وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
(89:11) who transgressed in the countries of the world
فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ

(89:16) But when He tests him by straitening his sustenance, he says: “My
Lord has humiliated me.”9
Lord has humiliated me.”9
