بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?
Chapter 105, 5 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?
ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
وأرسل عليهم طيرا أبابيل
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
ترميهم بحجارة من سجيل
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
فجعلهم كعصف مأكول
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
