Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 And gives a little and (then) withholds. 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Or has he not been told of what is in the scrolls of Moses, 36 And with Abraham who kept his word: 37 that no soul shall bear the burden of another; 38 That a man receives but only that for which he strives; 39 And that his effort will soon be scrutinised? 40 Thereafter he shall be recompensed therefor with the fullest recompense. 41 That to thy Lord is the final Goal; 42 And that it is He Who made (you) laugh and made (you) cry? 43 that it is He who causes death and gives life; 44 And that He created pairs, the male and the female 45 From a seed when lodged (in its place); 46 And that only upon Him is the next revival? 47 And that it is He Who enricheth and preserveth property. 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 that it was He that destroyed ancient Aad 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 So they were covered with whatever covered them? 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 He (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) is a Herald of Warning, like the former Heralds of Warning. 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 At this discourse then marvel ye? 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 And you are lost in play! 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
