Observedest thou him who turned away? 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything? 35 Hath he not been told of that which is in the writs of Musa. 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 That no laden one shall bear another's load, 38 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 and in the end he will be repaid for it in full; 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life; 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; 46 And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time; 47 And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth; 48 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And that Thamud! He left not. 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 and He overthrew the subverted cities [of Sodom and Gomorrah] 53 So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones). 54 So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute? 55 This is a warner from the warners of ancient times. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 [although] none but God can unveil it.... 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 And laugh and not weep, 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]. ۩ 62
