| | Musharraf Hussain rendition of Surah Noah(Nuh)

| 71:1 | | Indeed, We sent Nuh to his people with a message: “Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them.” |
| 71:2 | | He told them, “My people! I am a clear warner to you, |
| 71:3 | | so worship Allah, be mindful of Him and obey me, |
| 71:4 | | then He will forgive your sins and spare you until your appointed time. When Allah’s deadline comes, it cannot be delayed, I wish you understood. |
| 71:5 | | He prayed: “My Lord, I called my people day and night, |
| 71:6 | | my calling has only increased them in fleeing further and further away. |
| 71:7 | | Each time I invited them to Your forgiveness, they put their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, persisted in their disbelief and were thoroughly arrogant. |
| 71:8 | | I invited them openly, |
| 71:9 | | then in public, and in private with the utmost discretion |
| 71:10 | | I told them, ‘Seek your Lord’s forgiveness; He is Most Forgiving |
| 71:11 | | He will send plenty of rain for you from the sky, |
| 71:12 | | and bless you with wealth, children, provide for you gardens, and provide for you rivers. |
| 71:13 | | What’s the matter with you that you don’t fear the Majesty of Allah? |
| 71:14 | | Yet He created you in stages. |
| 71:15 | | Haven’t you considered how Allah created the Seven Heavens one above the other? |
| 71:16 | | He placed the moon as a light, and the sun as a lamp. |
| 71:17 | | Allah produced you from the Earth like plants, |
| 71:18 | | then He will return you to it, and will bring you out from it. |
| 71:19 | | And Allah spread out the Earth for you, |
| 71:20 | | so you may travel over its broad paths and valleys.’ |
| 71:21 | | Eventually Nuh prayed: “My Lord, they disobeyed me and followed those whose wealth and children increased them in loss. |
| 71:22 | | They devised a scheme of great magnitude: |
| 71:23 | | they tell them, ‘Don’t abandon your gods and don’t abandon Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya‘uq or Nasr.’ |
| 71:24 | | They have misled many; My Lord, do not increase the wicked except from going further and further astray from the Truth.” |
| 71:25 | | Due to their sins, they were drowned and then thrown into Hell; they couldn’t find any helper for them against Allah. |
| 71:26 | | Nuh prayed: “My Lord, don’t leave any disbelievers on Earth; |
| 71:27 | | if you left them, they will misguide Your servants, and breed more wicked disbelievers. |
| 71:28 | | My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer, believing men and women. Don’t increase the wicked except in utter destruction. |
