Al-Fil recalls the defeat of the army that came against the Ka'bah, presenting the event as a sign of God's protection.
Read Surah Al-Fil (5 verses) as a connected chapter: follow links between neighbouring verses and compare each passage with the wider Qur’anic context. The Arabic text and English and Urdu translations are rendered on this page before any commentary service loads. Use the source selector to compare available classical tafsir traditions; the Al-Mizan study guide is clearly marked as editorial notes, not a verbatim translation. If a remote commentary service is unavailable, the chapter text, translations, study introduction, and navigation remain available.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ
ART THOU NOT aware of how thy Sustainer dealt with the Army of the Elephant?
کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ تمہارے پروردگار نے ہاتھی والوں کے ساتھ کیا کیا
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ
Did He not utterly confound their artful planning?
کیا ان کا داؤں غلط نہیں کیا؟ (گیا)
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
Thus, He let loose upon them great swarms of flying creatures
اور ان پر جھلڑ کے جھلڑ جانور بھیجے
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ
which smote them with stone-hard blows of chastisement pre-ordained,
جو ان پر کھنگر کی پتھریاں پھینکتے تھے
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ
and caused them to become like a field of grain that has been eaten down to stubble
تو ان کو ایسا کر دیا جیسے کھایا ہوا بھس
