Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 And gave a little and [then] refrained? 34 Is with him knowledge of the unseen so that he seeth? 35 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses- 36 And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 That man can have nothing but what he strives for; 39 and that in time [the nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light,] 40 And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 and that it is He alone who causes [you] to laugh and to weep; 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 It is He who has created spouses, male and female, 45 From Nutfah (drops of semen male and female discharges) when it is emitted; 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 It is He who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that He did destroy the Ad of old 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 as well as the people of Noah before them - [since,] verily, they all had been most willful in their evildoing and most overweening 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 So that there covered them that which did cover. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The Imminent is imminent; 57 None, except Allah, can avert it. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 while you make merry? 61 Prostrate yourselves before God, and worship Him alone! ۩ 62
