71:1  Verily We! We sent Nuh Unto his people saying: warn thy people ere there come Unto them torment afflictive

71:2  He said: O my people! verily I am Unto you a warner manifest

71:3  Worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey me

71:4  He will forgive you your sins, and will defer you to an appointed term. Verily the term of Allah when it cometh shall not be deferred, if ye but knew

71:5  He said: my Lord! verily have called my people night and day

71:6  And my calling hath only increased them in fleeing

71:7  And verily so oft as I call them, that Thou mayest forgive them, they place their fingers into their ears, and wrap themselves with their garments, and persist, and are stiff-necked

71:8  Then verily have called Unto them publicly

71:9  Then verily spake Unto them openly, and secretly also I addressed them

71:10  And I said: ask forgiveness of your Lord; verily He is ever Most Forgiving

71:11  He will send the heaven upon you copiously

71:12  And He will add Unto you riches and children and will appoint Unto you gardens and will appoint Unto you rivers

71:13  What aileth you that ye expect not in Allah majesty

71:14  And surely He hath created you by stages

71:15  Behold ye not in what wise Allah hath created seven heavens in storeys

71:16  And hath placed the moon therein for a light, and hath made the sun a lamp

71:17  And Allah hath caused you to grow from the earth as a growth

71:18  And thereafter He will cause you to return thereinto, and He will bring you forth a forthbringing

71:19  And Allah hath made the earth Unto you an expanse

71:20  That of it ye may traverse the ways open

71:21  Nuh said. my Lord! verily they have disobeyed me and followed them whose riches and children have only increased them in loss

71:22  And who have plotted a tremendous plo

71:23  And who have said: ye shall not leave your gods; nor Shall ye leave Wadd nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq nor Nasr

71:24  And surely they have misled many. And increase Thou these wrong-doers in naught save error

71:25  And because of their misdeeds they were drowned, and then they were made to enter a Fire. Then they found not for themselves, beside Allah, any helpers

71:26  And Nuh said: my Lord! leave not upon the earth of the infidels one inhabitant

71:27  Verily if Thou shouldst leave them, they Will mislead Thine bondmen and will beget not save sinning infidels

71:28  My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house as a believer, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin
