English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

Verily We! We sent Nuh Unto his people saying: warn thy people ere there come Unto them torment afflictive

He said: O my people! verily I am Unto you a warner manifest

Worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey me

He will forgive you your sins, and will defer you to an appointed term. Verily the term of Allah when it cometh shall not be deferred, if ye but knew

He said: my Lord! verily have called my people night and day

And my calling hath only increased them in fleeing

And verily so oft as I call them, that Thou mayest forgive them, they place their fingers into their ears, and wrap themselves with their garments, and persist, and are stiff-necked

Then verily have called Unto them publicly

Then verily spake Unto them openly, and secretly also I addressed them

He will send the heaven upon you copiously

And He will add Unto you riches and children and will appoint Unto you gardens and will appoint Unto you rivers

What aileth you that ye expect not in Allah majesty

And surely He hath created you by stages

Behold ye not in what wise Allah hath created seven heavens in storeys

And hath placed the moon therein for a light, and hath made the sun a lamp

And Allah hath caused you to grow from the earth as a growth

And thereafter He will cause you to return thereinto, and He will bring you forth a forthbringing

And Allah hath made the earth Unto you an expanse

That of it ye may traverse the ways open

Nuh said. my Lord! verily they have disobeyed me and followed them whose riches and children have only increased them in loss

And who have plotted a tremendous plot

And who have said: ye shall not leave your gods; nor Shall ye leave Wadd nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq nor Nasr

And surely they have misled many. And increase Thou these wrong-doers in naught save error

And because of their misdeeds they were drowned, and then they were made to enter a Fire. Then they found not for themselves, beside Allah, any helpers

And Nuh said: my Lord! leave not upon the earth of the infidels one inhabitant

Verily if Thou shouldst leave them, they Will mislead Thine bondmen and will beget not save sinning infidels

My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house as a believer, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin
