(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 And gives a little and (then) withholds. 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses- 36 and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust? 37 that no soul shall bear the burden of another; 38 and that man shall have only that for which he strives; 39 and that his work is surely seen 40 and in the end he will be repaid for it in full; 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 from a discharged living germ 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace [of them,] 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt. 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Do ye then wonder at this recital? 59 And laugh and not weep, 60 And you are lost in play! 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
