Have you then seen him who turns his back? 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 34 Has he knowledge of the unseen, so that he sees? 35 Or has he not been told of what is in the scrolls of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allah ordered him to do or convey), 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 and that a man shall have to his account only as he has laboured, 39 And that his effort will soon be scrutinised? 40 Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 that it is He who gives wealth and possessions; 48 And that it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 That it was He who destroyed the 'Ad of old, 50 And that Thamud! He left not. 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 And He brought perdition upon the subverted cities 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 About which, then, of thy Sustainer's powers canst thou [still] remain in doubt? 55 This is a Warner, of the (series of) Warners of old! 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 apart from God none can disclose it. 58 At this discourse then marvel ye? 59 And you laugh and do not weep 60 And you are lost in play! 61 Prostrate yourselves before Allah, and serve Him. ۩ 62
