Have you then seen him who turns his back? 33 And he gave a little, then refrained? 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 Has he not been made acquainted with what was written in the scriptures of Moses? 36 And of Ibrahim (Abraham) who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allah ordered him to do or convey), 37 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another 38 and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for; 39 And that his endeavour shall be presently observed. 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 And that the end is only towards your Lord? 42 It is He who causes laughter and weeping. 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female, 45 from a drop of sperm when it was emitted, 46 And that only upon Him is the next revival? 47 And that it is He Who has given wealth and contentment? 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius, 49 and that He destroyed Ad, the ancient, 50 And destroyed the tribe of Thamud, not sparing anyone? 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 Which of your Lord's benefits will you then dispute about? 55 THIS IS a warning like those warnings of old: 56 The Day of Resurrection draws near, 57 and none but Allah can avert it. 58 Will you, then, wonder at this? 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 So prostrate yourselves before God and worship him. ۩ 62
