Surah Al-Fil - English Translation

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَیۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡفِیلِ

Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?

أَلَمۡ یَجۡعَلۡ كَیۡدَهُمۡ فِی تَضۡلِیلࣲ

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ طَیۡرًا أَبَابِیلَ

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرۡمِیهِم بِحِجَارَةࣲ مِّن سِجِّیلࣲ

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفࣲ مَّأۡكُولِۭ

And He made them like eaten straw.
