| بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
| In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |
| أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ |
01 |
| 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]. | |
| أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ |
02 |
| Did He not make their plot go astray? | |
| وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ |
03 |
| And sent against them birds, in flocks, | |
| تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ |
04 |
| Striking them with stones of Sijjîl. | |
| فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ |
05 |
| And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle). | |
