Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 And gives a little and (then) withholds. 34 Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees? 35 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books 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 there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39 and that his labouring shall surely be seen, 40 and in the end he will be repaid for it in full; 41 And that to your Lord is the finality 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 And that it is He who causes death and gives life 44 And that He created pairs, the male and the female 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth; 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty Star); 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 And Samood, so He spared not 51 And before them, the people of Nooh? Indeed they were more unjust and more rebellious than these! 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 and covered them with torment. 54 So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute? 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The Hour that was to come draws ever nearer. 57 No one besides God can rescue a soul from hardship. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 And you laugh and do not weep 60 While ye amuse yourselves? 61 But fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)! ۩ 62
