The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali)/105. The Elephant

105. The Elephant (Al-Fil)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the possessors of the elephant? 

Did He not cause their war to end in confusion? 

And send against them birds in flocks? 

Casting at them decreed stones -- 

So He rendered them like straw eaten up?
