So did you observe him who turned away? 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore 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 nor can man achieve anything without hard labor. 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete; 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 And that it is He Who causeth to laugh and causeth to weep. 43 And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life; 44 And that it is He Who has created the two pairs, male and female? 45 from an ejected drop of sperm; 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace [of them,] 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 Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed 53 So that they were covered over by what they were covered over. 54 Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Then at this statement do you wonder? 59 Will you laugh at it rather than weep? 60 While ye amuse yourselves? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
