Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 And gave a little and [then] refrained? 34 Is with him knowledge of the unseen so that he seeth? 35 Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Moses 36 And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] - 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for, 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep 43 And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life; 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 out of a [mere] drop of sperm as it is poured forth, 46 and that upon Him rests the second growth, 47 It is He who grants people temporary and durable wealth. 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 as well as the people of Noah before them - [since,] verily, they all had been most willful in their evildoing and most overweening 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 So that they were covered over by what they were covered over. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 This is a Warner, of the (series of) Warners of old! 56 The Hour that was to come draws ever nearer. 57 None except Allah can avert it. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 And laugh and not weep? 60 indulging in carelessly idle games? 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
