| | Mohammad Shafi rendition of Surah Noah(Nuh) --- |
---|
71:1 | | We did indeed send Noah to his people: "Warn your people before a painful punishment afflicts them!" |
71:2 | | He said, "O my people! I am indeed sent to give you a plain warning" |
71:3 | | "That you should worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey me!" |
71:4 | | "HE will forgive you some of your sins, and give you respite till an appointed time. When the Allah appointed time comes, it cannot be deferred, if only you knew!" |
71:5 | | [Noah later] said, "My Lord! I have indeed preached to my people night and day." |
71:6 | | "My preaching however has only drove them farther away!" |
71:7 | | "And, indeed, whenever I preached to them [to come to the Right Path] so that You might forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up in their garments, grew obstinate, and became arrogant with false pride." |
71:8 | | "And I did indeed preach to them loud and clear." |
71:9 | | "And then I spoke to them in public; and I confided to them privately." |
71:10 | | "And I said, `Ask your Lord to forgive you. He is indeed most forgiving!'" |
71:11 | | "`He will make the sky pour rain on you in abundance.'" |
71:12 | | "`And He will help you with wealth and children, and will make gardens for you, and will generate rivers for you.'" |
71:13 | | What is the matter with you that you do not attribute Grandeur to Allah |
71:14 | | And He has surely created you [mankind] of diverse sorts and conditions |
71:15 | | Do you not see how Allah has created seven heavens one over another? |
71:16 | | And He has made within these, the moon a light [reflected], and the sun, a [radiant] lamp |
71:17 | | And Allah has grown you from the earth like a plant. |
71:18 | | Thereafter He will restore you to it [when you die]. And He will bring you out in resurrection |
71:19 | | And Allah has made the earth spread out for you |
71:20 | | So that you might thread thereon a network of spacious paths |
71:21 | | Noah said, "My Lord! They have disobeyed me all along, and they follow one whose wealth and children increase nothing but their loss." |
71:22 | | "And they plotted a great plot!" |
71:23 | | And they told [their followers], "Abandon not your gods: abandon not Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq or Nasr!" |
71:24 | | "And they have verily led many astray. And [O Allah] increase nothing but their delusion for these wicked people!" |
71:25 | | They [those wicked persons] were drowned because of their sins, and are doomed to enter the Fire [in the Hereafter]. And they found none to help them against Allah |
71:26 | | And Noah prayed, "My Lord! Leave not any of those who suppress the Truth to inhabit on the earth." |
71:27 | | "If You do indeed leave them, they will lead those who worship You astray, and will give birth to none but wicked and ingrate progeny." |
71:28 | | "My Lord! Grant forgiveness to me, to my parents, to everyone who enters my house as a believer, and to all believing men and women. And grant increase in nothing buttheir destruction for the wicked people!" |
