Al-Fil الفيل

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim a-lam tara kayfa fa'ala rabbaka bi-ashab al-fil

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

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ

alam yaj'al kaydahum fi tadlil

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

wa-arsala 'alayhim tayran ababil

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

tarmihim bihijaratin min sijjil

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ

fa-ja'alahum ka-'asfin ma'kul

And He made them like eaten straw.
