Al-Fil

The Elephant

الفيل

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ

Did He not make their plan into misguidance

أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ

And He sent against them birds in flocks

وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ

Striking them with stones of hard clay

تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ

And He made them like eaten straw

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ
