Surah Al-Fil

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ ۝١

Alam tara kayfa fa`ala rabbuka bi'ashaabil-feel

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

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ ۝٢

Alam yaj`al kaydahum fee tadleel

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ۝٣

Wa'arsala `alayhim tayran abaabeel

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ۝٤

Tarmeehim bihijaaratim min sijjeel

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ ۝٥

Faja`alahum ka`asfim ma'kool

And He made them like eaten straw.
