Indeed We, We sent Noah to his people that, 'Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment.'
He said, 'O my people! indeed, I am a clear warner to you,
That, “Serve God and fear Him and obey me.”
He will forgive you of your sins, and will defer you to a named term; Indeed, the term of God when it comes will not be deferred, if only you know.'
He said, 'My Lord! Indeed I, I called my people night and day,
But then my call did not increase them except in fleeing.
And indeed I, every time I called them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears and covered themselves with their garments and persisted and were proud, being haughty.
Then indeed I, I called them loudly,
Then indeed I, I published to them and I spoke secretly to them, concealing.
Then I said, "Ask your Lord for forgiveness; indeed, He is very forgiving.
He will send the sky upon you pouring abundantly,
And He will extend you with wealth and children and He will make for you gardens and He will make for you rivers.
What ails you, you hope not to God for gravity?
And certainly, He created you in stages.
Did you not see how God created seven heavens one above another,
And He made the moon in them, a light, and He made the sun, a lamp?
And God made you grow from the earth, plants.
Then He will return you into it and He will bring you forth, an expelling.
And God made for you the earth, a carpet,
That you may go along of it in wide ways."'
Noah said, 'My Lord! Indeed they, they have rebelled against me and they have followed one who his wealth and his children did not increase him except in loss.
And they have plotted a great plot,
And they said, "Do not leave your gods, and do not leave Wadd nor Suwa nor Yaghuth and Yauq and Nasr."
And certainly, they have caused many to go astray. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in error.'
Because of their sins they were drowned and made to enter fire; and they did not find helpers for them besides God.
And Noah said, 'My Lord! Do not leave upon the earth an inhabitant of the disbelievers.
Indeed You, if You leave them, they will cause Your servants to go astray and they will not beget except a liar, a disbeliever.
My Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and whoever entered my house a believer, and the believers, men and women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction.'
