English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

Verily We sent Noah unto his people, saying, warn thy people, before a grievous punishment overtake them

Noah said, O my people, verily I am a public warner unto you

Wherefore serve God, and fear Him, and obey me

He will forgive you part of your sins, and will grant you respite until a determined time: For God's determined time, when it cometh, shall not be deferred; if ye were men of understanding, ye would know this

He said, Lord, verily I have called my people night and day

but my calling only increaseth their aversion

And whensoever I call them to the true faith, that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, and cover themselves with their garments, and persist in their infidelity, and proudly disdain my counsel

Moreover I invited them openly

and I spake to them again in public; and I also secretly admonished them in private

And I said, beg pardon of your Lord; for He is inclined to forgive

And He will cause the heaven to pour down rain plentifully upon you

and will give you increase of wealth and of children; and He will provide you gardens, and furnish you with rivers

What aileth you, that ye hope not for benevolence in God

since He hath created you variously

Do ye not see how God hath created the seven heavens, one above another

and hath placed the moon therein for a light, and hath appointed the sun for a taper

God hath also produced and caused you to spring forth from the earth

Hereafter He will cause you to return into the same; and He will again take you thence, by bringing you forth from your graves

And God hath spread the earth as a carpet for you

that ye may walk therein through spacious paths

Noah said, Lord, verily they are disobedient unto me; and they follow him whose riches and children do no other than increase his perdition

And they devised a dangerous plot against Noah

And the chief men said to the others, ye shall by no means leave your gods; neither shall ye forsake Wadd, nor Sowa, nor Yaghuth, and Yauk, and Nesr

Because of their sins they were drowned, and cast into the fire of hell; and they found none to protect them against God

And Noah said, Lord, leave not any families of the unbelievers on the earth

For if thou leave them, they will seduce thy servants, and will beget none but a wicked and unbelieving offspring

Lord, forgive me and my parents, and every one who shall enter my house, being a true believer, and the true believers of both sexes; and add unto the unjust doers nothing but destruction
