وَهِيَ تَجري بِهِم في مَوجٍ كَالجِبالِ وَنادىٰ نوحٌ ابنَهُ وَكانَ في مَعزِلٍ يا بُنَيَّ اركَب مَعَنا وَلا تَكُن مَعَ الكافِرينَ

And so, it sailed with them amidst waves as mountains. Noah called out to his son, who was separate from them, “O my son, come aboard with us, and don’t be with the unbelievers.”

قالَ سَآوي إِلىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعصِمُني مِنَ الماءِ ۚ قالَ لا عاصِمَ اليَومَ مِن أَمرِ اللَّهِ إِلّا مَن رَحِمَ ۚ وَحالَ بَينَهُمَا المَوجُ فَكانَ مِنَ المُغرَقينَ

He replied, “I will seek refuge on a mountain; it will protect me from the water.” He said, “Today, there is no protection against God’s decree, except for those who receive His mercy.” And the waves surged between them, and he was among the drowned.

وَقيلَ يا أَرضُ ابلَعي ماءَكِ وَيا سَماءُ أَقلِعي وَغيضَ الماءُ وَقُضِيَ الأَمرُ وَاستَوَت عَلَى الجودِيِّ ۖ وَقيلَ بُعدًا لِلقَومِ الظّالِمينَ

Then the command was issued, “O Earth, absorb your water,” and “O Sky, clear away.” The water receded, the event was concluded, and it settled on Mount Judi. And it was declared, “Away with the wrongdoing people!”

وَنادىٰ نوحٌ رَبَّهُ فَقالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ابني مِن أَهلي وَإِنَّ وَعدَكَ الحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحكَمُ الحاكِمينَ

Noah called out to his Lord, and said, “My Lord, my son is of my family. Your promise is true, and You are the most fair of all judges.”

قالَ يا نوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيسَ مِن أَهلِكَ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيرُ صالِحٍ ۖ فَلا تَسأَلنِ ما لَيسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلمٌ ۖ إِنّي أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكونَ مِنَ الجاهِلينَ

He responded, “O Noah, he is not of your family; he is of unrighteous conduct. Don’t ask Me about what you don’t know. I admonish you so that you don’t be among the ignorant.”

قيلَ يا نوحُ اهبِط بِسَلامٍ مِنّا وَبَرَكاتٍ عَلَيكَ وَعَلىٰ أُمَمٍ مِمَّن مَعَكَ ۚ وَأُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُم ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِنّا عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

It was said, “O Noah, disembark in peace from Us, and blessings upon you, and upon nations who are with you. But to other nations, we will give enjoyment for a time, then from us will come a severe punishment.”

تِلكَ مِن أَنباءِ الغَيبِ نوحيها إِلَيكَ ۖ ما كُنتَ تَعلَمُها أَنتَ وَلا قَومُكَ مِن قَبلِ هـٰذا ۖ فَاصبِر ۖ إِنَّ العاقِبَةَ لِلمُتَّقينَ

These are some of the accounts of the unseen, which We reveal to you. Neither you nor your people knew them before this. So, be patient. The ultimate outcome is for the righteous.

وَإِلىٰ عادٍ أَخاهُم هودًا ۚ قالَ يا قَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلـٰهٍ غَيرُهُ ۖ إِن أَنتُم إِلّا مُفتَرونَ

To Aad, their brother Hud. He said, “O my people, worship God; you have no god other than Him. You but invent lies.”

يا قَومِ لا أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ أَجرًا ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلَى الَّذي فَطَرَني ۚ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

“O my people, I ask for no compensation from you. My reward is only from the One who originated me. Don’t you understand?”

وَيا قَومِ استَغفِروا رَبَّكُم ثُمَّ توبوا إِلَيهِ يُرسِلِ السَّماءَ عَلَيكُم مِدرارًا وَيَزِدكُم قُوَّةً إِلىٰ قُوَّتِكُم وَلا تَتَوَلَّوا مُجرِمينَ

“O my people, seek forgiveness from your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance. He will send abundant rain from the sky and will increase your strength, and you should not return to your wrongdoing.”
