The Elephant
الفيل
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ ١
Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ ٢
Did He not frustrate their scheme
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣
For He sent against them flocks of birds
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٤
that pelted them with stones of baked clay
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولِۭ ٥
leaving them like chewed up straw
