سورة الفيل

The Elephant5 آيات مكية

Translated by Abul Ala Maududi

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ

Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephants?

2

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ

Did He not bring their plan to naught?

3

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

And He sent against them swarms of birds

4

تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ

which smote them with stones of baked clay,

5

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ

and made them like straw eaten up (by cattle).
