(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 and gives so little [of himself for the good of his soul,] and so grudgingly? 34 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see? 35 Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Moses 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 and that man shall have only that for which he strives; 39 He will certainly see the result of his labor 40 then he shall be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense, 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 and that it is He who makes to laugh, and that makes to weep, 43 and that it is He who makes to die, and that makes to live, 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 upon Him rests the second growth, 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that it is He Who earlier destroyed the tribe of Aad? 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 So they were covered with whatever covered them? 54 On which then of your Lord's signs do you cast doubt? 55 This is a (Prophet) like that of the ancient warners (Prophets). 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 Will you laugh at it rather than weep? 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
