Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 And gave little, and then stopped? 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 and Abraham, he who paid his debt in full? 37 that no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another's burden; 38 and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for, 39 And that his effort will soon be scrutinised? 40 then he shall be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense, 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 it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing. 52 and the Subverted City He also 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 warner of the warners of old. 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 And will you laugh and not weep? 60 while you are thoughtless? 61 So prostrate yourselves before Allah and worship. ۩ 62
