Surah “The Elephant”

as rendered by Syed Vickar Ahamed — 5 verses

Did you not see how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant
Did He not make their evil plan go astray
And He sent against them flights of birds
Striking them (the companions of the elephant) with stones of baked clay
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up
