Inna arsalna noohan ila qawmihi an anthir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum AAathabun aleemun
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إنا أرسلنا نوحا إلى قومه أن أنذر قومك من قبل أن يأتيهم عذاب أليم
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Verily, We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people (saying): "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful torment."
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun
قال يا قوم إني لكم نذير مبين
He said: "O my people! Verily, I am a plain warner to you,
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni
أن اعبدوا الله واتقوه وأطيعون
"That you should worship Allah (Alone), fear (be dutiful to) Him, and obey me,
أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayuakhkhirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajala Allahi itha jaa la yuakhkharu law kuntum taAAlamoona
يغفر لكم من ذنوبكم ويؤخركم إلى أجل مسمى ۚ إن أجل الله إذا جاء لا يؤخر ۖ لو كنتم تعلمون
"He (Allah) will forgive you of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Verily, the term of Allah when it comes, cannot be delayed, if you but knew."
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan
قال رب إني دعوت قومي ليلا ونهارا
He said: "O my Lord! Verily, I have called to my people night and day (i.e. secretly and openly to accept the doctrine of Islamic Monotheism),
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran
فلم يزدهم دعائي إلا فرارا
"But all my calling added nothing but to (their) flight (from the truth).
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا
Wainnee kullama daAAawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaAAaloo asabiAAahum fee athanihim waistaghshaw thiyabahum waasarroo waistakbaroo istikbaran
وإني كلما دعوتهم لتغفر لهم جعلوا أصابعهم في آذانهم واستغشوا ثيابهم وأصروا واستكبروا استكبارا
And verily, every time I called unto them that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, and persisted (in their refusal), and magnified themselves in pride.
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا
Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan
ثم إني دعوتهم جهارا
"Then verily, I called to them openly (aloud).
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran
ثم إني أعلنت لهم وأسررت لهم إسرارا
"Then verily, I proclaimed to them in public, and I have appealed to them in private.
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran
فقلت استغفروا ربكم إنه كان غفارا
"I said (to them): 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft-Forgiving;
فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran
يرسل السماء عليكم مدرارا
'He will send rain to you in abundance,
يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
Wayumdidkum biamwalin wabaneena wayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anharan
ويمددكم بأموال وبنين ويجعل لكم جنات ويجعل لكم أنهارا
'And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.'"
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًا
Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran
ما لكم لا ترجون لله وقارا
What is the matter with you, that [you fear not Allah (His punishment), and] you hope not for reward (from Allah or you believe not in His Oneness).
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
Waqad khalaqakum atwaran
وقد خلقكم أطوارا
While He has created you in (different) stages [i.e. first Nutfah, then 'Alaqah and then Mudghah, see (V.23:13,14)].
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan
ألم تروا كيف خلق الله سبع سماوات طباقا
See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another?
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا
WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAala alshshamsa sirajan
وجعل القمر فيهن نورا وجعل الشمس سراجا
And has made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan
والله أنبتكم من الأرض نباتا
And Allah has brought you forth from the (dust of) earth? (Tafsir At-Tabari)
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan
ثم يعيدكم فيها ويخرجكم إخراجا
Afterwards He will return you into it (the earth), and bring you forth (again on the Day of Resurrection)?
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
WaAllahu jaAAala lakumu alarda bisatan
والله جعل لكم الأرض بساطا
And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan
لتسلكوا منها سبلا فجاجا
That you may go about therein in broad roads.
لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
Qala noohun rabbi innahum AAasawnee waittabaAAoo man lam yazidhu maluhu wawaladuhu illa khasaran
قال نوح رب إنهم عصوني واتبعوا من لم يزده ماله وولده إلا خسارا
Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! They have disobeyed me, and followed one whose wealth and children give him no increase but loss.
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
Wamakaroo makran kubbaran
ومكروا مكرا كبارا
"And they have plotted a mighty plot.
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
Waqaloo la tatharunna alihatakum wala tatharunna waddan wala suwaAAan wala yaghootha wayaAAooqa wanasran
وقالوا لا تذرن آلهتكم ولا تذرن ودا ولا سواعا ولا يغوث ويعوق ونسرا
"And they have said: 'You shall not leave your gods: nor shall you leave Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq nor Nasr' (these are the names of their idols).
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan
وقد أضلوا كثيرا ۖ ولا تزد الظالمين إلا ضلالا
"And indeed they have led many astray. And (O Allah): 'Grant no increase to the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers) save error.'"
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًا
Mimma khateeatihim oghriqoo faodkhiloo naran falam yajidoo lahum min dooni Allahi ansaran
مما خطيئاتهم أغرقوا فأدخلوا نارا فلم يجدوا لهم من دون الله أنصارا
Because of their sins they were drowned, then were made to enter the Fire. And they found none to help them instead of Allah.
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran
وقال نوح رب لا تذر على الأرض من الكافرين ديارا
And Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth!
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran
إنك إن تذرهم يضلوا عبادك ولا يلدوا إلا فاجرا كفارا
"If You leave them, they will mislead Your slaves, and they will beget none but wicked disbelievers.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
Rabbi ighfir lee waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya muminan walilmumineena waalmuminati wala tazidi alththalimeena illa tabaran
رب اغفر لي ولوالدي ولمن دخل بيتي مؤمنا وللمؤمنين والمؤمنات ولا تزد الظالمين إلا تبارا
"My Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and him who enters my home as a believer, and all the believing men and women. And to the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers) grant You no increase but destruction!"
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا
