Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 Does he [claim to] have knowledge of something that is beyond the reach of human perception, so that he can see [it clearly]? 35 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses- 36 and Abraham, he who paid his debt in full? 37 That no burdened soul bears another soul’s burden? 38 nor can man achieve anything without hard labor. 39 And that his endeavour shall be presently observed. 40 and that he shall then be fully recompensed, 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 And He who ordains death and life; 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 From a drop of semen when emitted; 46 and that upon Him is the second creation 47 that He it is Who bestowed wealth and riches, 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), 50 And that Thamud! He left not. 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 Then covered them with that which covered them. 54 Then which of the gifts of thy Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about? 55 This is a warner from the warners of ancient times. 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 There shall be none besides Allah to remove it. 58 Do you then marvel at this discourse, 59 and do you laugh, and do you not weep, 60 While you are indulging in varieties. 61 Bow instead in adoration before God and worship Him. ۩ 62
