Seest thou one who turns back, 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses- 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 And that for man shall be naught save that wherefor he endeavoureth. 39 That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight: 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 And that it is He Who made (you) laugh and made (you) cry? 43 And that He it is Who causes death and gives 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 it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction; 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 So that they were covered over by what they were covered over. 54 So O listener! Which favour of your Lord will you doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 There shall be none besides Allah to remove it. 58 Then at this statement do you wonder? 59 Or do you laugh, and do you not weep 60 while you make merry? 61 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]. ۩ 62
