The Elephant

105:1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant

105:2

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ

Did He not bring their stratagem to naught

105:3

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

And send against them swarms of flying creatures

105:4

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay

105:5

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)
