English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

We sent NuH to his people (and said to him): .Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them

He said, .O my people, I openly warn you

that you must worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey me

and Allah will forgive you your sins, and will respite you to an appointed term. Indeed when Allah‘s term comes, it is not deferred, if you only know

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

but my call added only to their flight (from the truth)

Whenever I called them, so that You might forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears, and wrapped their clothes around themselves, and grew obstinate, and waxed proud in extreme arrogance

Then I called them loudly

and then I spoke to them in public and spoke to them in private

So I said, ‘Pray to your Lord for your forgiveness,__ Indeed He is Very-Forgiving

and He will cause the heavens to rain upon you in abundance

and will help you with riches and sons, and will cause gardens to grow for you, and cause rivers to flow for you

What has happened to you that you do not appreciate the Majesty of Allah

while He has created you in different phases

Did you not see how Allah has created seven heavens one upon another

and has made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp

And Allah has caused you to grow well out of the earth

then He will send you back into it, and will bring you forth once again

so that you may go about its broad ways.‘

And said NuH, .My Lord, they disobeyed me, and followed him whose wealth and children added nothing to him but loss

and they devised a mighty plot

and said (to their people), .Never forsake your gods, and never forsake Wadd, nor Suwa‘, nor Yaghuth and Ya‘uq and Nasr

And they have led many astray. And (O my Lord,) let not the wrongdoers progress in anything but deviation from the right path

Because of their sins they were drowned, and then admitted into the Fire. So they found no helpers for them besides Allah

And said NuH, .My Lord, do not leave on earth even a single inhabitant (surviving) out of the disbelievers

If You leave them (surviving), they will lead Your servants astray, and will beget none but a sinful disbeliever

My Lord, grant pardon to me, and to my parents, and to everyone who enters my home as a believer, and to all the believing men and believing women, and do not increase the wrongdoers but in ruin
