| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah Noah(Nuh)
--- |
|---|
| 71:1 | | Surely We sent Noah to his people, saying: Warn thy people before there come to them a painful chastisement |
| 71:2 | | He said: O my people, surely I am a plain warner to you |
| 71:3 | | That you should serve Allah and keep your duty to Him and obey me - |
| 71:4 | | He will forgive you some of your sins and grant you respite to an appointed term. Surely the term of Allah, when it comes, is not postponed. Did you but know |
| 71:5 | | He said: My Lord, I have called my people night and day |
| 71:6 | | But my call has only made them flee the more |
| 71:7 | | And whenever I call to them Thou mayest forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are big with pride |
| 71:8 | | Then surely I have called to them aloud |
| 71:9 | | Then spoken to them in public and spoken to them in private |
| 71:10 | | So I have said: Ask forgiveness of your Lord; surely He is ever Forgiving |
| 71:11 | | He will send down upon you rain, pouring in abundance |
| 71:12 | | And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers |
| 71:13 | | What is the matter with you that you hope not for greatness from Allah |
| 71:14 | | And indeed He has created you by various stages |
| 71:15 | | See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens alike |
| 71:16 | | And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp |
| 71:17 | | And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth as a growth |
| 71:18 | | Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth |
| 71:19 | | And Allah has made the earth a wide expanse for you |
| 71:20 | | That you may go along therein in spacious paths |
| 71:21 | | Noah said: My Lord, surely they disobey me and follow him whose wealth and children have increased him in naught but loss |
| 71:22 | | And they have planned a mighty plan |
| 71:23 | | And they say: Forsake not your gods; nor forsake Wadd, nor Suwa’, nor Yaghuth and Ya’uq and Nasr |
| 71:24 | | And indeed they have led many astray. And increase Thou the wrongdoers in naught but perdition |
| 71:25 | | Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter Fire, so they found no helpers besides Allah |
| 71:26 | | And Noah said: My Lord, leave not of the disbelievers any dweller on the land |
| 71:27 | | For if Thou leave them, they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immortal, ungrateful ones |
| 71:28 | | My Lord, forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women. And increase not the wrongdoers in aught but destruction |
