71. Nooh سُورَةُ نُوحٍ

Yusuf AliWe sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty

Yusuf AliHe said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open

Yusuf AliThat ye should worship God, fear Him and obey me

Yusuf AliSo He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by God is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew

Yusuf AliHe said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day

Yusuf AliBut my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right)

Yusuf AliAnd every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance

Yusuf AliSo I have called to them aloud

Yusuf AliFurther I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private

Yusuf AliSaying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving

Yusuf AliHe will send rain to you in abundance

Yusuf AliGive you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water)

Yusuf AliWhat is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long-suffering in God

Yusuf AliSeeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages

Yusuf AliSee ye not how God has created the seven heavens one above another

Yusuf AliAnd made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp

Yusuf AliAnd God has produced you from the earth growing (gradually)

Yusuf AliAnd in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)

Yusuf AliAnd God has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out)

Yusuf AliThat ye may go about therein, in spacious roads

Yusuf AliNoah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss

Yusuf AliAnd they have devised a tremendous Plot

Yusuf AliAnd they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr

Yusuf AliThey have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong- doers but in straying (from their mark)

Yusuf AliBecause of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of God- none to help them

Yusuf AliAnd Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth

Yusuf AliFor, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones

Yusuf AliO my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition
