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
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
Chapter 105, 5 verses
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
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل
And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
وأرسل عليهم طيرا أبابيل
Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
ترميهم بحجارة من سجيل
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin
فجعلهم كعصف مأكول
