Surah Nuh (نوح)

Noah · Meccan · 28 ayahs · Juz 29

• 71:1

  إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

  Verily We sent Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام (as a Nabi) to his nation instructing him, “Warn your people (against committing Shirk) before a painful punishment afflicts them."

• 71:2

  قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

  He (Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام) said, "O my people! Indeed I am a clear (obvious, definite) warner to you."

• 71:3

  أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ

  "Worship Allaah, fear Him and obey me (in belief and action)."

• 71:4

  يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

  “Allaah will then forgive your sins and grant you respite (will not punish you and will allow you to live) until a specified period (the time when your death is destined). Verily, when Allaah's specified period (the time for your death) arrives, it is not delayed. If only you knew (the truth of this, you would accept immediately)."

• 71:5

  قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا

  (However, besides a limited few people, the rest of his nation rejected his message despite his tireless efforts. When he grew frustrated after 950 years of preaching to them,) He said, “O my Rabb! Indeed I called my people (to Towheed) day and night."

• 71:6

  فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

  “However, my calling only made them run further away."

• 71:7

  وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا

  "Whenever I called them so that You may forgive them, they (rejected my message to such an extent that they actually) placed their fingers in their ears (not to hear me), covered themselves with their shawls (so not to even see me), remained implacable (persisted in arrogance) and expressed great pride."
