Surah Nuuh: Noah

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

071.001	Lo! We sent Noah unto his people (saying): Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them.
071.002	He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you
071.003	(Bidding you): Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me,
071.004	That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew.
071.005	He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day
071.006	But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance;
071.007	And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.
071.008	And lo! I have called unto them aloud,
071.009	And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them, and I have appealed to them in private.
071.010	And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.
071.011	He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain,
071.012	And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.
071.013	What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity
071.014	When He created you by (divers) stages?
071.015	See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony,
071.016	And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?
071.017	And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth,
071.018	And afterward He maketh you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a (new) forthbringing.
071.019	And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you
071.020	That ye may thread the valley-ways thereof.
071.021	Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;
071.022	And they have plotted a mighty plot,
071.023	And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
071.024	And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error.
071.025	Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.
071.026	And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land.
071.027	If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates.
071.028	My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin.

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
