The Elephant
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
١ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
1 Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the People of the Elephant?
٢ أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
2 Did He not make their plan go wrong?
٣ وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
3 He sent against them swarms of birds.
٤ تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
4 Throwing at them rocks of baked clay.
٥ فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ
5 Leaving them like chewed-up leaves.
