بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
Chapter 105, 5 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
وأرسل عليهم طيرا أبابيل
And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
ترميهم بحجارة من سجيل
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
فجعلهم كعصف مأكول
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin
