71-1 : Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement.

71-2 : He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you:

71-3 : That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me:

71-4 : He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you a delay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when it comes is not postponed; did you but know!

71-5 : He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day!

71-6 : But my call has only made them flee the more:

71-7 : And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride:

71-8 : Then surely I called to them aloud:

71-9 : Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:

71-10 : Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving:

71-11 : He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain:

71-12 : And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers.

71-13 : What is the matter with you that you fear not the greatness of Allah?

71-14 : And indeed He has created you through various grades:

71-15 : Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens, one above another,

71-16 : And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp?

71-17 : And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as a growth:

71-18 : Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth:

71-19 : And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse,

71-20 : That you may go along therein in wide paths.

71-21 : Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss.

71-22 : And they have planned a very great plan.

71-23 : And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.

71-24 : And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error.

71-25 : Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.

71-26 : And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers:

71-27 : For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children)

71-28 : My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women; and do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction!
