What Quran Says About Seest Thou Not How Thy Lord Dealt?
(Alam Tara Kayfa Faaaala Rabbuka)
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant? [105:1] Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray? [105:2] And He sent against them Flights of Birds, [105:3] Striking them with stones of baked clay. [105:4] Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up. [105:5]
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),- [89:6] Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars, [89:7] The like of which were not produced in (all) the land? [89:8] And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?- [89:9] And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes? [89:10] (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands, [89:11] And heaped therein mischief (on mischief). [89:12] Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements: [89:13] For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower. [89:14] Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me." [89:15] But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!" [89:16] Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans! [89:17] Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!- [89:18] And ye devour inheritance - all with greed, [89:19] And ye love wealth with inordinate love! [89:20]
