SENT NOAH to his people to warn them before the painful punishment came upon them
He said: "O my people, I warn you clearly
That you should worship God and fear Him, and follow m
That He may forgive some of your sins and prolong your term till an appointed time. Surely when God's appointed time is come it will not be put off, if only you knew
He said: "O Lord, I called my people night and day
But the more I called, they only ran the farther away
And every time I called them that You may forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and covered themselves with their garments, and became wayward, and behaved with downright insolence
Then I called them loudly and more openly
And declared to them in public and in private
And I told them: 'Ask your Lord to forgive you. He is verily forgiving
He will send you abundant rain from the sky
And will give you increase of wealth and sons, and give you gardens and springs of water
What has come upon you that you do not fear the majesty of God
Knowing that He has created you by various stages
Do you not see how God has fashioned seven skies one above the other
And has placed the moon therein, an illumination, and has placed the sun, a lighted lamp
God produced you from the earth like a vegetable growth
He will then return you back to it, and bring you out again
God has made the earth for you a spreading
So that you may walk upon its spacious paths.
But they did not listen to me," Noah said, "and followed him whose wealth and children only added to his ruin
And they contrived a plot of great magnitude
And said: 'Do not abandon your gods, and do not abandon Wadda or Suwa', or Yaghuth, Ya'uq or Nasr.
And they misled many. So do not give the evil-doers increase but in error
They were drowned because of their habitual sinfulness, and sent to Hell, and did not find any helper other than God
Noah said: "O Lord, do not leave a single habitation of unbelievers on the earth
If you leave them, they will lead Your creatures astray, and beget but iniquitous and ungrateful offspring
O Lord, forgive me, my parents, and any one who enters my house as a believer, and all believing men and women, and do not give the evil-doers increase save in ruin
