Hast thou considered him who turns his back 33 And he gave a little, then refrained? 34 Is with him knowledge of the unseen so that he seeth? 35 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses- 36 And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for; 39 and that his work is surely seen 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 and that the final end is with your Lord, 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 And that it is He who causes death and gives life 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 from a discharged living germ 46 And that only upon Him is the next revival? 47 and that it is He who gives wealth and riches, 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius; 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 and Thamood, and He did not spare them, 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones). 54 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? 55 He who warns you is one of the warners of old. 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 None except Allah can avert it. 58 At this discourse then marvel ye? 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 Will you remain proudly heedless? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
