Seest thou one who turns back, 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 34 Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees? 35 Has he not heard what is contained in the Book of Moses, 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another. 38 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 that it is He who causes death and gives life; 44 It is He who has created spouses, male and female, 45 from a discharged living germ 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 Like the people of Noah before them, who were surely oppressors and rebellious; 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 that [Last Hour] which is so near draws ever nearer, 57 none except Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 Or do you laugh, and do you not weep 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 Prostrate yourselves before Allah, and serve Him. ۩ 62
