Nuh

Saheeh International

1 Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

Saheeh International

2 He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,

Saheeh International

3 [Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.

Saheeh International

4 Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

6 But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

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.

Saheeh International

8 Then I invited them publicly.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

10 And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

Saheeh International

11 He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

Saheeh International

12 And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

Saheeh International

13 What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

Saheeh International

14 While He has created you in stages?

Saheeh International

15 Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers

Saheeh International

16 And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

Saheeh International

17 And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

Saheeh International

18 Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

Saheeh International

19 And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

Saheeh International

20 That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "

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.

Saheeh International

22 And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

Saheeh International

23 And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

25 Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.

Saheeh International

26 And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

Saheeh International

27 Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

Saheeh International

28 My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
