Seest thou one who turns back, 33 and grudgingly spends very little for the cause of God? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Has not he been informed of the contents of the Book of Moses 36 And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- 37 That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another. 38 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, 39 And that his effort will be seen. 40 Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward- 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep, 43 And He who ordains death and life; 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 From seed when it is emitted. 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 and that it is He who gives wealth and riches, 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius; 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 And He overthrew the Cities of the Plain, 53 So they were covered with whatever covered them? 54 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? 55 This is a warner, of the warners of old. 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 [although] none but God can unveil it.... 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 Prostrate yourselves before God, and worship Him alone! ۩ 62
