إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَنۡ أَنذِرۡ قَوۡمَكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن یَأۡتِیَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ۝١

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Surely We sent Noah to his people, saying: Warn thy people before there come to them a painful chastisement

innā arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi an andhir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum ʿadhābun alīmu

قَالَ یَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّی لَكُمۡ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینٌ ۝٢

Maulana Muhammad Ali

He said: O my people, surely I am a plain warner to you

qāla yāqawmi innī lakum nadhīrun mubīnu

أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِیعُونِ ۝٣

Maulana Muhammad Ali

That you should serve Allah and keep your duty to Him and obey me -

ani uʿ'budū l-laha wa-ittaqūhu wa-aṭīʿūn

یَغۡفِرۡ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمۡ وَیُؤَخِّرۡكُمۡ إِلَىٰۤ أَجَلࣲ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَاۤءَ لَا یُؤَخَّرُۚ لَوۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٤

Maulana Muhammad Ali

He will forgive you some of your sins and grant you respite to an appointed term. Surely the term of Allah, when it comes, is not postponed. Did you but know

yaghfir lakum min dhunūbikum wayu-akhir'kum ilā ajalin musamman inna ajala l-lahi idhā jāa lā yu-akharu law kuntum taʿlamūn

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّی دَعَوۡتُ قَوۡمِی لَیۡلࣰا وَنَهَارࣰا ۝٥

Maulana Muhammad Ali

He said: My Lord, I have called my people night and day

qāla rabbi innī daʿawtu qawmī laylan wanahāra

فَلَمۡ یَزِدۡهُمۡ دُعَاۤءِیۤ إِلَّا فِرَارࣰا ۝٦

Maulana Muhammad Ali

But my call has only made them flee the more

falam yazid'hum duʿāī illā firāra

وَإِنِّی كُلَّمَا دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ لِتَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ جَعَلُوۤا۟ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمۡ فِیۤ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡشَوۡا۟ ثِیَابَهُمۡ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوا۟ ٱسۡتِكۡبَارࣰا ۝٧

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And whenever I call to them Thou mayest forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are big with pride

wa-innī kullamā daʿawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaʿalū aṣābiʿahum fī ādhānihim wa-is'taghshaw thiyābahum wa-aṣarrū wa-is'takbarū is'tik'bāra

ثُمَّ إِنِّی دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ جِهَارࣰا ۝٨

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Then surely I have called to them aloud

thumma innī daʿawtuhum jihāra

ثُمَّ إِنِّیۤ أَعۡلَنتُ لَهُمۡ وَأَسۡرَرۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِسۡرَارࣰا ۝٩

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Then spoken to them in public and spoken to them in private

thumma innī aʿlantu lahum wa-asrartu lahum is'rāra

فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارࣰا ۝١٠

Maulana Muhammad Ali

So I have said: Ask forgiveness of your Lord; surely He is ever Forgiving

faqul'tu is'taghfirū rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāra

یُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءَ عَلَیۡكُم مِّدۡرَارࣰا ۝١١

Maulana Muhammad Ali

He will send down upon you rain, pouring in abundance

yur'sili l-samāa ʿalaykum mid'rāra

وَیُمۡدِدۡكُم بِأَمۡوَ ٰلࣲ وَبَنِینَ وَیَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَیَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ أَنۡهَـٰرࣰا ۝١٢

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers

مَّا لَكُمۡ لَا تَرۡجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارࣰا ۝١٣

Maulana Muhammad Ali

What is the matter with you that you hope not for greatness from Allah

mā lakum lā tarjūna lillahi waqāra

وَقَدۡ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَطۡوَارًا ۝١٤

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And indeed He has created you by various stages

waqad khalaqakum aṭwāra

Maulana Muhammad Ali

See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens alike

alam taraw kayfa khalaqa l-lahu sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqa

وَجَعَلَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ فِیهِنَّ نُورࣰا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجࣰا ۝١٦

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp

wajaʿala l-qamara fīhinna nūran wajaʿala l-shamsa sirāja

وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ نَبَاتࣰا ۝١٧

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth as a growth

wal-lahu anbatakum mina l-arḍi nabāta

ثُمَّ یُعِیدُكُمۡ فِیهَا وَیُخۡرِجُكُمۡ إِخۡرَاجࣰا ۝١٨

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِسَاطࣰا ۝١٩

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And Allah has made the earth a wide expanse for you

wal-lahu jaʿala lakumu l-arḍa bisāṭa

لِّتَسۡلُكُوا۟ مِنۡهَا سُبُلࣰا فِجَاجࣰا ۝٢٠

Maulana Muhammad Ali

That you may go along therein in spacious paths

litaslukū min'hā subulan fijāja

قَالَ نُوحࣱ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمۡ عَصَوۡنِی وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمۡ یَزِدۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥۤ إِلَّا خَسَارࣰا ۝٢١

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Noah said: My Lord, surely they disobey me and follow him whose wealth and children have increased him in naught but loss

qāla nūḥun rabbi innahum ʿaṣawnī wa-ittabaʿū man lam yazid'hu māluhu wawaladuhu illā khasāra

وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكۡرࣰا كُبَّارࣰا ۝٢٢

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And they have planned a mighty plan

wamakarū makran kubbāra

وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدࣰّا وَلَا سُوَاعࣰا وَلَا یَغُوثَ وَیَعُوقَ وَنَسۡرࣰا ۝٢٣

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And they say: Forsake not your gods; nor forsake Wadd, nor Suwa’, nor Yaghuth and Ya’uq and Nasr

waqālū lā tadharunna ālihatakum walā tadharunna waddan walā suwāʿan walā yaghūtha wayaʿūqa wanasra

وَقَدۡ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِیرࣰاۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ إِلَّا ضَلَـٰلࣰا ۝٢٤

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And indeed they have led many astray. And increase Thou the wrongdoers in naught but perdition

waqad aḍallū kathīran walā tazidi l-ẓālimīna illā ḍalāla

مِّمَّا خَطِیۤءَـٰتِهِمۡ أُغۡرِقُوا۟ فَأُدۡخِلُوا۟ نَارࣰا فَلَمۡ یَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارࣰا ۝٢٥

Maulana Muhammad Ali

Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter Fire, so they found no helpers besides Allah

mimmā khaṭīātihim ugh'riqū fa-ud'khilū nāran falam yajidū lahum min dūni l-lahi anṣāra

Maulana Muhammad Ali

And Noah said: My Lord, leave not of the disbelievers any dweller on the land

waqāla nūḥun rabbi lā tadhar ʿalā l-arḍi mina l-kāfirīna dayyāra

إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرۡهُمۡ یُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا یَلِدُوۤا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرࣰا كَفَّارࣰا ۝٢٧

Maulana Muhammad Ali

For if Thou leave them, they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immortal, ungrateful ones

innaka in tadharhum yuḍillū ʿibādaka walā yalidū illā fājiran kaffāra

رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِی وَلِوَ ٰلِدَیَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَیۡتِیَ مُؤۡمِنࣰا وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ إِلَّا تَبَارَۢا ۝٢٨

Maulana Muhammad Ali

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women. And increase not the wrongdoers in aught but destruction
