So did you observe him who turned away? 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Or has he not been told of what is in the scrolls of Moses, 36 And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- 37 Certainly no one will bear the responsibility of the sins of another, 38 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- 39 and that his labouring shall surely be seen, 40 whereupon he shall be requited for it with the fullest requital; 41 And that thy Lord, He is the goal; 42 That it is He who makes you happy and morose, 43 And that it is He who causes death and gives life 44 And that He created pairs, the male and the female 45 out of a [mere] drop of sperm as it is poured forth, 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 That it is He who makes you rich and contented; 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 And that it is He (Allah) Who destroyed the former 'Ad (people), 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace of them, 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown 53 and caused them to be covered with that which He covered them with. 54 So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 And do you laugh instead of weeping, 60 and divert yourselves all the while? 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
