them, although, verily, We had sent (MUN-DZIREEN)

NOW TO CONTINUE ….

“BEHOLD. We sent Noah unto his people. [saying:] "Warn

thy people ere grievous suffering befall them!

[And Noah] said: "O my people! I am but a plain warner

to you, [sent to tell you] that you should worship Allah

[alone] and be conscious of Him. "Now do pay heed unto

me, so that He may forgive you some of your sins, and

grant you respite until a term known [to Him alone]: but,

behold, when the term appointed by Allah does come, it

can never be put back - if you but knew it!“

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 1-4)



[And after a time, Noah] said: "O my Sustainer!

Verily, I have been calling unto my people night

and day but my call has only caused them to flee

farther and farther away [from Thee]. “

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 5-6)

“And behold, whenever I called unto them with a view to

Thy granting them forgiveness, they put their fingers into

their ears, and wrapped themselves up in their garments

[of sin]; and grew obstinate, and became [yet more]

arrogant in their false pride.

"And behold I called unto them openly; and, behold I

preached to them in public; and I spoke to them secretly,

in private; and I said: "'Ask your Sustainer to forgive you

your sins - for, verily, He is all-forgiving!“

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 7-10)



“He (Allah) will shower upon you heavenly

blessings abundant, and will aid you with

worldly goods and children, and will bestow

upon you gardens, and bestow upon you running

waters.“

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 11-12)


"'What is amiss with you that you cannot look forward to

Allah's majesty, seeing that He has created [every one of]

you in successive stages? "'Do you not see how Allah has

created seven heavens in full harmony with one

another, and has set up within them the moon as a light

[reflected] and set up the sun as a [radiant] lamp?.“

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 13-16)


"'And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth in

[gradual] growth; and thereafter He will return you to

it [in death]: and [then] He will bring you forth [from

It] in resurrection. "'And Allah has made the earth a

wide expanse for you, so that you might walk thereon

on spacious paths.’"

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 17-20)


" [And] Noah continued: "O my Sustainer! Behold, they have

opposed me [throughout], for they follow people whose

wealth and children lead them increasingly into ruin, and who

have devised a most awesome blasphemy [against

Thee], inasmuch as they said [to their followers], 'Do not ever

abandon your gods: abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', and

neither Yaghuth nor Ya’uq nor Nasr!' And so they have led

many a one astray: hence, ordain Thou that these evildoers

stray but farther and farther away [from all that they may

desire]!"

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 21-24)


"And so, because of their sins, they were drowned

[in the great flood], and were doomed to suffer the

fire [of the hereafter]; and they found none who

could succour them against Allah. And Noah

prayed: "O my Sustainer! Leave not on earth any of

those who deny the truth: for, behold, If Thou dost

leave them, they will [always try to] lead astray

those who worship Thee, and will give birth to

nothing but wickedness and stubborn

ingratitude.”

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 25-27)


“O my Sustainer! Grant Thy forgiveness unto me and unto my parents,

and unto everyone who enters my house as a believer, and unto all

believing men and believing women [of later times]; and grant Thou

that the doers of evil shall increasingly meet with destruction!“

(Qur’an: Nuh: 71: 28)
