The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
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 may 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! |
