Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 and grudgingly spends very little for the cause of God? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Has he not heard what is contained in the Book of Moses, 36 and Abraham, he who paid his debt in full? 37 That no soul laden bears the load of another, 38 And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39 and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen, 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 And that it is He Who made (you) laugh and made (you) cry? 43 and that it is He who causes to die, and causes to live 44 and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, 45 From a drop of semen when emitted; 46 and that upon Him is the second creation 47 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold; 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 50 And that Thamud! He left not. 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones). 54 On which then of your Lord's signs do you cast doubt? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 No one besides God can rescue a soul from hardship. 58 At this discourse then marvel ye? 59 And laugh and not weep? 60 while you make merry? 61 Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him. ۩ 62
