(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Does he have knowledge of the hidden, so he can foresee? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust? 37 That no laden one shall bear another's load, 38 And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39 and that his work is surely seen 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 That it is He Who granteth Death and Life; 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 From seed when it is emitted. 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 and that it is He alone who frees from want and causes to possess; 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So that they were covered over by what they were covered over. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This is a warner from the warners of ancient times. 56 The Hour that was to come draws ever nearer. 57 [although] none but God can unveil it.... 58 Marvel ye then at this statement, 59 And will ye laugh and not weep,- 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
