So did you observe him who turned away? 33 And he gave a little, then refrained? 34 Does he possess the knowledge of the Unseen, and therefore he sees? 35 Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another- 38 And that for man shall be naught save that wherefor he endeavoureth. 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward- 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 and that He it is Who causes death and grants life, 44 and that it is He who creates the two kinds - the male and the female 45 from an ejected drop of sperm; 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 That He is the Lord of Sirius; 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 It is He who turned upside down the people of Lot 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Marvel ye then at this statement, 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 Wasting your time in vanities? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
