English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

Verily, we sent Noah to his people, 'Warn thy people before there come to them a grievous torment

Said he, 'O my people! verily, I am to you an obvious warner

that ye serve God and fear Him and obey me

He will pardon you your sins, and will defer you unto an appointed time; verily, God's appointed time when it comes will not be deferred, did ye but know

Said he, 'My Lord! verily, I have called my people by night and day

and my call did but increase them in flight

and, verily, every time I called them, that Thou mightest pardon them, they placed their fingers in their ears and tried to cover themselves with their garments and persisted, and were very big with pride

Then I called them openly

then I published to them and I spoke to them in secret

and I said, "Ask forgiveness of your Lord, verily, He is very forgiving

He will send the rain upon you in torrents

and will extend to you wealth and children, and will make for you gardens, and will make for you rivers

when He has created you by steps

Do ye not see how God has created the seven heavens in stories

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

and God has made you grow out of the earth

and then He will make you return thereto, and will make you come forth therefrom

and God has made for you the earth a carpet

that ye may walk therein in broad paths

Said Noah, 'My Lord! verily, they have rebelled against me, and followed him whose wealth and children have but added to his loss

and they have plotted a great plot

and said, "Ye shall surely not leave your gods: ye shall surely neither leave Wadd, nor Suwah, nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr

and they led astray many."' And thou (Mohammed) wilt only increase the unjust in their error

because of their sins they were drowned and made to enter into the fire, and they found no helpers against God

And Noah said, 'My Lord! leave not upon the earth one dweller of the misbelievers

Verily, Thou, if Thou shouldst leave them, they will lead astray Thy servants, and they will only bear for children sinners and misbelievers

My Lord! pardon me and my two parents, and whomsoever enters my house believing, and (pardon) the believers men and women - but Thou shalt only increase the unjust in loss
