Surah Nooh - Aya count 28
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
( 1 ) 
Behold, We sent Noah unto his nation, "Warn your people before an awful doom comes to them."
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
( 2 ) He said, "O My people! Behold, I am a plain Warner to you.
أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
( 3 ) That you serve Allah and be mindful of Him. Now, do pay heed to me.
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
( 4 ) He will then protect you from the detriment of trailing behind in humanity and respite you until a term appointed. Behold, when the term appointed by Allah comes, it cannot be delayed - if you but knew this (Law)."
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
( 5 ) He said, "My Lord! Verily, I have been calling unto my people night and day.
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا
( 6 ) But my call only increases their fleeing.
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا
( 7 ) And, behold, whenever I call unto them to be forgiven by You, they thrust their fingers in their ears - and veil themselves in their garments. And they persist in this behavior glorifying themselves in pride. (11:5).
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
( 8 ) And, behold, then I called unto them aloud.
ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
( 9 ) And, behold, I addressed them in gatherings and spoke to them individually in private."
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
( 10 ) And I have said, "Seek forgiveness of your Lord. Behold, He is ever Forgiving.
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
( 11 ) He will shower upon you heavenly blessings.
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
( 12 ) And will help you with goods and riches and flourishing families, and will grant you gardens and will bestow upon you flowing rivulets."
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
( 13 ) What is the matter with you that you seek not for dignity toward Allah? (His Laws can give you dignity and eminence).
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
( 14 ) Knowing that He has created you in successive stages.
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا
( 15 ) Don't you realize how Allah has created the seven heavens in great harmony?
وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
( 16 ) And made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a radiant lamp.
وَاللَّهُ أَنبَتَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
( 17 ) And Allah has caused you to grow as a growth from the earth.
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
( 18 ) Then He returns you into the earth and He will bring you forth again, a new bringing.
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
( 19 ) And Allah has made the earth a wide expanse for you.
لِّتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
( 20 ) That you may travel thereon on spacious valley-ways.
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي وَاتَّبَعُوا مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
( 21 ) Then Noah said, "My Lord! Behold, they have opposed me throughout, for they follow him whose wealth and children have led him increasingly into ruin.
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
( 22 ) And they plot tremendous schemes.
وَقَالُوا لَا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
( 23 ) And keep telling one another, "Do not abandon your gods! And forsake not Wadd, nor Suw'a, nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr."
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا
( 24 ) And they have thus led a great many people astray (and divided them). And Your Laws let go more and more astray those who displace Truth with falsehood."
مِّمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
( 25 ) And so, because of faults upon faults, they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found out that they had no helpers besides Allah. (Made to enter: Before Allah is Eternal Now. The past tense also indicates the inevitable outcome).
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
( 26 ) And Noah said, "My Lord! Leave not any of these rejecters to dwell in this valley.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
( 27 ) If you should leave them, they will mislead Your servants and they will only beget division and ingratitude.
رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا
( 28 ) My Lord! Grant unto me the protection of forgiveness and unto my parents and whoever enters my house in Faith, and unto all the believing men and the believing women (of all times). And increase the oppressors in nothing but ruin of their evil schemes."
