Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 Does he [claim to] have knowledge of something that is beyond the reach of human perception, so that he can see [it clearly]? 35 Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses 36 And with Abraham who kept his word: 37 That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another- 38 and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for, 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 that all things in the end shall return to God; 42 that it is He who causes to laugh and causes to weep. 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 and that upon Him rests the second growth, 47 and that it is He who gives wealth and riches, 48 and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius, 49 that it was He that destroyed ancient Aad 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace of them, 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 and He overthrew the subverted cities [of Sodom and Gomorrah] 53 Then covered them with that which covered them. 54 On which then of your Lord's signs do you cast doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 that [Last Hour] which is so near draws ever nearer, 57 none except Allah can disclose it. 58 Then at this statement do you wonder? 59 and do you laugh, and do you not weep, 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
