Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 and gives so little [of himself for the good of his soul,] and so grudgingly? 34 Does he [claim to] have knowledge of something that is beyond the reach of human perception, so that he can see [it clearly]? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 that no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another's burden; 38 and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for, 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense 41 And that thy Lord, He is the goal; 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 that it is He who causes death and gives life; 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 From the small seed when it is adapted 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold; 48 and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius, 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 Thamud, 51 Like the people of Noah before them, who were surely oppressors and rebellious; 52 And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed 53 So that they were covered over by what they were covered over. 54 On which then of your Lord's signs do you cast doubt? 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The Hour that was to come draws ever nearer. 57 Of it, [from those] besides Allah, there is no remover. 58 Marvel ye then at this statement, 59 and do they laugh instead of weeping, 60 while you make merry? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
