Surah “The Elephant”

as rendered by Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) — 5 verses

Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray
And He sent against them Flights of Birds
Striking them 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
