Surah Nooh
Ayah - , Makkah
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
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
[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
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.' "
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.
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, 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 Allah [due] grandeur
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
While He has created you in stages?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And Allah 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 Allah 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 Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
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 Allah [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."
