(Muhammad), have you ever seen the one who has turned away (from guidance), 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see? 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 And that man will not obtain anything except what he strove for? 39 And that his effort will soon be scrutinised? 40 Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; 46 and that upon Him rests the second growth, 47 and that it is He alone who frees from want and causes to possess; 48 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing. 52 And He overthrew the Cities of the Plain, 53 And covered them by that which He covered. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 none except Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you marvel then at this discourse (the Koran)? 59 And laugh and not weep? 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him. ۩ 62
