So did you 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 any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Hath he not been told of that which is in the writs of Musa. 36 And Abraham who paid his debt: 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 and that man shall have nothing but what he has striven for, 39 That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight: 40 and in the end he will be repaid for it in full; 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 And that it is He Who causeth to laugh and causeth to weep. 43 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life; 44 And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 and that it is for Him to grant the second life, 47 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold; 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 It is He who utterly destroyed the ancient tribes of Ad, 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 and the people of Noah before -- certainly they did exceeding evil, and were insolent 52 And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute? 55 This is a warning among the warnings of yore. 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 None besides Allah can avert it, (or advance it, or delay it). 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 And laugh and not weep? 60 While you are proudly sporting? 61 Therefore prostrate for Allah, and worship Him.
