Surah Al-Fil الفيل

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ١

Alam tara kayfa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashābil-fīl

Have you not considered, [O Muḥammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?¹⁹⁹²

أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ٢

Alam yaj'al kaydahum fī tadlīl

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?¹⁹⁹³

وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣

Wa arsala 'alayhim tayran abābīl

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ٤

Tarmīhim bihijāratim min sijjīl

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ٥

Faja'alahum ka'asfim ma'kūl

And He made them like eaten straw.¹⁹⁹⁴
