English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them

He said, "My people, I am coming to you with clear warnings

Worship God, be mindful of Him and obey me

God will forgive you of your sins, and reprieve you until an appointed time. When God's appointed time arrives it cannot be postponed, if you only knew

He said, "My Lord, I invited my people night and day

but the more I called them, the further they ran away

Every time I called them to Your forgiveness, they put their fingers into their ears, wrapped themselves in their garments, and insisted, and became increasingly more arrogant

I invited them openly

Then I appealed to them publicly, and I spoke to them privately

and said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. He is ever forgiving

He will send down abundant rain from the sky for you

and will provide you with wealth and children and He will give you gardens and rivers

What is the matter with you? Why can't you appreciate God's majesty

when He has created you stage by stage

Do you not see how God created seven superimposed heavens

and placed the moon in them as a enlightenment and He made the sun a source of light

God germinated you from the earth like plants

Then He will return you into it, and will bring you out again

And God has spread the earth out for you

that you may travel its valleys as roadways

Noah said, "My Lord, they have defied me, and followed those whose wealth and children lead them increasingly into loss

And they schemed outrageously

And said, 'Do not abandon your gods. Never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr

They have already misled many. My Lord, increase these transgressors only in misguidance

Because of their sins they were drowned and sent to Hell. They could not find any one to help them against God

And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave a single unbeliever on the face of the earth

If You leave them, they will mislead Your worshipers and breed only wicked unbelievers

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer. Forgive all the believing men and women, but bring nothing but ruin down on the transgressors
