Have you seen the one who turned away 33 And gave a little, then was grudging? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Has he not been made acquainted with what was written in the scriptures of Moses? 36 and about Abraham who fulfilled his duty (to God)? 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment; 41 and that the final end is unto thy Lord, 42 And that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep; 43 and that it is He who causes to die, and causes to live 44 and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female, 45 from a discharged living germ 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold; 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 that He it is Who destroyed the ancient 'Ad, 50 And destroyed the tribe of Thamud, not sparing anyone? 51 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious; 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 About which, then, of thy Sustainer's powers canst thou [still] remain in doubt? 55 He who warns you is one of the warners of old. 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 There is no one to unveil it apart from God. 58 At this discourse then marvel ye? 59 And do you laugh instead of weeping, 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 But fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)! ۩ 62
