105. Surah Al-Feel (The Elephant)

Al-Fil (Arabic: سورة الفيل‎, "The Elephant") is the 105th chapter (sura) of the Quran. It is a Meccan sura consisting of 5 verses. The year of Muhammad's birth is identified as 'the Year of the Elephant', when Mecca was attacked by Abraha accompanied by an elephant. Quranic exegetes interpreted that God saved the Meccans from this force by sending a swarm of birds that pelted the invaders with clay stones and drove them away. 

                                                

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 

1. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ? 

2. Did He not bring their stratagem to naught, 

3. And send against them swarms of flying creatures, 

4. Which pelted them with stones of baked clay, 

5. And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
