Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful. | |
Undoubtedly, We sent Nuh towards his people saying warn them before a painful torment comes to them. |
.1 |
He said, O my people, I am to you a manifest warner. |
.2 |
That worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey Me. |
.3 |
He will forgive some of your sins and grant you respite till an appointed time. Undoubtedly, the promise ofAllah cannot be deferred when it comes. Any how you would have known. |
.4 |
He submitted, O my Lord, I have called my people night and day. |
.5 |
But my calling has only increased them in fleeing away. |
.6 |
And every time I called them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears, coveredthemselves with their garments, and persisted and waxed great proud. |
.7 |
Then I called them openly. |
.8 |
Then I spoke to them publicly and spoke to them in secret too. |
.9 |
And I said, 'beg forgiveness of your Lord, He is Most Forgiving. |
.10 |
He will send down upon you rain in torrents. |
.11 |
And He will help you with wealth and children and will make for you gardens and will make for you streams. |
.12 |
What happened to you? that you hope not to achieve honour from Allah. |
.13 |
While He has made you in diverse stages. |
.14 |
Do you not see that Allah has made seven heavens one upon another? |
.15 |
And He illuminated therein the moon and has made the sun as a lamp. |
.16 |
And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth like vegetation. |
.17 |
Then He will cause you to return there to and will bring you forth for the next time. |
.18 |
And Allah has made the earth for you as a bed spreading. |
.19 |
That you may walk through its wide ways. |
.20 |
Nuh said, 'O my Lord! they disobeyed me and followed such one whose wealth and children have only added tohis losses. |
.21 |
And they have plotted a tremendous plot. |
.22 |
And they said, 'never leave your gods and leave not Wadd nor Suwa nor Yaghuth and Yauq and Nasr'. (idols ofpagan Arabs) |
.23 |
And undoubtedly, they have led many astray; so increase You not the unjust but in error. |
.24 |
And because of their wrong doings, they were drowned, then made to enter the Fire. Then they found not forthemselves any helpers against Allah. |
.25 |
And Nuh submitted, 'O my Lord leave not of the infidels any inhabitant upon the earth'. |
.26 |
Undoubtedly, if You would allow them to live, they will lead astray Your bondmen and they will beget none butan evil doer, an ungrateful. |
.27 |
'O my Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who is in my house as a believer and all believing men and allbelieving women'. |
