Nuh
The More He Calls, the More They Flee
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Indeed, We sent Nuh to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭHe said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner: obey God, guard yourselves before Him, and obey me. He will forgive you some of your wrongs and delay you for a specified term.
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّىIndeed, the term of God, when it comes, cannot be delayed, if you only knew."
إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَHe said, "My Guardian, indeed I have called my people night and day, but my call has only increased them in flight.
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًۭا وَنَهَارًۭا فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًۭاAnd indeed, every time I called them, that You might forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with great arrogance."
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًۭا"Then I called them openly.
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًۭاThen I announced to them publicly and confided to them privately, and said: Ask forgiveness of your Guardian; indeed, He is ever a Great Forgiver. He will send rain from the sky upon you in abundance, and provide you with goods and sons, and give you gardens, and give you rivers.
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًۭا فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًۭاWhat is with you, that you do not attribute to God due majesty, when He has created you in successive stages?
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًۭا وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًاDo you not see how God has created seven heavens in layers, and made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a torch?
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًۭا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًۭاAnd God has caused you to grow from the earth as a growth. Then He will return you into it and bring you out a new emergence.
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًۭا ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًۭاAnd God has made for you the earth an expanse, that you may follow therein wide roads.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًۭا لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًۭا فِجَاجًۭاNuh said, "My Guardian, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose goods and children increased him not except in loss, and they have plotted a great plot,
قَالَ نُوحٌۭ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًۭا وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًۭا كُبَّارًۭا- 71:23ورش
and said: Never leave your deities, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr."
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّۭا وَلَا سُوَاعًۭا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًۭا And they have already led many astray.
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًۭاAnd do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."
وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًۭا- 71:25الدوريالسوسي
Because of their sins they were drowned and put into a fire, and they found none besides God to help them.
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًۭا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًۭا And Nuh said, "My Guardian, leave not upon the earth, among the disowners, any dweller.
وَقَالَ نُوحٌۭ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًاIf You leave them, they will mislead Your obedient ones and will not beget except wicked ones, great disowners."
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًۭا كَفَّارًۭا"My Guardian, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer, and the believing men and believing women,
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًۭا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِand do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا
