Surah Nooh

اِنَّا͏ٓ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰي قَوْمِهٖٓ اَنْ اَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّاْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ ۝١

1Indeed We sent Noah to his people, [saying,] ‘Warn your people before a painful punishment overtakes them.’

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٢ۙ

2He said, ‘O my people! Indeed, I am a manifest warner to you.

اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوْهُ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِ ۝٣ۙ

3Worship Allah and be wary of Him, and obey me,

يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَيُو͏ٔ͏َخِّرْكُمْ اِلٰٓي اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّيؕ اِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ اِذَا جَا࢜ءَ لَا يُو͏ٔ͏َخَّرُۘ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٤

4that He may forgive you some of your sins and respite you until a specified time. Indeed when Allah’s [appointed] time comes, it cannot be deferred, if you know.’

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِيْ لَيْلًا وَّنَهَارًا ۝٥ۙ

5He said, ‘My Lord! Indeed, I have summoned my people night and day

فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَا࢜ءِيْٓ اِلَّا فِرَارًا ۝٦

6but my summons only increases their evasion.

وَاِنِّيْ كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوْٓا اَصَابِعَهُمْ فِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَاَصَرُّوْا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا ۝٧ۚ

7Indeed whenever I have summoned them, so that You might forgive them, they would put their fingers into their ears and draw their cloaks over their heads, and they were persistent [in their unfaith], and disdainful in [their] arrogance.

ثُمَّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا ۝٨ۙ

8Again I summoned them aloud,

ثُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَاَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ اِسْرَارًا ۝٩ۙ

9and again appealed to them publicly and confided with them privately,

فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفَّارًا ۝١٠ۙ

10telling [them]: ‘‘Plead to your Lord for forgiveness. Indeed, He is all-forgiving.

يُّرْسِلِ السَّمَا࢜ءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا ۝١١ۙ

11He will send for you abundant rains from the sky,

وَّيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ اَنْهٰرًا ۝١٢ؕ

12and aid you with wealth and sons, and provide you with gardens and provide you with streams.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ وَقَارًا ۝١٣ۚ

13What is the matter with you that you do not look upon Allah with veneration,

وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ اَطْوَارًا ۝١٤

14though He has created you in [various] stages?

اَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ۝١٥ۙ

15Have you not seen how Allah has created the seven heavens in layers,

وَّجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيْهِنَّ نُوْرًا وَّجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا ۝١٦

16and has made therein the moon for a light and the sun for a lamp?

وَاللّٰهُ اَنۢ͏ْبَتَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ نَبَاتًا ۝١٧ۙ

17Allah made you grow from the earth, with a [vegetable] growth.

ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُكُمْ فِيْهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ اِخْرَاجًا ۝١٨

18Then He makes you return to it, and He will bring you forth [without fail].

وَاللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ بِسَاطًا ۝١٩ۙ

19Allah has made the earth a vast expanse for you

لِّتَسْلُكُوْا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا ۝٢٠ࣖ

20so that you may travel over its spacious ways.’’ ’

قَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ اِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِيْ وَاتَّبَعُوْا مَنْ لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهٗ وَوَلَدُهٗٓ اِلَّا خَسَارًا ۝٢١ۚ

21Noah said, ‘My Lord! They have disobeyed me, following someone whose wealth and children only add to his loss,

وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا ۝٢٢ۚ

22and they have devised an outrageous plot.

وَقَالُوْا لَا تَذَرُنَّ اٰلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَّلَا سُوَاعًا࣢ۙ وَّلَا يَغُوْثَ وَيَعُوْقَ وَنَسْرًا ۝٢٣ۚ

23They say, ‘‘Do not abandon your gods. Do not abandon Wadd, nor Suwa, nor Yaghuth, Ya‘uq and Nasr,’’

وَقَدْ اَضَلُّوْا كَثِيْرًا࣢ۚ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا ضَلٰلًا ۝٢٤

24and already they have led many astray. Do not increase the wrongdoers in anything but error.’

مِمَّا خَطِيْ࢜ـٰٔتِهِمْ اُغْرِقُوْا فَاُدْخِلُوْا نَارًا࣢ۙ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَنْصَارًا ۝٢٥

25They were drowned because of their iniquities, then made to enter a Fire, and they did not find any helpers for themselves besides Allah.

وَقَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَي الْاَرْضِ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ دَيَّارًا ۝٢٦

26And Noah said, ‘My Lord! ‘Do not leave on the earth any inhabitant from among the faithless.

اِنَّكَ اِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوْا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوْٓا اِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا ۝٢٧

27If You leave them, they will lead astray Your servants, and will beget none except vicious ingrates.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَنْ دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنًا وَّلِلْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنٰتِؕ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا تَبَارًا ۝٢٨ࣖ

28My Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and whoever enters my house in faith, and the faithful men and women, and do not increase the wrongdoers in anything but ruin.’
