(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 And gave little, and then stopped? 34 Has he knowledge of the unseen, so that he sees? 35 Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses 36 and Abraham, he who paid his debt in full? 37 That no laden one shall bear another's load, 38 and that man shall have only that for which he strives; 39 And that his effort will soon be scrutinised? 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 And that it is He Who causeth to die and causeth to live. 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation 47 And that it is He Who enricheth and preserveth property. 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 And He overthrew the Cities of the Plain, 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 So O listener! Which favour of your Lord will you doubt? 55 This is a warning just like those of former times. 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 None beside Allah can disclose it. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 Or do you laugh, and do you not weep 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 Bow instead in adoration before God and worship Him. ۩ 62
