Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 And gave a little, then was grudging? 34 Is with him the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees? 35 Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another- 38 and that a man shall have to his account only as he has laboured, 39 and that in time [the nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light,] 40 then he shall be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense, 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 And that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep; 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 From a seed when lodged (in its place); 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 It is He who grants people temporary and durable wealth. 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 And the Thamud nor gave them a lease of perpetual life. 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones). 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This is a warning among the warnings of yore. 56 What is to come is imminent. 57 None, except Allah, can avert it. 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 So prostrate yourselves before God and worship him. ۩ 62
