(O Prophet), did you see him who turned away (from the Path of Allah), 33 and grudgingly spends very little for the cause of God? 34 Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see? 35 Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim, who was most obedient? 37 that no soul shall bear the burden of another; 38 nor can man achieve anything without hard labor. 39 And that his deeds will be seen, 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 And that thy Lord, He is the goal; 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 and that it is He alone who deals death and grants life; 44 and that He Himself created the two sexes: male and female, 45 from an ejaculated drop (of sperm), 46 And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time; 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 that He is the Lord of Sirius. 49 And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient '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 that it is He Who threw down the upturned townships? 53 So that there covered them that which did cover. 54 So, which of your Lord's bounties will you doubt?” 55 He who warns you is one of the warners of old. 56 There hath approached the approaching Hour. 57 apart from God none can disclose it. 58 Do you marvel then at this discourse (the Koran)? 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 While you are proudly sporting? 61 Prostrate yourselves before God, and worship Him alone! ۩ 62
