بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ١
Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the people of the Elephant[1]?
[1] The army of Abrahah al-Ashram was accompanied by a huge elephant who came with the intention of demolishing the Kaʿba.
أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ٢
Did He not turn their scheme into a total loss[2]?
[2] Leading them to perish.
وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣
He sent against them swarms of birds,
تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ٤
pelting them with stones of baked clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ٥
leaving them like chewed-up chaff.
