| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah Noah(Nuh)
--- |
|---|
| 71:1 | | Verily, We, We sent Nuh to his nation (saying) that: “Warn your nation prior to (the stage) that comes to them a painful torment.” |
| 71:2 | | He said: “O my nation! Verily, I am unto you a plain warner |
| 71:3 | | so that you may pay obedience to Allah and remain mindful of Him, and obey me |
| 71:4 | | He will forgive you of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Surely, the term specified by Allah — when it has approached — it is not postponed if you had been knowing (these facts).” |
| 71:5 | | (Nuh) said: “My Nourisher-Sustainer! Surely, I have invited my nation (to Your Scripture) night and day |
| 71:6 | | But my preaching (and propagation) has not increased them except in flight |
| 71:7 | | And truly I, every time I called them that You may forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and covered themselves up with their garments and insisted (on their wrong beliefs) and behaved with pride in arrogance, patronising seriously arrogant pride |
| 71:8 | | Afterwards, surely I,I invited them with full force |
| 71:9 | | Then surely I, I proclaimed to them in public, and (also) kept it private to them in secrecy |
| 71:10 | | so I said (to them) : ask forgiveness from your Nourisher-Sustainer; certainly He is Oft-Forgiving |
| 71:11 | | He will direct the sky unto you (to behave as one) which rains heavily |
| 71:12 | | and He would strengthen you with wealth and sons, and would establish for you gardens and set for you rivers |
| 71:13 | | What (is the matter) with you, you do not expect for Allah an absolute status |
| 71:14 | | Although, indeed He created you through diverse stages |
| 71:15 | | Have you not seen how Allah has brought into existence seven (or many) heavens, (having) fields one beyond another |
| 71:16 | | and has set the moon therein as a light and made the sun (as) a radiant bright light |
| 71:17 | | And Allah made you grow (initially) from the earth as a growth |
| 71:18 | | Then He returns you therein, and will take you out in a new appearance (on the Day of Resurrection) |
| 71:19 | | And Allah has made for you the earth wide spread and levelled |
| 71:20 | | that you may traverse some of it through tracks, wide and open |
| 71:21 | | Nuh said: “My Nourisher-Sustainer! Surely, they have disobeyed me, and they have followed one: his wealth and his children have not increased him except loss-wise |
| 71:22 | | And they have devised an stratagem — a mighty plot |
| 71:23 | | And they have said: ‘you shall not leave your gods; and nor you shall leave Wadd and nor Suwa’; and nor Yagus and Ya‘uq and Nasr. |
| 71:24 | | And indeed they have led astray many. And grant no increase to the transgressors except straying away (even further).” |
| 71:25 | | Because of their sins they were drowned; then they were to enter the Fire. Then they did not find for themselves besides Allah, (any of the) helpers |
| 71:26 | | And Nuh said: “My Nourisher-Sustainer! Do not leave (alive) on the (face of the) earth, out of the disbelievers, (any) inhabitant |
| 71:27 | | Surely You! If You leave them, they will misguide Your Ibad; and they will not beget except a sinner, a disbeliever |
| 71:28 | | My Nourisher-Sustainer! Grant forgiveness for me and my two parents, and for that who entered my home as a Believer, and for the Believing males and the Believing females (at large). And do not increase the transgressors except destruction-wise.” |
