He will shower you with abundant rain,
71:11
supply you with wealth and children, and give you gardens as well as rivers.
71:12
What is the matter with you that you are not in awe of the Majesty of Allah,
71:13
when He truly created you in stages ˹of development˺?1
71:14
Do you not see how Allah created seven heavens, one above the other,
71:15
placing the moon within them as a ˹reflected˺ light, and the sun as a ˹radiant˺ lamp?
71:16
Allah ˹alone˺ caused you1 to grow from the earth like a plant.
71:17
Then He will return you to it, and then simply bring you forth ˹again˺.
71:18
And Allah ˹alone˺ spread out the earth for you
71:19
to walk along its spacious pathways.’”
71:20
˹Eventually,˺ Noah cried, “My Lord! They have certainly persisted in disobeying me, and followed ˹instead˺ those ˹elite˺ whose ˹abundant˺ wealth and children only increase them in loss,
71:21
and who have devised a tremendous plot,
71:22
urging ˹their followers˺, ‘Do not abandon your idols—especially Wadd, Suwâ’, Yaghûth, Ya’ûq, and Nasr.’1
71:23
Those ˹elite˺ have already led many astray. So ˹O Lord˺, only allow the wrongdoers to stray farther away.”
71:24
So because of their sins, they were drowned, then admitted into the Fire. And they found none to help them against Allah.
71:25
Noah had prayed, “My Lord! Do not leave a single disbeliever on earth.
71:26
For if You spare ˹any of˺ them, they will certainly mislead Your servants, and give birth only to ˹wicked˺ sinners, staunch disbelievers.
71:27
My Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and whoever enters my house in faith, and ˹all˺ believing men and women. And increase the wrongdoers only in destruction.”
71:28
