Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see? 35 Has he not been made acquainted with what was written in the scriptures of Moses? 36 and about Abraham who fulfilled his duty (to God)? 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 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 and that it is He who makes to laugh, and that makes to weep, 43 that it is He who causes death and gives life; 44 And that He creates the two mates - the male and female - 45 From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 And that it is He Who enricheth and preserveth property. 48 and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius, 49 and that it is He who destroyed the ancient [tribes of] Ad 50 and Thamood, and He did not spare them, 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 so that there came upon them that which came. 54 Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt. 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 None besides Allah can avert it, (or advance it, or delay it). 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 And will you laugh and not weep? 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
