71. Surah Nuh

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

To worship Allāh, fear Him and obey me.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].

— Saheeh International

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments,1 persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

— Saheeh International

Then I invited them publicly.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

While He has created you in stages?1

— Saheeh International

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers1

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And Allāh has made for you the earth an expanse

— Saheeh International

That you may follow therein roads of passage.'"

— Saheeh International

Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

— Saheeh International

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

— Saheeh International

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwāʿ or Yaghūth and Yaʿūq and Nasr.'1

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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."
