Have you then seen him who turns his back? 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Moses 36 and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust? 37 Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another; 38 And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad). 39 That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight: 40 whereupon he shall be requited for it with the fullest requital; 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 and that it is He alone who frees from want and causes to possess; 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 that it was He that destroyed ancient Aad 50 and Thamood, and He did not spare them, 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown 53 So that there covered them that which did cover. 54 Then which of thy Lord's bounties disputest thou? 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 The Imminent is imminent; 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Then at this statement do you wonder? 59 And laugh and not weep? 60 Will you occupy yourselves simply in merriment? 61 So fall you down in prostration to Allah, and worship Him (Alone). ۩ 62
