and of Ibrāhīm who fulfilled (his duties)?

(It was) that no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of the other,

and that a man shall not deserve but (the reward of) his own effort,

and that his effort will soon be seen,

then he will be recompensed for it in full,

and that to your Lord is the end (of every one),

and that He is the One who makes (one) laugh and makes (him) weep,

and that He is the One who gives death and gives life,

and that He creates the pairs, male and female,

from a sperm-drop when it is poured (into a womb),

and that the second creation is undertaken by Him,

and that He is the One who gives wealth and preserves (it),

and that He is the One who is the Lord of Sirius (the star worshipped by pagans),

and that He has destroyed the earlier ‘Ād,

and Thamūd, so spared none,

and (destroyed) the people of NūH even earlier. Surely they were more unjust and more rebellious.

And He destroyed the overturned towns (of the people of LūT) also,

so enveloped they were by that which enveloped.
