We sent Noah to his people: ‘Warn your people, before a painful punishment comes to them.’
And so he said, ‘My people, I am here to warn you plainly
Serve God, be mindful of Him and obey me
He will forgive you your sins and spare you until your appointed time––when God’s appointed time arrives it cannot be postponed. If only you understood!’
He said, ‘My Lord, I have called my people night and day
but the more I call them, the further they run away
every time I call them, so that You may forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, cover their heads with their garments, persist in their rejection, and grow more insolent and arrogant
I have tried calling them openly
I have tried preaching to them in public and speaking to them in private
I said, “Ask forgiveness of your Lord: He is ever forgiving
He will send down abundant rain from the sky for you
He will give you wealth and sons; He will provide you with gardens and rivers
What is the matter with you? Why will you not fear God’s majesty
when He has created you stage by stage
Have you ever wondered how God created seven heavens, one above the other
placed the moon as a light in them and the sun as a lamp
how God made you spring forth from the earth like a plant
how He will return you into it and then bring you out again
and how He has spread the Earth out for you
to walk along its spacious paths?” ’
Noah said, ‘My Lord, they have disobeyed me and followed those whose riches and children only increase their ruin
who have made a grand plan
saying, “Do not renounce your gods
Do not renounce Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Yauq, or Nasr!” They have led many astray. Lord, bring nothing but destruction down on the evildoers!’
They were drowned and sent to Hell for their evildoings: they found no one to help them against God
And Noah said, ‘Lord, do not leave any of the disbelievers on the earth
if you leave them they will lead Your servants astray and beget only sinners and disbelievers
Lord, forgive me, my parents, and whoever enters my house as a believer. Forgive believing men and women but bring nothing but ruin down on the evildoers!’
