So did you observe him who turned away? 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Hath he not been told of that which is in the writs of Musa. 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 And that for man shall be naught save that wherefor he endeavoureth. 39 And that his endeavour shall be presently observed. 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 And that it is He Who made (you) laugh and made (you) cry? 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 And that He creates the two mates - the male and female - 45 From the small seed when it is adapted 46 and that it is for Him to grant the second life, 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 That it was He who destroyed the 'Ad of old, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 Like the people of Noah before them, who were surely oppressors and rebellious; 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 And covered them by that which He covered. 54 Which of your Lord's benefits will you then dispute about? 55 This is a Warner, of the (series of) Warners of old! 56 The approaching event has come near. 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 and do they laugh instead of weeping, 60 Will you remain proudly heedless? 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
