Surah 105 Al-Fil [The Elephant]

105 Al-Fil

1 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
2 Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
3 Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
4 Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
5 FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin



The Elephant

1 Have you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) 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].
2 Did He not make their plot go astray?
3 And He sent against them birds, in flocks,
4 Striking them with stones of Sijjil (baked clay).
5 And He made them like (an empty field of) stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
