English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

We sent Noah to his people: "Warn your people before some painful torment comes to them

He said: "My folk, I am a plain warner for you

serve God and heed Him, and obey me

He will forgive some of your offences for you and postpone things for you until a specific deadline. God´s deadline will never be postponed once it comes, if you only realized it

He said: "My Lord, I have appealed to my people night and day

and my appeal has only made them flee farther away from me

Each time I appeal to them to ask You to forgive them, they stick their fingers in their ears and try to wrap themselves up in their clothing. They persist in that and have become so overbearing

Next I appealed to them publicly

then I broadcast it to them and confided with them privately

and said: ´Seek forgiveness from your Lord; He has been so Forgiving

He causes the sky to send torrents down upon you

and He supplies you with wealth and children, and grants you gardens and even grants you rivers

´What is wrong that you do not expect God to have any dignity

while He has created you over and over again

Have you not (all) considered how God created seven matching Heavens

He has set the moon as a light among them, and set the sun up as a source of light

God makes you grow out of the earth like plants

Later He will return you to it, and bring you forth once more

´God has laid the earth out as a carpet for you

so you may travel around on highways which lead through mountain passes.´

They have hatched a great plot

and said: ´Do not forsake your gods: do not leave Wadd, nor Suwa, nor Yaghuth, nor Yauq, nor Nasr!´

They have led so many astray; just let wrongdoers go even farther astray!´

Because of their mistakes, they were drowned and dispatched into the Fire. They did not find they had any supporters apart from God

Noah said: "My Lord, do not leave any disbelievers with homes upon the earth

If You should leave them any, they will lead Your servants astray and will only breed loose-living disbelievers

My Lord, forgive me and my parents, as well as anyone who enters my house as a believer, plus believing men and believing women! Do not increase wrongdoers in anything except destruction
