AYAT	TRANSLATION
1	إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
	Indeed We sent Nooh towards his people saying that, “Warn your people before the painful punishment comes upon them.”
2	قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
	He said, “O my people! I am indeed a Herald of clear warnings to you.”
3	أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
	“That you must worship Allah and fear Him, and obey me.”
4	يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
	“He will forgive you some of your sins, and give you respite up to an appointed term; indeed the promise of Allah cannot be averted when it arrives; if only you knew.”
5	قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
	He said, “My Lord! I invited my people night and day.”
6	فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا
	“So for them, my calling them increased their fleeing away.”
7	وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا
	“And whenever I called them, so that You may forgive them, they always thrust their fingers into their ears, and covered themselves with their clothes, and remained stubborn and were extremely haughty.”
8	ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
	“I then called them openly.”
9	ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
	“Then I also told them publicly and also spoke to them softly in private.”
10	فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
	“I therefore told them, ‘Seek forgiveness from your Lord; He is indeed Most Forgiving.’
11	يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
	‘He will send down abundant rain for you from the sky.’
12	وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
	‘And will aid you with wealth and sons, and will create gardens for you and cause rivers to flow for you.’
13	مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
	‘What is the matter with you, that you do not desire honour from Allah?’
14	وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
	‘Whereas it is He Who created you in different stages?’
15	أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا
	‘Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens atop each other?’
16	وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
	‘And in them, has illuminated the moon, and made the sun a lamp?’
17	وَاللَّهُ أَنبَتَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
	‘And it is Allah Who made you grow like vegetation from the earth.’
18	ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
	‘And He will then take you back to it, and again remove you from it.”
19	وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
	‘And it is Allah Who made the earth a bed for you.’
20	لِّتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
	‘So that you may tread the wide roads in it.’”
21	قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي وَاتَّبَعُوا مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
	Prayed Nooh, “O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, and they follow the one whose wealth and children increase nothing for him except ruin.”
22	وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
	“And they carried out a very sinister scheme.”
23	وَقَالُوا لَا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
	“And they said, ‘Do not ever abandon your Gods – and never abandon Wadd, or Suwa – or Yaghuth or Yauq or Nasr.’”
24	وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا
	“And they have misled a large number; and (I pray that) You increase nothing for the unjust except error.”
25	مِّمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
	Because of their sins they were drowned and then put into the fire; so they did not find any supporter for themselves against Allah. (Punishment in the grave is proven by this verse.)
26	وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
	And prayed Nooh, “O my Lord! Do not leave any of the disbelievers dwelling in the land.”
27	إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
	“Indeed, if You spare them, they will mislead your bondmen – and their descendants, if any, will be none except the wicked, very ungrateful.”
28	رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا
	“O my Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and the believers who are in my house, and all other Muslim men and Muslim women; and do not increase anything for the unjust except ruin.”
