Seest thou one who turns back, 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 and Abraham, who paid his debt in full? 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39 And that his effort is going to be seen - 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best 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 causes death and gives life 44 And that He creates the two mates - the male and female - 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 And that only upon Him is the next revival? 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 and that He it is Who destroyed the people of Noah before for they were much given to iniquity and transgression. 52 He plunged the villages 53 So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones). 54 So O listener! Which favour of your Lord will you doubt? 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 The Imminent is imminent; 57 There shall be none besides Allah to remove it. 58 Will you, then, wonder at this? 59 And keep laughing and do not weep, 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him. ۩ 62
