So did you observe him who turned away? 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? 35 Has he not been informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses, 36 and about Abraham who fulfilled his duty (to God)? 37 “That no bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another, 38 nor can man achieve anything without hard labor. 39 That his endeavours will be judged, 40 Then he will be fully repaid for it? 41 To your Lord will all things eventually return. 42 and that He it is Who causes people to laugh and to cry, 43 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 discharged living germ 46 That the second creation is incumbent on Him; 47 And that it is He (Allah) Who gives much or a little (or gives wealth and contentment), 48 And that He only is the Lord of the star Sirius? 49 And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad 50 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not; 51 And before them, the people of Noah, for that they were (all) most unjust and most insolent transgressors, 52 It is He who turned upside down the people of Lot 53 So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones). 54 So, which of your Lord's bounties will you doubt?” 55 This (Muhammad SAW) is a warner (Messenger) of the (series of) warners (Messengers) of old. 56 The Day of Judgment is drawing nearer. 57 No (soul) but Allah can lay it bare. 58 Do ye then wonder at this recital? 59 Why do you laugh rather than weep? 60 Will you remain proudly heedless? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
