Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 Does he [claim to] have knowledge of something that is beyond the reach of human perception, so that he can see [it clearly]? 35 Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 and that man shall have only that for which he strives; 39 and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen, 40 Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense 41 and that the final end is with your Lord, 42 and that it is He who makes to laugh, and that makes to weep, 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 And that He created pairs, the male and the female 45 from a discharged living germ 46 And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth; 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 And before them, the people of Nooh? Indeed they were more unjust and more rebellious than these! 52 And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 There is no one to unveil it apart from God. 58 Will you, then, wonder at this? 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 So prostrate yourselves before God and worship him. ۩ 62
