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

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?

1 Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?

2 Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

2 Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

2 Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?

3 And He sent against them birds in flocks,

3 And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

3 And He sent against them Flights of Birds,

4 Striking them with stones of hard clay,

4 Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

4 Striking them with stones of baked clay.

5 And He made them like eaten straw.

5 And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?

5 Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
