| 71:1 | | Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon 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 be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me |
| 71:4 | | 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 |
| 71:5 | | He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day |
| 71:6 | | But my call has only made them flee the more |
| 71:7 | | 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 |
| 71:8 | | Then surely I called to them aloud |
| 71:9 | | Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret |
| 71:10 | | Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving |
| 71:11 | | He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain |
| 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 fear not the greatness of Allah |
| 71:14 | | And indeed He has created you through various grades |
| 71:15 | | Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens, one above another |
| 71:16 | | And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp |
| 71:17 | | And Allah has made you 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 for you the earth a wide expanse |
| 71:20 | | That you may go along therein in wide paths |
| 71:21 | | Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss |
| 71:22 | | And they have planned a very great plan |
| 71:23 | | And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr |
| 71:24 | | And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error |
| 71:25 | | Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah |
| 71:26 | | And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers |
| 71:27 | | For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children |
| 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 do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction |
