Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 And gave little, and then stopped? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Hath he not been told of that which is in the writs of Musa. 36 And (of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments): 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for, 39 And that his effort will be seen. 40 Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward- 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 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 it is He who creates the two kinds - the male and the female 45 from an ejected drop of sperm; 46 and that it is for Him to grant the second life, 47 That it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction; 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius. 49 and that it is He who destroyed the ancient [tribes of] Ad 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 and that He it is Who destroyed the people of Noah before for they were much given to iniquity and transgression. 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 so that there came upon them that which came. 54 On which then of your Lord's signs do you cast doubt? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The imminent Hour has drawn near, 57 None but God can avert it. 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 And keep laughing and do not weep, 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
