So did you observe him who turned away? 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Is with him the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees? 35 Or has he never yet been told of what was [said] in the revelations of Moses, 36 And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] - 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for, 39 and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen, 40 And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; 44 And that He creates the two mates - the male and female - 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time; 47 And that it is He Who enricheth and preserveth property. 48 and that it is He alone who sustains the brightest star; 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 and Thamood, sparing no one, 51 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious; 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 and covered them with torment. 54 How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 None beside Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 And you are lost in play! 61 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]. ۩ 62
