Prophet Noah -Nooh |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |

|
[ 71. 1 ] We sent Noah to his nation, saying: 'Give warning to your nation before a painful punishment overtakes them.' |
|
2 |
|
[ 71. 2 ] He said: 'My nation, I am a clear warner for you. |
|
3 |
|
[ 71. 3 ] Worship Allah, fear Him, and obey me. |
|
4 |
|
[ 71. 4 ] He will forgive you your sins and respite you till an appointed term. When the term of Allah arrives it cannot be deferred; if you but knew.' |
|
5 |
|
[ 71. 5 ] 'My Lord,' said he, 'night and day I have called my nation, |
|
6 |
|
[ 71. 6 ] but my call has only increased them in running away. |
|
7 |
|
[ 71. 7 ] Each time I called them so that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and wrapped themselves in their garments, and persisted becoming very proud. |
|
8 |
|
[ 71. 8 ] I called to them clearly, |
|
9 |
|
[ 71. 9 ] and indeed, I spoke to them both publicly and in secret: |
|
10 |
|
[ 71. 10 ] " Ask for forgiveness of your Lord, " I said. " Surely, He is the Forgiver. |
|
11 |
|
[ 71. 11 ] He will let loose the sky upon you in abundance |
|
12 |
|
[ 71. 12 ] and give to you wealth and sons, and provide you with gardens and rivers. |
|
13 |
|
[ 71. 13 ] What is the matter with you that you do not want the Greatness of Allah, |
|
14 |
|
[ 71. 14 ] He has created you by stages! |
|
15 |
|
[ 71. 15 ] Have you not seen how Allah created the seven heavens one above the other, |
|
16 |
|
[ 71. 16 ] setting in them the moon as a light and the sun as a lantern? |
|
17 |
|
[ 71. 17 ] Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth, |
|
18 |
|
[ 71. 18 ] and to it He will return you. Then, He will bring you forth. |
|
19 |
|
[ 71. 19 ] Allah has made the earth spread out for you |
|
20 |
|
[ 71. 20 ] so that you walk in its spacious paths. "' |
|
21 |
|
[ 71. 21 ] Noah said: 'My Lord, they have rebelled against me and followed he whose wealth and offspring increase him only in loss, |
|
22 |
|
[ 71. 22 ] they have devised a mighty plot, |
|
23 |
|
[ 71. 23 ] and said: 'Do not renounce your gods, do not leave waddan or suwa'an or yaghutha, or ya'uqa, or nasra.' |
|
24 |
|
[ 71. 24 ] And they have led many astray. ( Noah supplicated saying ): 'Allah, do not increase the harmdoers except in error!' |
|
25 |
|
[ 71. 25 ] So because of their sins they were drowned and admitted into the Fire. They found none to help them other than Allah. |
|
26 |
|
[ 71. 26 ] And Noah ( supplicated ) saying: 'My Lord, do not leave a single unbeliever upon the earth. |
|
27 |
|
[ 71. 27 ] Surely, if You leave them they will mislead Your worshipers and father none but the immoral, and unbelievers. |
|
28 |
|
[ 71. 28 ] Forgive me, My Lord, and my parents, and whosoever seeks refuge in my house as a believer, and the believers men and women alike, and do not increase the harmdoers except in ruin!' |
