بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allāh, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ﴿١﴾

Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephants?(1)

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ﴿٢﴾

Did He not make their stratagems go awry,(2)

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ﴿٣﴾

and send against them flocks of birds(3)

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ﴿٤﴾

pelting them with stones of shale,(4)

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ﴿٥﴾

thus making them like chewed-up straw?(5)
