Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 And gave a little, then was grudging? 34 Is with him knowledge of the unseen so that he seeth? 35 Or has he never yet been told of what was [said] in the revelations of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 That no one who carries a burden bears another's load; 38 and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for; 39 He will certainly see the result of his labor 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep 43 and that it is He who makes to die, and that makes to live, 44 It is He who has created spouses, male and female, 45 from an ejected drop of sperm; 46 And that upon Him is another bringing forth. 47 That it is He who makes you rich and contented; 48 and that it is He alone who sustains the brightest star; 49 That it was He who destroyed the 'Ad of old, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious; 52 And He brought perdition upon the subverted cities 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 While ye amuse yourselves? 61 So fall you down in prostration to Allah, and worship Him (Alone). ۩ 62
