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 ?
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
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 ?
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
وأرسل عليهم طيرا أبابيل
And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
ترميهم بحجارة من سجيل
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
فجعلهم كعصف مأكول
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
