Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, 33 who at first gave a little, then later held back? 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 Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses- 36 And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] - 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for; 39 And that his striving shall soon be seen- 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 And that unto thy Lord is the goal. 42 that it is He who brings laughter and tears; 43 And that it is He who causes death and gives life 44 And that it is He Who has created the two pairs, male and female? 45 From a drop of liquid, when it is added? 46 and that He will bring about the Second Creation; 47 that it is He who gives wealth and possessions; 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 And that He destroyed the former 'A-ad. 50 And the Thamud nor gave them a lease of perpetual life. 51 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; 52 and the Subverted City He also overthrew, 53 And covered them by that which He covered. 54 So O listener! Which favour of your Lord will you doubt? 55 This is a warner from the warners of ancient times. 56 The threatened Hour is nigh. 57 apart from God none can disclose it. 58 Are you astonished at this news, 59 And you laugh at it and weep not, 60 And you are lost in play! 61 [Nay,] but prostrate yourselves before God, and worship [Him alone]! ۩ 62
