Seest thou one who turns back, 33 and gives a little, grudgingly? 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 Abraham who fulfilled his trust? -- 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 nor can man achieve anything without hard labor. 39 And that his endeavour shall be presently observed. 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep 43 that it is He who causes death and gives life; 44 and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, 45 from an ejected drop of sperm; 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 That it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction; 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And Samood, so He spared not 51 And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing. 52 It is He who turned upside down the people of Lot 53 So they were covered with whatever covered them? 54 Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt. 55 He (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) is a Herald of Warning, like the former Heralds of Warning. 56 that [Last Hour] which is so near draws ever nearer, 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Marvel ye then at this statement, 59 and do they laugh instead of weeping, 60 And you are lost in play! 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
