Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 And gave a little, then stopped (giving)? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Or has he never yet been told of what was [said] in the revelations of Moses, 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 That man can have nothing but what he strives for; 39 And that his deeds will be seen, 40 whereupon he shall be requited for it with the fullest requital; 41 And that to your Lord is your returning; 42 And that it is He Who causeth to laugh and causeth to weep. 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 From a drop of semen when emitted; 46 and that [therefore] it is within His power to bring about a second life; 47 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold; 48 It is He who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that He did destroy the Ad of old 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace of them, 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 About which, then, of thy Sustainer's powers canst thou [still] remain in doubt? 55 This is a (Prophet) like that of the ancient warners (Prophets). 56 The Imminent is imminent; 57 No one besides God can rescue a soul from hardship. 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 while you make merry? 61 Prostrate yourselves before Allah, and serve Him. ۩ 62
