Surah “The Elephant”

as rendered by Muhammad Asad — 5 verses

ART THOU NOT aware of how thy Sustainer dealt with the Army of the Elephant
Did He not utterly confound their artful planning
Thus, He let loose upon them great swarms of flying creature
which smote them with stone-hard blows of chastisement pre-ordained
and caused them to become like a field of grain that has been eaten down to stubble
