Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 and grudgingly spends very little for the cause of God? 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 And that man will not obtain anything except what he strove for? 39 And that his deeds will be seen, 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 And that to your Lord is the goal- 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, 45 from a drop of sperm when it was emitted, 46 And that upon Him is another bringing forth. 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 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 He destroyed the overthrown cities [of Sodom to which Prophet Lout (Lot) was sent]. 53 and covered them with torment. 54 How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 None, except Allah, can avert it. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 And you laugh and do not weep 60 while you make merry? 61 [Nay,] but prostrate yourselves before God, and worship [Him alone]! ۩ 62
