71:1We sent Noah to his people: “Warn your people before there comes upon them a painful punishment.”

71:2He said, “O my people, I am to you a clear warner.

71:4And He will forgive you of your sins, and reprieve you until a stated term. God’s term cannot be deferred once it has arrived, if you only knew.”

71:7Whenever I called them to Your forgiveness, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and wrapped themselves in their garments, and insisted, and became more and more arrogant.

71:10I said, ‘Ask your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving.

71:11He will let loose the sky upon you in torrents.

71:12And provide you with wealth and children, and allot for you gardens, and allot for you rivers.

71:13What is the matter with you, that you do not appreciate God’s Greatness?

71:14Although He created you in stages.

71:15Do you not realize that God created seven heavens in layers?

71:17And God germinated you from the earth like plants.

71:18Then He will return you into it, and will bring you out again.

71:19And God made the earth a spread for you.

71:20That you may travel its diverse roads.’”

71:23And they said, “Do not give up your gods; do not give up Wadd, nor Souwa, nor Yaghoos, and Yaooq, and Nassr.

71:27If You leave them, they will mislead your servants, and will breed only wicked unbelievers.
