Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Or has he never yet been told of what was [said] in the revelations of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 Certainly no one will bear the responsibility of the sins of another, 38 and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for, 39 and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen, 40 then, he shall be recompensed for it in full repayment 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 That it is He Who granteth Death and Life; 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 From a drop of semen when emitted; 46 And that upon Him is another bringing forth. 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 And Samood, so He spared not 51 and the people of Noah; they were the most unjust and rebellious people. 52 And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 So that there covered them that which did cover. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 He who warns you is one of the warners of old. 56 The Day of Judgment is drawing nearer. 57 none except Allah can disclose it. 58 Do ye then wonder at this recital? 59 And keep laughing and do not weep, 60 While you are proudly sporting? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
