HAST THOU, then, ever considered him who turns away [from remembering Us, and cares for no more than the life of this world,] 33 Who gives but little, and is niggardly? 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 not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses 36 And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled? 37 That no soul shall bear another's burden, 38 And that man will not obtain anything except what he strove for? 39 And that his effort will be seen. 40 Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. 41 And that to your Lord (Allah) is the End (Return of everything). 42 That it is He Who granteth Laughter and Tears; 43 and that He it is Who causes death and grants life, 44 And that He createth the pair, the male and the female. 45 From the small seed when it is adapted 46 and that [therefore] it is within His power to bring about a second life; 47 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold; 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 And that He did destroy the Ad of old 50 And Thamud, and did not leave them, 51 and the people of Noah; they were the most unjust and rebellious people. 52 just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown 53 so that there came upon them that which came. 54 Then which of thy Lord's bounties disputest thou? 55 He who warns you is one of the warners of old. 56 What is to come is imminent. 57 none except Allah can disclose it. 58 Do you then find these tidings strange? 59 and do they laugh instead of weeping, 60 Will you remain proudly heedless? 61 Prostrate yourselves before Allah, and serve Him. ۩ 62
