English - Chapter 71 - Nuh

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

He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner

[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me

Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew

He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day

But my invitation increased them not except in flight

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance

Then I invited them publicly

Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

While He has created you in stages

Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp

And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction

And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

That you may follow therein roads of passage

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr

And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error

Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers

And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant

Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction
