Verily We! We sent Nuh Unto his people saying: warn thy people ere there come Unto them torment afflictive
He said: O my people! verily I am Unto you a warner manifest
Worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey me
He will forgive you your sins, and will defer you to an appointed term. Verily the term of Allah when it cometh shall not be deferred, if ye but knew
He said: my Lord! verily have called my people night and day
And my calling hath only increased them in fleeing
And verily so oft as I call them, that Thou mayest forgive them, they place their fingers into their ears, and wrap themselves with their garments, and persist, and are stiff-necked
Then verily have called Unto them publicly
Then verily spake Unto them openly, and secretly also I addressed them
And I said: ask forgiveness of your Lord; verily He is ever Most Forgiving
He will send the heaven upon you copiously
And He will add Unto you riches and children and will appoint Unto you gardens and will appoint Unto you rivers
What aileth you that ye expect not in Allah majesty
And surely He hath created you by stages
Behold ye not in what wise Allah hath created seven heavens in storeys
And hath placed the moon therein for a light, and hath made the sun a lamp
And Allah hath caused you to grow from the earth as a growth
And thereafter He will cause you to return thereinto, and He will bring you forth a forthbringing
And Allah hath made the earth Unto you an expanse
That of it ye may traverse the ways open
Nuh said. my Lord! verily they have disobeyed me and followed them whose riches and children have only increased them in loss
And who have plotted a tremendous plot
And who have said: ye shall not leave your gods; nor Shall ye leave Wadd nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq nor Nasr
And surely they have misled many. And increase Thou these wrong-doers in naught save error
And because of their misdeeds they were drowned, and then they were made to enter a Fire. Then they found not for themselves, beside Allah, any helpers
And Nuh said: my Lord! leave not upon the earth of the infidels one inhabitant
Verily if Thou shouldst leave them, they Will mislead Thine bondmen and will beget not save sinning infidels
My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house as a believer, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin
