Have you [Prophet] considered the man who turned away, 33 And gave a little and [then] refrained? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Or is he not informed with what is in the Pages (Scripture) of Musa (Moses), 36 and about Abraham who fulfilled his duty (to God)? 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 And that for man shall be naught save that wherefor he endeavoureth. 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 that all things in the end shall return to God; 42 and that it is He alone who causes [you] to laugh and to weep; 43 That it is He Who granteth Death and Life; 44 And that it is He Who has created the two pairs, male and female? 45 of a sperm-drop, when it was cast forth, 46 and that upon Him is the second creation 47 and that it is He alone who frees from want and causes to possess; 48 And that He (Allah) is the Lord of Sirius (the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship); 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 and Thamood, sparing no one, 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So that they were covered over by what they were covered over. 54 Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 And you laugh and do not weep 60 Indulging in pleasantries? 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
