Seest thou one who turns back, 33 And he gave a little, then refrained? 34 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 and of Abraham, who lived up to the trust? 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 That man can have nothing but what he strives for; 39 And that his effort will soon be scrutinised? 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 That to thy Lord is the final Goal; 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 It is He who has created spouses, male and female, 45 from a drop of sperm when it was emitted, 46 and that upon Him rests the second growth, 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius; 49 And that it is He (Allah) Who destroyed the former 'Ad (people), 50 And Thamud (people). He spared none 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 and covered them with torment. 54 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? 55 This is a warning among the warnings of yore. 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 None, except Allah, can avert it. 58 Marvel ye then at this statement, 59 Will you laugh at it rather than weep? 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 But fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)! ۩ 62
