Have you seen him who turns his back, 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 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 Or has he not been told of what is in the scrolls of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for, 39 He will certainly see the result of his labor 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 42 And that it is He Who made (you) laugh and made (you) cry? 43 and that it is He who causes to die, and causes to live 44 And that He (Allah) creates the pairs, male and female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 It is He who grants people temporary and durable wealth. 48 and that it is He alone who sustains the brightest star; 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 And the Thamud nor gave them a lease of perpetual life. 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So that (ruins unknown) have covered them up. 54 So O listener! Which favour of your Lord will you doubt? 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 none except Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you then wonder at this announcement? 59 And you laugh and do not weep 60 While ye amuse yourselves? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
