Shakir

3 That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me:

Saheeh International

Shakir

5 He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day!

Saheeh International

5 He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

Shakir

6 But my call has only made them flee the more:

7 And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride:

Saheeh International

7 And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

8 Then I invited them publicly.

Shakir

9 Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:

Saheeh International

9 Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

Shakir

10 Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving:

Saheeh International

14 While He has created you in stages?

Shakir

15 Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens, one above another,

Saheeh International

Shakir

16 And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp?

Saheeh International

21 Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

Shakir

22 And they have planned a very great plan.

Saheeh International

22 And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

Shakir

23 And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.

Saheeh International

Shakir

24 And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error.

Saheeh International

24 And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

Shakir

Saheeh International
