Al-Fil

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

أَلَمْ تَرَ کَیْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّکَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ الْفِیلِ(1)

Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?(1)

أَلَمْ یَجْعَلْ کَیْدَهُمْ فِی تَضْلِیلٍ(2)

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?(2)

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَیْهِمْ طَیْرًا أَبَابِیلَ(3)

And He sent against them birds in flocks,(3)

تَرْمِیهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّیلٍ(4)

Striking them with stones of hard clay (4)

فَجَعَلَهُمْ کَعَصْفٍ مَّأْکُولٍۭ(5)

And He made them like eaten straw
