Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 And gave a little, then was grudging? 34 Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)? 35 Or has he never yet been told of what was [said] in the revelations of Moses, 36 and about Abraham who fulfilled his duty (to God)? 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, 39 And that his effort is going to be seen - 40 And only then will he receive his recompense in full; 41 and that the final return is to your Lord, 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 who makes to die, and that makes to live, 44 That He created pairs, male and female, 45 from a drop of sperm when it was emitted, 46 and that upon Him is the second creation 47 And that it is He (Allah) Who gives much or a little (or gives wealth and contentment), 48 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius; 49 And that it is He (Allah) Who destroyed the former 'Ad (people), 50 And Thamud (people). He spared none of them. 51 And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious. 52 And the overturned towns He hurled down 53 so that there covered it that which covered. 54 Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt? 55 He who warns you is one of the warners of old. 56 The (Judgment) ever approaching draws nigh: 57 None but God can avert it. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 Will you laugh at it rather than weep? 60 And ye are behaving proudly. 61 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]. ۩ 62
