Surah Al-Fil – The Elephant

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel

Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ

Alam yaj'al kai dahum fee tad leel

Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

Wa arsala 'alaihim tairan abaabeel

And He sent against them Flights of Birds,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ

Tar meehim bi hi jaaratim min sij jeel

Striking them with stones of baked clay.

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

Faja 'alahum ka'asfim m'akool

Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
