Hast thou considered him who turns his back 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another. 38 and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for, 39 and that his work is surely seen 40 Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward- 41 and that the final end is unto thy Lord, 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life; 44 It is He who has created spouses, male and female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 and on Him depends the life hereafter. 47 That it is He who makes you rich and contented; 48 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; 49 It was He who totally destroyed the former 'Ad 50 and Thamud tribes, 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 He plunged the villages 53 So that (ruins unknown) have covered them up. 54 So, which of your Lord's bounties will you doubt?” 55 This is a warner from the warners of ancient times. 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 At this discourse then marvel ye? 59 and do you laugh, and do you not weep, 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
