أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephant?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not foil their strategy
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
and send against them flocks of birds,
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
which pelted them with clay stones?
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ
Thus He made them like stubble cropped by cattle?
