English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

We had sent Noah to his people, (saying), “Warn your people before a painful punishment comes on them.”

that you should serve (worship) God and fear Him and obey me

He will (for give and) protect you from your sins and give you time till an appointed term. When the term of God comes (to an end), it will certainly not be postponed, had you but known.”

He said, “My Lord! I invited my people (towards You) night and day

but my invitation did not increase in them anything except running away (from the truth)

And whenever I invited them that You will protectively forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears and covered, themselves with garments and persisted (in refusing) and considered themselves great (due to) pride

Then I invited them aloud

then I invited them publicly and secretly in private

then I said: Seek protective forgiveness of your Lord, He is certainly Protectively Forgiving

He will send on you abundant rain from the sky

and will help you with wealth and sons and He will make gardens for you and He will make rivers for you

What is (wrong) with you, do you not expect God to be serious (about the above promises)

And He has created you (through) different stages

Did you not consider how God created the seven skies (higher levels) in accordance with each other

and made the moon therein (a source of reflected) light and made the sun a lamp

And God caused you to grow from the earth (as a) growth

then He returns you into it and He will bring you out, a bringing out

And God has made the earth a wide expanse for you

that you may move therein on wide ways.”

Noah said, “My Lord, they disobeyed me, and followed him whose wealth and children added to him nothing but loss

And they planned a great plan

And they said: Do not leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa nor Yagus and Yauq and Nasr

And they have misled many, and You do not (give) increase to the unjust persons in anything but error.”

They were drowned because of their faults, then made to enter the fire, and they did not find for themselves any helpers besides God

And Noah said, “My Lord! do not leave on the earth any dweller from among the disbelievers

for if you leave them they will mislead your servants and they will not give birth to any but transgressing, ungrateful (children)

My Lord ! protectively forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house as a believer, and the believing men and the believing women and do not (give) increase to the unjust persons, in anything but ruin.”
