Sorah Al-Fil ( The Elephant ) - Verses Number 5
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
( 1 )
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
( 2 )
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
( 3 )
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
( 4 )
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ
( 5 )
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
