Surah “The Elephant”

as rendered by Dr. Kamal Omar — 5 verses

Have you not noticed how your Nourisher-Sustainer dealt with the elephant-corps (the military contingent whose commander was on an elephant)
Did He not make their planning go in disarray
And directed towards them birds, in formation
(The birds) shoot them with stones out of sijjil [fully recorded (stock)]
So (Allah) transformed them (into something) like fodder subjected to rumination
