﷽
1 أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ
Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephants?
2 أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not make their stratagems go awry,
3 وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
and send against them flocks of birds
4 تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
pelting them with stones of shale,
5 فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ
thus making them like chewed-up straw?
