HAST THOU, then, ever considered him who turns away [from remembering Us, and cares for no more than the life of this world,] 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 34 Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything? 35 Did not the news reach him, of that which is mentioned in the Books of Moosa? 36 And (of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments): 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for; 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 and in the end he will be repaid for it in full; 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 And that it is He Who causeth to laugh and causeth to weep. 43 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 out of a [mere] drop of sperm as it is poured forth, 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 It is He who grants people temporary and durable wealth. 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And Thamud - and He did not spare [them] - 51 and that He it is Who destroyed the people of Noah before for they were much given to iniquity and transgression. 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 So, which of your Lord's bounties will you doubt?” 55 This is a warner, of the warners of old. 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 None beside Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you then wonder at this recital (the Quran)? 59 And do you laugh instead of weeping, 60 Will you remain proudly heedless? 61 So bow yourselves before God, and serve Him! ۩ 62
