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?
سورة الفيل
The Elephant • 5 versets • Mecquoise
Translated by Abul Ala Maududi
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
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?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not bring their plan to naught?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
And He sent against them swarms of birds
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
which smote them with stones of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ
and made them like straw eaten up (by cattle).
