(Muhammad), have you ever seen the one who has turned away (from guidance), 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Does he have knowledge of the hidden, so he can foresee? 35 Or, has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Musa? 36 and Abraham, who paid his debt in full? 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- 39 and that in time [the nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light,] 40 Thereafter he shall be recompensed therefor with the fullest recompense. 41 that all things in the end shall return to God; 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 and that it is He who makes to die, and that makes to live, 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 From a drop of semen when emitted; 46 and that it is for Him to grant the second life, 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 And that He (Allah) is the Lord of Sirius (the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship); 49 It is He who utterly destroyed the ancient tribes of Ad, 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 and the people of Noah; they were the most unjust and rebellious people. 52 just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? 55 This is a warning among the warnings of yore. 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Will you, then, wonder at this? 59 And laugh and not weep, 60 indulging in carelessly idle games? 61 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]. ۩ 62
