89.1 . By the Dawn
89.2 . And ten nights ,
89.3 . And the Even and the Odd ,
89.4 . And the night when it departeth
89.5 . There surely is an oath for thinking man .
89.6 . Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with ( the tribe of ) Aad ,
89.7 . With many columned Iram ,
89.8 . The like of which was not created in the lands ;
89.9 . And with ( the tribe of ) Thamud , who clove the rocks in the valley ;
89.10 . And with Pharaoh , firm of right ,
89.11 . Who ( all ) were rebellious ( to Allah ) these lands ,
89.12 . And multiplied inquiry therein?
89.13 . Therefor thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment .
89.14 . Lo! thy Lord is ever .
89.15 . As for man , whenever his Lord trieth him by honoring him , and is gracious unto him , he saith : My Lord honoureth me .
89.16 . But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life , he saith : My Lord despiseth me .
89.17 . Nay , but ye ( for your part ) honor not the orphan
89.18 . And urge not on the feeding of the poor ,
89.19 . And ye devour heritages with devouring greed
89.20 . And love wealth with abounding love .
