Observedest thou him who turned away? 33 and gives a little, and then grudgingly? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, 39 and that his labouring shall surely be seen, 40 Thereafter he shall be recompensed therefor with the fullest recompense. 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 and that He Himself created the two kinds, male and female, 45 From a drop of semen when emitted; 46 And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time; 47 and that it is He who gives wealth and riches, 48 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So there covered them that which covered. 54 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute? 55 This is a (Prophet) like that of the ancient warners (Prophets). 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Will you, then, wonder at this? 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 while you are thoughtless? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
