Have you then seen him who turns his back? 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Or is he not informed with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Musa (Moses), 36 And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius 49 And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), 50 Thamud, 51 and before them the nation of Noah, they exceeded in evil and were insolent. 52 He plunged the villages 53 so that there came upon them that which came. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 This is a warning among the warnings of yore. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 No one besides God can rescue a soul from hardship. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 And do you laugh instead of weeping, 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 But fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)! ۩ 62
