بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
اَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِاَصْحٰبِ الْفِيْلِؕ(1)
(1) Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the possessors of the elephant?
اَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِىْ تَضْلِيْلٍۙ(2)
(2) Did He not cause their war to end in confusion,
وَّاَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا اَبَابِيْلَۙ(3)
(3) And send down (to prey) upon them birds in flocks,
تَرْمِيْهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّنْ سِجِّيْلٍۙ(4)
(4) Casting against them stones of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّاْكُوْلٍ(5)
(5) So He rendered them like straw eaten up?
