English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

We sent Noah to his people, saying, 'Warn thy people, ere there come on them a painful chastisement

He said, 'O my people, I am unto you a clear warner

saying, "Serve God, and fear Him, and obey you me

and He will forgive you your sins, and defer you to a stated term; God's term, when it comes, cannot be deferred, did you but know

He said; 'My Lord, I have called my people by night and by day

And whenever I called them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, and wrapped them in their garments, and persisted, and waxed very proud

Then indeed I called them openly

then indeed I spoke publicly unto them, and I spoke unto them secretly

and I said, "Ask you forgiveness of your Lord; surely He is ever All-forgiving

and He will loose heaven upon you in torrents

and will succour you with wealth and sons, and will appoint for you gardens, and will appoint for you rivers

What ails you, that you look not for majesty in God

seeing He created you by stages

Have you not regarded how God created seven heavens one upon another

and set the moon therein for a light and the sun for a lamp

And God caused you to grow out of the earth

then He shall return you into it, and bring you forth

And God has laid the earth for you as a carpet

that thereof you may thread ways, ravines

Noah said, 'My Lord, they have rebelled against me, and followed him whose wealth and children increase him only in loss

and have devised a mighty device

and have said, "Do not leave your gods, and do not leave Wadd, nor Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq, neither Nasr

And they have led many astray. Increase Thou not the evildoers save in error

And because of their transgressions they were drowned, and admitted into a Fire, for they found not, apart from God, any to help them

And Noah said, 'My Lord, leave not upon the earth of the unbelievers even one

Surely, if Thou leavest them, they will lead Thy servants astray, and will beget none but unbelieving libertines

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whosoever enters my house as a believer, and the believers, men and women alike; and do Thou not increase the evildoers save in ruin
