Have you considered he who turns his back, 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything? 35 Has not he been informed of the contents of the Book of Moses 36 And with Abraham who kept his word: 37 That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another- 38 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- 39 and that in time [the nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light,] 40 whereupon he shall be requited for it with the fullest requital; 41 and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 42 and that it is He alone who causes [you] to laugh and to weep; 43 and that it is He who makes to die, and that makes to live, 44 and He it is Who created the two kinds, the male and the female, 45 From a sperm-drop when it is emitted 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 and that it is He alone who frees from want and causes to possess; 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that He did destroy the Ad of old 50 Thamud, 51 and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent; 52 And that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 So O listener! Which favour of your Lord will you doubt? 55 This is a (Prophet) like that of the ancient warners (Prophets). 56 The Approaching Day has approached. 57 There is no one to unveil it apart from God. 58 So are you surprised at this fact? 59 And you laugh, and do not weep! 60 And you are lost in play! 61 Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him. ۩ 62
