Seest thou one who turns back, 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Hath he not been told of that which is in the writs of Musa. 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 that no soul shall bear the burden of another; 38 That a man receives but only that for which he strives; 39 And that his deeds will be seen, 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 and that He it is Who causes death and grants life, 44 That He did create in pairs,- male and female, 45 of a sperm-drop, when it was cast forth, 46 and that upon Him is the second creation 47 And that it is He (Allah) Who gives much or a little (or gives wealth and contentment), 48 and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius, 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And Thamud - and He did not spare [them] - 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 So they were covered with whatever covered them? 54 About which of the bounties of your Lord can they persistently dispute? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 apart from God none can disclose it. 58 Do you marvel then at this discourse (the Koran)? 59 And laugh and not weep, 60 indulging in carelessly idle games? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
