Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? 34 Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything? 35 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses 36 and Abraham, he who paid his debt in full? 37 that no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another's burden; 38 and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for; 39 and that his labouring shall surely be seen, 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 that all things in the end shall return to God; 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 alone who deals death and grants life; 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 It is He who is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 And the subverted cities He overthrew. 53 So there covered them that which covered. 54 About which, then, of thy Sustainer's powers canst thou [still] remain in doubt? 55 This is a warner of the warners of old. 56 The Hour that was to come draws ever nearer. 57 None beside Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you marvel then at this discourse (the Koran)? 59 Or do you laugh, and do you not weep 60 and divert yourselves all the while? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
