Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Chapter 105, 5 verses
Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
And He sent against them birds in flocks,
Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
And He made them like eaten straw.
FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ
