71 Prophet Noah -Nooh

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[71.1] We sent Noah to his nation, saying: 'Give warning to your nation before a painful punishment overtakes them. '

[71.2] He said: 'My nation, I am a clear warner for you.

[71.3] Worship Allah, fear Him, and obey me.

[71.4] He will forgive you your sins and respite you till an appointed term. When the term of Allah arrives it cannot be deferred; if you but knew. '

[71.5] 'My Lord, ' said he, 'night and day I have called my nation,

[71.6] but my call has only increased them in running away.

[71.7] Each time I called them so that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and wrapped themselves in their garments, and persisted becoming very proud.

[71.8] I called to them clearly,

[71.9] and indeed, I spoke to them both publicly and in secret:

[71.10] "Ask for forgiveness of your Lord," I said. "Surely, He is the Forgiver.

[71.11] He will let loose the sky upon you in abundance

[71.12] and give to you wealth and sons, and provide you with gardens and rivers.

[71.13] What is the matter with you that you do not want the Greatness of Allah,

[71.14] He has created you by stages!

[71.15] Have you not seen how Allah created the seven heavens one above the other,

[71.16] setting in them the moon as a light and the sun as a lantern?

[71.17] Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth,

[71.18] and to it He will return you. Then, He will bring you forth.

[71.19] Allah has made the earth spread out for you

[71.20] so that you walk in its spacious paths." '

[71.21] Noah said: 'My Lord, they have rebelled against me and followed he whose wealth and offspring increase him only in loss,

[71.22] they have devised a mighty plot,

[71.23] and said: 'Do not renounce your gods, do not leave waddan or suwa'an or yaghutha, or ya'uqa, or nasra. '

[71.24] And they have led many astray. (Noah supplicated saying): 'Allah, do not increase the harmdoers except in error! '

[71.25] So because of their sins they were drowned and admitted into the Fire. They found none to help them other than Allah.

[71.26] And Noah (supplicated) saying: 'My Lord, do not leave a single unbeliever upon the earth.

[71.27] Surely, if You leave them they will mislead Your worshipers and father none but the immoral, and unbelievers.

[71.28] Forgive me, My Lord, and my parents, and whosoever seeks refuge in my house as a believer, and the believers men and women alike, and do not increase the harmdoers except in ruin! '
