| 1. * | Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement. |
| 2. * | He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you: |
| 3. * | That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me: |
| 4. * | He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you a delay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when it comes is not postponed; did you but know! |
| 5. * | He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day! |
| 6. * | But my call has only made them flee the more: |
| 7. * | And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride: |
| 8. * | Then surely I called to them aloud: |
| 9. * | Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret: |
| 10. * | Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving: |
| 11. * | He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain: |
| 12. * | And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers. |
| 13. * | What is the matter with you that you fear not the greatness of Allah? |
| 14. * | And indeed He has created you through various grades: |
| 15. * | Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens ,~ one above another, |
| 16. * | And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp? |
| 17. * | And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as a growth: |
| 18. * | Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth: |
| 19. * | And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse, |
| 20. * | That you may go along therein in wide paths. |
| 21. * | Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss. |
| 22. * | And they have planned a very great plan. |
| 23. * | And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr. |
| 24. * | And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error. |
| 25. * | Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah. |
| 26. * | And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers: |
| 27. * | For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children) |
| 28. * | My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women; and do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction! |
