(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 34 Does he [claim to] have knowledge of something that is beyond the reach of human perception, so that he can see [it clearly]? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 and of Abraham, who to his trust was true: 37 Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another; 38 nor can man achieve anything without hard labor. 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 and that it is He who makes to laugh, and that makes to weep, 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 That He did create in pairs,- male and female, 45 From seed when it is emitted. 46 And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time; 47 It is He who grants people temporary and durable wealth. 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 and Thamood, and He did not spare them, 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 And He overthrew the Cities of the Plain, 53 and caused them to be covered with that which He covered them with. 54 Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt. 55 This is a warner, of the warners of old. 56 The Imminent is near at hand; 57 [although] none but God can unveil it.... 58 Marvel ye then at this statement, 59 And will you laugh and not weep? 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 Prostrate yourselves before God, and worship Him alone! ۩ 62
