Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions 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
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بأصحاب الفيل
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
ألم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
وأرسل عليهم طيرا أبابيل
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
ترميهم بحجارة من سجيل
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin
فجعلهم كعصف مأكول
