Al-Fil

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ١

Have you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant? [The elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka'bah at Makkah].

أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ٢

Did He not make their plot go astray?

وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣

And sent against them birds, in flocks,

تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ٤

Striking them with stones of Sijjil.

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ٥

And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
