Seest thou one who turns back, 33 and grudgingly spends very little for the cause of God? 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Or has he not been told of what is in the scrolls of Moses, 36 and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust? 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 That a man receives but only that for which he strives; 39 And that his effort will be seen. 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 and that He Himself created the two kinds, male and female, 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 and that upon Him rests the second growth, 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 He plunged the villages 53 and caused them to be covered with that which He covered them with. 54 How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? 55 This is a (Prophet) like that of the ancient warners (Prophets). 56 The Day of Judgment is drawing nearer. 57 None except Allah can avert it. 58 Will you, then, wonder at this? 59 and do they laugh instead of weeping, 60 while you are thoughtless? 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
