In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Surah Nuh
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people: Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them
He said, “O my people, I am to you a clear warner.”
To worship God, fear Him, and obey Him
He will forgive you of your sins and grant you reprieve for a specified period
When God's term comes, it will not be delayed, if you only knew
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people to warn your people before the painful punishment comes to them
It is the flood that God drowned them in
Noah said to his people
O my people, I am a warner to you, warning you of the punishment of God, so beware of it
And I will give you a clear warning, beware
And I command you to worship God
And fear His punishment by believing in Him and acting in obedience to Him
And do what I command you to do and accept my advice to you
He forgives you and pardons you
And He will delay your lifespan, so He will not destroy you with torment
Not by drowning or anything else
Until he wrote that he would keep you to him
If you obey Him and worship Him
The term of God that He has decreed for His creation is in the Mother of the Book
If he comes there, he should not delay his appointed time
If you knew that was so
We do not intend to obey your Lord
He said, “My Lord, I have called my people day and night.”
My supplication only increased their flight
And whenever I call them, you forgive them
They put their fingers in their ears
And they covered themselves with their clothes
They persisted and were arrogant
Noah said when his people conveyed the message of his Lord
Lord, I have called my people day and night
To your monotheism and worship
And I warned them of your force and your power
My supplication to them only increased their turning away, fleeing, and turning away from Him
Whenever I call them to acknowledge Your Oneness and act in obedience to You
And innocence from worshiping everything other than yourself
To forgive them if they do so
They put their fingers in their ears
So that they do not listen to my calls to do so
And they cover themselves with their clothes and cover themselves with them
So that they do not hear my prayers
They remained steadfast in their state of disbelief and remained in it
They became arrogant and refrained from submitting to the truth
And accept the advice you invited them to
Then I called them openly
Then I announced to them and confided secrets to them
Then I called them to what you commanded me to call them to
Openly, clearly and not secretly
Then I declared to them and declared the warning you commanded me to do
I confided this to them in secret between me and them
So I said, “Ask forgiveness from your Lord, for He is Forgiving.”
Heaven sends rain upon you
And He will provide you with wealth and children, and He will make for you gardens and make for you rivers
What is the matter with you that you do not hope in God with reverence?
He created you in stages
So I said to them, “Ask your Lord for forgiveness of your sins.”
And repent to Him of your disbelief and worship of other gods and monotheism with Him
Worship Him sincerely and He will forgive you
Indeed, He is the Forgiver of the sins of those who repent and repent to Him
Your Lord will give you continuous rain
And with that, your Lord will give you wealth and children
He will multiply it among you and increase what you have of it
And He will provide you with orchards
And He makes for you rivers from which you water your gardens and your farms
Why do you not fear God's greatness?
He created you one moment after another
One stage is a sperm, one stage is a leech, and one stage is an embryo
Have you not seen how God created seven heavens in layers?
He made the moon a light in them and made the sun a lamp
And God made you grow plants from the earth
Then He will return you to it and bring you out
And God has made the earth a carpet for you
That you may follow harsh paths therein
Have you not seen, O people, how God created seven heavens?
Sky above identical sky
And He made the moon a light in the seven heavens
And He made the sun within them a lamp
God created you from the dust of the earth
So He created you from Him, if He willed
Then He will return you to the earth as you were dust
He will make you as you were before He created you
And He will take you out of it if He wishes, alive
And God has made the earth a carpet for you
You settle on it and pave it
To take different difficult paths from it
Noah said, “Lord, they disobeyed me and followed.”
He whose wealth and children only increase his loss
And they plotted a great scheme
Noah said, “My Lord, my people disobeyed me and disobeyed my command.”
They responded to what I called them to of guidance and guidance
In their disobedience, they followed those who called them to do so
He who has a lot of money and children
The abundance of his wealth and children only increased his loss
Away from God and away from the path
And they plotted a great deception
And they said, “Do not neglect your gods.”
And do not leave a friend or a friend
Nor Suwa', nor Yaghouth, nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr
They have misled many people
And leave not the wrongdoers except astray
These are idols and were worshiped in the time of Noah
They were good people from among the sons of Adam
They had followers who followed their example
When they died
Their companions who followed their example said
If we depicted them, we would be more eager to worship if we remembered them
So they photographed them
When they died
Others came
Satan came to them and said:
They only worshiped them
And with them they receive rain
So they worshiped them
He went astray by worshiping these idols that were created in the images of these people
Many people
And do not increase the wrongdoers' souls in their disbelief in Our verses except in error
Except, of course, in his heart
So that he is not guided to the truth
Because of their sins they were drowned
They were drowned and entered into fire
They did not find any helpers for them besides God
By their sins they were drowned
So they entered Hell
They did not find any helpers for them besides God
Retaliate against those who did this to them
There is no barrier between them and what was done to them
Noah said, “My Lord, do not leave on earth homes for the disbelievers.”
If you leave them, they will mislead your servants
They give birth only to immoral and infidels
And Noah said, “My Lord, do not leave on earth from the disbelievers a dwelling place revolving around the earth.”
He goes and comes there
Indeed, O Lord, you will leave the unbelievers alive on the earth
You did not destroy them with punishment from You
They mislead your servants who have believed in you
They will turn them away from your path
And they give birth only to those who are immoral in your religion and disbelieve in your blessing
Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer
And for believing men and women
And do not increase the wrongdoers except in ruin
Lord, forgive me
And cover my sins and my parents
And for those who enter my mosque and prayer hall in prayer
Confirming the duty you imposed on him
And for those who believe in your monotheism and female believers
The wrongdoers will find themselves in nothing but loss due to their disbelief
