Sura 71 Nuh ((The Prophet) Nooh)

1. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

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

   71:1

2. قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ

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

   71:2

3. أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ

   (Saying), 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.

   71:3

4. يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

   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.' "

   71:4

5. قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا

   He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people (to truth) night and day.

   71:5

6. فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا

   But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

   71:6

7. وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا

   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.

   71:7

8. ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا

   Then I invited them publicly.

   71:8

9. ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا

   Then I announced to them and (also) confided to them secretly

   71:9

10. فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

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

    71:10

11. يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا

    He will send (rain from) the sky upon you in (continuing) showers

    71:11

12. وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهَارًا

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

    71:12

13. مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا

    What is (the matter) with you that you do not attribute to Allah (due) grandeur

    71:13

14. وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا

    While He has created you in stages?

    71:14

15. أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا

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

    71:15

16. وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا

    And made the moon therein a (reflected) light and made the sun a burning lamp?

    And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a (progressive) growth.

    71:17

18. ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا

    Then He will return you into it and extract you (another) extraction.
