Al-Fil · The Elephant

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ١

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli

Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant

أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ٢

Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin

Did He not make their plan into misguidance

وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣

Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela

And He sent against them birds in flocks

تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ٤

Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin

Striking them with stones of hard clay

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ٥

FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin

And He made them like eaten straw
