3. “That you should worship Allah (Alone), be dutiful to Him, and obey me,

4. “He (Allah) will forgive you of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Verily, the term of Allah when it comes, cannot be delayed, if you but knew.”

5. He said: “O my Lord! Verily, I have called my people night and day (i.e. secretly and openly to accept the doctrine of Islamic Monotheism) ,

6. “But all my calling added nothing but to (their) flight (from the truth).

7. “And verily! Every time I called unto them that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, and persisted (in their refusal), and magnified themselves in pride.

8. “Then verily, I called to them openly (aloud);

9. “Then verily, I proclaimed to them in public, and I have appealed to them in private,

10. “I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving;

11. ‘He will send rain to you in abundance;

12. ‘And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’ “

13. What is the matter with you, [that you fear not Allah (His punishment), and] you hope not for reward (from Allah or you believe not in His Oneness).

14. While He has created you in (different) stages [i.e. first Nutfah, then ‘Alaqah and then Mudghah, see (V.23:13,14) the Qur’an].

15. See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,

16. And has made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?

17. And Allah has brought you forth from the (dust of) earth. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.29, Page 97].

22. “And they have plotted a mighty plot.

23. “And they have said: ‘You shall not leave your gods, nor shall you leave Wadd, nor Suwa’, nor Yaghuth, nor Ya’uq, nor Nasr (names of the idols);

24. “And indeed they have led many astray. And (O Allah): ‘Grant no increase to the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers, etc.) save error.’ “

25. Because of their sins they were drowned, then were made to enter the Fire, and they found none to help them instead of Allah.

26. And Nuh (Noah) said: “My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth!

28. “My Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and him who enters my home as a believer, and all the believing men and women. And to the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers, etc.) grant You no increase but destruction!”

Narrated Ibn `Abbas (radiAllahu Anhu) :

All the idols which were worshiped by the people of Noah were worshiped by the Arabs later on. As for the idol Wadd, it was worshiped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal; Suwa` was the idol of (the tribe of) Hudhail; Yaghouth was worshiped by (the tribe of) Murad and then by Bani Ghutaif at Al-Jurf near Saba; Ya`uq was the idol of Hamdan, and Nasr was the idol of Himyar, the branch of Dhi-al-Kala`. The names (of the idols) formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people to (prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names. The people did so, but the idols were not worshiped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshiping them.

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، وَقَالَ، عَطَاءٌعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ صَارَتِ الأَوْثَانُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي قَوْمِ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَرَبِ بَعْدُ، أَمَّا وُدٌّ كَانَتْ لِكَلْبٍ بِدَوْمَةِ الْجَنْدَلِ، وَأَمَّا سُوَاعٌ كَانَتْ لِهُذَيْلٍ، وَأَمَّا يَغُوثُ فَكَانَتْ لِمُرَادٍ ثُمَّ لِبَنِي غُطَيْفٍ بِالْجُرُفِ عِنْدَ سَبَا، وَأَمَّا يَعُوقُ فَكَانَتْ لِهَمْدَانَ، وَأَمَّا نَسْرٌ فَكَانَتْ لِحِمْيَرَ، لآلِ ذِي الْكَلاَعِ‏.‏ أَسْمَاءُ رِجَالٍ صَالِحِينَ مِنْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ، فَلَمَّا هَلَكُوا أَوْحَى الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ أَنِ انْصِبُوا إِلَى مَجَالِسِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا يَجْلِسُونَ أَنْصَابًا، وَسَمُّوهَا بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ فَفَعَلُوا فَلَمْ تُعْبَدْ حَتَّى إِذَا هَلَكَ أُولَئِكَ وَتَنَسَّخَ الْعِلْمُ عُبِدَتْ‏.‏

13. They will carry their own loads, and other loads with their own. And they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they used to fabricate.

14. We sent Noah to his people, and He stayed among them for a thousand years minus fifty years. Then the Deluge swept them; for they were wrongdoers. 15. But We saved him, together with the company of the Ark, and We made it a sign for all peoples.

16. And Abraham, when he said to his people, “Worship God, and fear Him. That is better for you, if you only knew.

17. You worship idols besides God, and you fabricate falsehoods. Those you worship, instead of God, cannot provide you with livelihood. So seek your livelihood from God, and worship Him, and thank Him. To Him you will be returned.” 18. If you disbelieve, communities before you have also disbelieved. The Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.

19. Have they not seen how Allah/ God originates the creation, and then reproduces it? This is easy for God.

20. Say, “Roam the earth, and observe how He originated the creation.” Then God will bring about the next existence. God has power over all things.”

Surah Nuh/ Noah in Quran Kareem – translation

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1. We sent Noah to his people: “Warn your people before there comes upon them a painful punishment.” 2. He said, “O my people, I am to you a clear warner.

3. Worship God and reverence Him, and obey me. 4. And 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.”

5. He said, “My Lord, I have called my people night and day.6. But my call added only to their flight. 7. Whenever 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. 8. Then I called them openly. 9. Then I appealed to them publicly, and I spoke to them privately.

10. I said, ‘Ask your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving. 11. He will let loose the sky upon you in torrents. 12. And provide you with wealth and children, and allot for you gardens, and allot for you rivers.

13. What is the matter with you, that you do not appreciate God’s Greatness? 14. Although He created you in stages. 15. Do you not realize that God created seven heavens in layers? 16. And He set the moon in their midst for light, and He made the sun a lamp. 17. And God germinated you from the earth like plants. 18. Then He will return you into it, and will bring you out again.

19. And God made the earth a spread for you. 20. That you may travel its diverse roads.’”

21. Noah said, “My Lord, they have defied me, and followed him whose wealth and children increase him only in perdition.” 22. And they schemed outrageous schemes. 23. And they said, “Do not give up your gods; do not give up Wadd, nor Souwa, nor Yaghoos, and Yaooq, and Nassr. 24. They have misled many, so do not increase the wrongdoers except in confusion.”

25. Because of their wrongs, they were drowned, and were hurled into a Fire. They did not find apart from God any helpers.

26. Noah said, “My Lord, do not leave of the unbelievers a single dweller on earth. 27. If You leave them, they will mislead your servants, and will breed only wicked unbelievers. 28. My Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and anyone who enters my home in faith, and all the believing men and believing women; and do not increase the wrongdoers except in perdition.”
