Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 And gave a little and [then] refrained? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] - 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 work is surely seen 40 then he shall be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense, 41 That to thy Lord is the final Goal; 42 that it is He who causes to laugh and causes to weep. 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 It is He who has created spouses, male and female, 45 From a seed when lodged (in its place); 46 And that only upon Him is the next revival? 47 and that it is He who gives wealth and riches, 48 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; 49 That it was He who destroyed the 'Ad of old, 50 And Thamud - and He did not spare [them] - 51 and that He it is Who destroyed the people of Noah before for they were much given to iniquity and transgression. 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 None except Allah can avert it. 58 Do ye then wonder at this recital? 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 And you are lost in play! 61 So prostrate yourselves before God and worship him. ۩ 62
