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