105. Sūrat Al-Fil · The Elephant

Have you not seen ˹O Prophet˺ how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?

ART THOU NOT aware of how thy Sustainer dealt with the Army of the Elephant?

'O beloved! Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the men of the Elephant?

Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with those who had elephants

Did He not frustrate their scheme?

Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

Did He not utterly confound their artful planning?

Did He not cause their device to be ruined.

Did He not thwart their crafty designs

For He sent against them flocks of birds,

And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

Thus, He let loose upon them great swarms of flying creatures

And He sent against them flocks of birds.

And He sent on to them (ambient) swarms of birds

that pelted them with stones of baked clay,

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

which smote them with stone-hard blows of chastisement pre-ordained,

Striking them against stones of baked clay.

Which pelted them with stone-hard slugs

leaving them like chewed up straw.

And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)?

and caused them to become like a field of grain that has been eaten down to stubble

And thus made them like broken straw eaten up.

Then (Allah made them perish) like chewed-up chaff
