Al Fil

Yusuf Ali

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

Pickthall

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

Yusuf Ali

2 Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?

Pickthall

2 Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

Yusuf Ali

3 And He sent against them Flights of Birds,

Pickthall

3 And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

Yusuf Ali

4 Striking them with stones of baked clay.

Pickthall

4 Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

Yusuf Ali

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

Pickthall

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