah was Abrahah. Abrahah was a Christian ruler of Yemen during the 6th century who wanted to make his cathedral in Yemen the main place of pilgrimage.

Abrahah led a military expedition, which included elephants, to Mecca with the intent of demolishing the Ka'abah. This historical event is famously known as the "Year of the Elephant." According to Islamic tradition, Allah sent a flock of birds carrying small stones to attack Abrahah's army, ultimately thwarting their plans and protecting the Ka'abah.
This event is mentioned in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Fil (Chapter of the Elephant), highlighting its significance in Islamic history. The defeat of Abrahah's army is considered a miraculous protection of the Ka'abah and serves as a demonstration of divine intervention.

Answer Details
The compilation of the Qur'an into a single book took place during the time of Caliph Abu Bakr, following the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This effort was initiated **on the advice of Umar ibn Khattab**. After the Battle of Yamama, where many companions who had memorized the Qur'an were killed, Umar approached Abu Bakr, expressing his concern that the Qur'an might be lost. He suggested that it should be compiled into a single written volume to ensure its preservation.
Initially, Abu Bakr was hesitant, as the Prophet had not undertaken such a task during his lifetime. However, after careful consideration and persuasion by Umar, he agreed to the proposal for the safety and preservation of the Qur'an. Abu Bakr then appointed Zayd ibn Thabit, a trusted scribe of the Prophet, to undertake the task of gathering and compiling the Qur'an from various written fragments and the memories of those who had memorized it.
This initial compilation was kept with Abu Bakr, and later with his successor, Caliph Umar, and was eventually entrusted to Hafsa, the daughter of Umar. This effort laid the foundation for the preservation of the Qur'an as we know it today.

Answer Details
A person who worships other beings is called an Idolater.
The term "Idolater" is derived from the word "idolatry," which refers to the practice of worshiping idols or other beings apart from a central, often monotheistic, deity. In many religious contexts, this means showing reverence to deities or objects that are considered false or secondary to a supreme being. It reflects the act of giving undue importance to physical representations or other divine figures, rather than adhering to the belief in a single, ultimate deity.
This concept is important in various religions, where the act of worship should be directed toward one main god, and worshipping other entities is seen as a deviation from this practice.
