Have you seen him who turns his back, 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 Has he knowledge of the unseen, so that he sees? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 That no soul laden bears the load of another, 38 That a man receives but only that for which he strives; 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 And He who ordains death and life; 44 And that it is He Who has created the two pairs, male and female? 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 And that upon Him (Allah) is another bringing forth (Resurrection); 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius, 49 And that it is He (Allah) Who destroyed the former 'Ad (people), 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace of them, 51 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious; 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? 55 This is a Warner, of the (series of) Warners of old! 56 The approaching event has come near. 57 There is no one to unveil it apart from God. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 and do they laugh instead of weeping, 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]. ۩ 62
