|
|
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
|
1- |
We indeed sent Noah to his people, with the
order: “Warn your people (against their misdeeds) before a painful torment comes to them”. |
|
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
2- |
He said: “O my people, truly I am a warner to you, explaining (the Truth) “ |
|
أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ |
|
3- |
"That you should worship God and be conscious of Him and obey me”. |
|
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاء لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ |
|
4- |
“He will forgive you of your sins and will give you further time (for your improving yourselves) until a set time. Of course God’s appointed time, when it arrives, it can not be postponed, if you only would realize it”. |
|
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا |
|
5- |
He (later on) said: “O my Lord, I indeed called and invited my people night and day”. |
|
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا |
|
6- |
“But all my calling did not add anything but to their flight (from the truth)”. |
|
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا |
|
7- |
“And in fact every time I called them (to
become righteous) so that
You might forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears and covered themselves with their clothes, and persisted in refusing and magnified themselves arrogantly”. |
|
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا |
|
8- |
“Then I called them really aloud”. |
|
ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا |
|
9- |
“Later I informed them in public and in private”. |
|
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا |
|
10- |
“And I said to them: "Ask forgiveness from your Lord, since He is Very Forgiving”. |
|
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاء عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا |
|
11- |
“He will send plenty of rain down for you”. |
|
وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا |
|
12- |
“And He gives you help with wealth and children and provides you with gardens and streams and rivers”. |
|
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا |
|
13- |
“What is the matter with you that you don’t hope and recognize God’s Majesty” |
|
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا |
|
14- |
“Whereas He created you in so many different ways and stages’. |
|
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا |
|
15- |
“Don’t you realize how God created the seven skies in layers, one above the other?”. 1 |
|
وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا |
|
16- |
“And He placed the moon in there as a light-reflection and made the sun a lamp (the source of the light)”. 2 |
|
وَاللَّهُ أَنبَتَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا |
|
17- |
“And God brought you up similar to a plant from the earth". |
|
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا |
|
18- |
“Afterwards He will return you into it and (on the Day of Resurrection,) He brings you all out of it again”. |
|
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا |
|
19- |
“And God made the earth a wide place for you”. |
|
لِتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا |
|
20- |
“So that you may go about and find broad ways on it”. |
|
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي وَاتَّبَعُوا مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلَّا خَسَارًا |
|
21- |
Noah said: “My Lord, they have disobeyed me
and followed somebody else, whose wealth and children did not add anything to him but loss”. |
|
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا |
|
22- |
“And they designed a major plot”. |
|
وَقَالُوا لَا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا |
|
23- |
And they said: “You should not abandon your
gods, nor should you abandon (the idols) Wadd, nor Suwa, nor Yaoghuth, nor Yaoogh, nor Nasr. |
|
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا |
|
24- |
(Noah begged God saying: please my Lord,) They indeed misled many people, so please do not allow these wrongdoing disbelievers to do nothing but adding to disbelief and straying from the truth. |
|
مِمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنصَارًا |
|
25- |
Because of their wrongdoing, they were
drowned, ultimately they are forced to enter the Fire and they don’t find any helper other than God. |
|
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا |
|
26- |
And Noah had said: “My Lord, please do not leave any disbelievers on earth alive”. |
|
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا |
|
27- |
“Since if You leave them, they mislead Your servants and they produce only wicked disbelievers”. |
|
رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا |
|
28- |
“O my Lord, please forgive me, my parents
and all those who entered my home as believers and all the believing men and believing women and increase nothing to the unjust people but destruction”. |

Footnotes |
1-
This verse and statement is another miracle of the Quran since at
the time of prophet Muhammad and more than 14 centuries ago, nobody
knew that our our sky has seven layers, this is something that we
only learned it in the last century.
2-
This is another miracle of the Quran, since at that time nobody knew
that the sun is the true lamp and source of light and that the moon has
been only a reflector of that light.
