سورة الفيل

1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel

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

2

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ

Alam yaj'al kai dahum fee tad leel

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

3

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

Wa arsala 'alaihim tairan abaabeel

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

4

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ

Tar meehim bi hi jaaratim min sij jeel

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

5

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

Faja 'alahum ka'asfim m'akool

And He made them like eaten straw.
