بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ۝١ أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ۝٢ وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ۝٣ تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ۝٤ فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ۝٥

English translation

1Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the People of the Elephant?

2Did He not make their plan go wrong?

3He sent against them swarms of birds.

4Throwing at them rocks of baked clay.

5Leaving them like chewed-up leaves.
