Have you then seen him who turns his back? 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 34 Is with him knowledge of the unseen so that he seeth? 35 Has not he been informed of the contents of the Book of Moses 36 and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust? 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 That man can have nothing but what he strives for; 39 and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen, 40 Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward- 41 that all things in the end shall return to God; 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 And He who ordains death and life; 44 And that He creates the two mates - the male and female - 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 and that it is for Him to grant the second life, 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 It is He who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So there covered them that which covered. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The near event draws nigh. 57 No one besides God can rescue a soul from hardship. 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 Wasting your time in vanities? 61 So prostrate yourselves before God and worship him. ۩ 62
