Have you seen him who turns his back, 33 and gives a little, grudgingly? 34 Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything? 35 Has he not heard what is contained in the Book of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 That a man receives but only that for which he strives; 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 And that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep; 43 And He who ordains death and life; 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 From a seed when lodged (in its place); 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 And that it is He who enriches and suffices 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 It is He who utterly destroyed the ancient tribes of Ad, 50 and Thamood, sparing no one, 51 And the people of Nuh (Noah) aforetime, verily, they were more unjust and more rebellious and transgressing [in disobeying Allah and His Messenger Nuh (Noah)]. 52 And the overthrown cities did He overthrow, 53 So that there covered them that which did cover. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The near event draws nigh. 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 And you laugh and do not weep 60 While you are proudly sporting? 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
