(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 And gave a little, then stopped (giving)? 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 Abraham, who to his trust was true: 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- 39 and that in time [the nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light,] 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 And that to your Lord is the finality 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 From seed when it is emitted. 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 that it is He who gives wealth and possessions; 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 and He overthrew the subverted cities [of Sodom and Gomorrah] 53 So there covered them that which covered. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 There shall be none besides Allah to remove it. 58 Do you then wonder at this announcement? 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 Will you occupy yourselves simply in merriment? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
