| 71:1 | | Indeed We sent Nooh towards his people saying that, “Warn your people before the painful punishment comes upon them.&rdquo |
| 71:2 | | He said, “O my people! I am indeed a Herald of clear warnings to you.&rdquo |
| 71:3 | | “That you must worship Allah and fear Him, and obey me.&rdquo |
| 71:4 | | “He will forgive you some of your sins, and give you respite up to an appointed term; indeed the promise of Allah cannot be averted when it arrives; if only you knew.&rdquo |
| 71:5 | | He said, “My Lord! I invited my people night and day.&rdquo |
| 71:6 | | “So for them, my calling them increased their fleeing away.&rdquo |
| 71:7 | | “And whenever I called them, so that You may forgive them, they always thrust their fingers into their ears, and covered themselves with their clothes, and remained stubborn and were extremely haughty.&rdquo |
| 71:8 | | “I then called them openly.&rdquo |
| 71:9 | | “Then I also told them publicly and also spoke to them softly in private.&rdquo |
| 71:10 | | “I therefore told them, ‘Seek forgiveness from your Lord; He is indeed Most Forgiving.&rsquo |
| 71:11 | | ‘He will send down abundant rain for you from the sky.&rsquo |
| 71:12 | | ‘And will aid you with wealth and sons, and will create gardens for you and cause rivers to flow for you.&rsquo |
| 71:13 | | ‘What is the matter with you, that you do not desire honour from Allah?&rsquo |
| 71:14 | | ‘Whereas it is He Who created you in different stages?&rsquo |
| 71:15 | | ‘Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens atop each other?&rsquo |
| 71:16 | | ‘And in them, has illuminated the moon, and made the sun a lamp?&rsquo |
| 71:17 | | ‘And it is Allah Who made you grow like vegetation from the earth.&rsquo |
| 71:18 | | ‘And He will then take you back to it, and again remove you from it.&rdquo |
| 71:19 | | ‘And it is Allah Who made the earth a bed for you.&rsquo |
| 71:20 | | ‘So that you may tread the wide roads in it.’ &rdquo |
| 71:21 | | Prayed Nooh, “O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, and they follow the one whose wealth and children increase nothing for him except ruin.&rdquo |
| 71:22 | | “And they carried out a very sinister scheme.&rdquo |
| 71:23 | | “And they said, ‘Do not ever abandon your gods – and never abandon Wadd, or Suwa - or Yaghuth or Yauq or Nasr.’ &rdquo |
| 71:24 | | “And they have misled a large number; and (I pray that) You increase nothing for the unjust except error.&rdquo |
| 71:25 | | Because of their sins they were drowned and then put into the fire; so they did not find any supporter for themselves against Allah. (Punishment in the grave is proven by this verse. |
| 71:26 | | And prayed Nooh, “O my Lord! Do not leave any of the disbelievers dwelling in the land.&rdquo |
| 71:27 | | “Indeed, if You spare them, they will mislead your bondmen - and their descendants, if any, will be none except the wicked, very ungrateful.&rdquo |
| 71:28 | | “O my Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and the believers who are in my house, and all other Muslim men and Muslim women; and do not increase anything for the unjust except ruin.&rdquo |
