Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Quran Translated into the English Language By Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali, Ph. D. & Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan
 
Surah Al-Feel
 
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
  1   Have you ( O Muhammad ) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant? [ The elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka'bah at Makkah ].
  2   Did He not make their plot go astray?
  3   And sent against them birds, in flocks,
  4   Striking them with stones of Sijjîl.
  5   And made them like an empty field of stalks ( of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle ).
