Chapter 71: Surah Nuh (Noah) - Sheikh Abu Tayyeb

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
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!
