71-1 : Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

71-2 : He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,

71-3 : [Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.

71-4 : Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "

71-5 : He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

71-6 : But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

71-7 : And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

71-8 : Then I invited them publicly.

71-9 : Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

71-10 : And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

71-11 : He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

71-12 : And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

71-13 : What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

71-14 : While He has created you in stages?

71-15 : Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers

71-16 : And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

71-17 : And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

71-18 : Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

71-19 : And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

71-20 : That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "

71-21 : Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

71-22 : And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

71-23 : And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.

71-24 : And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

71-25 : Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.

71-26 : And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

71-27 : Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

71-28 : My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
