Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 and gives so little [of himself for the good of his soul,] and so grudgingly? 34 Does he have knowledge of the hidden, so he can foresee? 35 Has he not heard what is contained in the Book of Moses, 36 And of Ibrahim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allah ordered him to do or convey), 37 Certainly no one will bear the responsibility of the sins of another, 38 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, 39 That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight: 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 And that to your Lord is the goal- 42 And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep 43 And that it is He Who gave death and gave life? 44 and that He Himself created the two kinds, male and female, 45 out of a [mere] drop of sperm as it is poured forth, 46 And that upon Him is another bringing forth. 47 that it is He who gives wealth and possessions; 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 And that He did destroy the Ad of old 50 and Thamud, leaving no trace of them, 51 as well as the people of Noah before them - [since,] verily, they all had been most willful in their evildoing and most overweening 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 So they were covered with whatever covered them? 54 Then which of thy Lord's bounties disputest thou? 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 Do ye then wonder at this recital? 59 And do you laugh instead of weeping, 60 while you are thoughtless? 61 Bow instead in adoration before God and worship Him. ۩ 62
