HAST THOU, then, ever considered him who turns away [from remembering Us, and cares for no more than the life of this world,] 33 and gives a little, and then grudgingly? 34 Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 and Abraham, he who paid his debt in full? 37 That no laden one shall bear another's load, 38 and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for, 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Thereafter he shall be recompensed therefor with the fullest recompense. 41 That to thy Lord is the final Goal; 42 And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 And that He created pairs, the male and the female 45 From a seed when lodged (in its place); 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 That it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction; 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius; 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 and Thamood, sparing no one, 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 And He brought perdition upon the subverted cities 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 None but God can avert it. 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 and do you laugh, and do you not weep, 60 And you are lost in play! 61 So prostrate yourselves before Allah and worship. ۩ 62
