Translation of Verse 33-62

33. Have you seen the one who turned away ˹from Islam,˺

34. and ˹initially˺ paid a little ˹for his salvation˺, and then stopped?

35. Does he have the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees ˹the Hereafter˺?

36. Or has he not been informed of what is in the Scripture of Moses,

37. and ˹that of˺ Abraham, who ˹perfectly˺ fulfilled ˹his covenant˺?

38. ˹They state˺ that no soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another,

39. and that each person will only have what they endeavoured towards,

40. and that ˹the outcome of˺ their endeavours will be seen ˹in their record˺,

41. then they will be fully rewarded,

42. and that to your Lord ˹alone˺ is the ultimate return ˹of all things˺.

43. Moreover, He is the One Who brings about joy and sadness. 1130

44. And He is the One Who gives life and causes death.

45. And He created the pairs-males and females-

46. from a sperm-drop when it is emitted.

47. And it is upon Him to bring about re-creation.

48. And He is the One Who enriches and impoverishes.

49. And He alone is the Lord of Sirius. 1131

50. And He destroyed the first ˹people of˺ 'Ȃd,

51. and ˹then˺ Thamûd, 1132 sparing no one.

52. And before ˹that He destroyed˺ the people of Noah, who were truly far worse in wrongdoing and transgression.

53. And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down.

54. How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺! 1133

55. Now, which of your Lord's favours will you dispute?

56. This ˹Prophet˺ is a warner like earlier ones.

57. The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near.

58. None but Allah can disclose it.

59. Do you find this revelation astonishing,

60. laughing ˹at it˺ and not weeping ˹in awe˺,

61. while persisting in heedlessness?

62. Instead, prostrate to Allah and worship ˹Him alone˺!
