Have you seen the one who turned away 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Has he knowledge of the unseen, so that he sees? 35 Has he not heard what is contained in the Book of Moses, 36 and about Abraham who fulfilled his duty (to God)? 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 And that man will not obtain anything except what he strove for? 39 and that his labouring shall surely be seen, 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 that all things in the end shall return to God; 42 That it is He who makes you happy and morose, 43 That it is He Who granteth Death and Life; 44 That He did create in pairs,- male and female, 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 and that it is for Him to grant the second life, 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius 49 And that He destroyed the former 'A-ad. 50 And Thamud (people). He spared none of them. 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown 53 So that there covered them that which did cover. 54 So, which of your Lord's bounties will you doubt?” 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 None besides Allah can avert it, (or advance it, or delay it). 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 And you are lost in play! 61 Prostrate yourselves before Allah, and serve Him. ۩ 62
