Sura - 71 Noah
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
	1		[ 71: 1 ] We sent Noah to his people: " You shall warn your people before a painful retribution afflicts them. "
	2		[ 71: 2 ] He said, " O my people, I am a manifest warner to you.
	3		[ 71: 3 ] " To alert you that you shall worship GOD, reverence Him, and obey me.
	4		[ 71: 4 ] " He will then forgive you your sins and respite you for a predetermined period. Most assuredly, GOD's appointment can never be delayed, once it is due, if you only knew. "
	5		[ 71: 5 ] He said, " My Lord, I have invited my people night and day.
	6		[ 71: 6 ] " But my invitation only increased their aversion.
	7		[ 71: 7 ] " Whenever I invited them to be forgiven by You, they placed their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their clothes, insisted, and turned arrogant.
	8		[ 71: 8 ] " Then I invited them publicly.
	9		[ 71: 9 ] " Then I proclaimed to them loudly, and I spoke to them privately.
	10		[ 71: 10 ] " I said, `Implore your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving.
	11		[ 71: 11 ] " `He will then shower you generously with rain.
	12		[ 71: 12 ] " `And provide you with money and children, and orchards, and streams.' "
	13		[ 71: 13 ] Why should you not strive to reverence GOD?
	14		[ 71: 14 ] He is the One who created you in stages.
	15		[ 71: 15 ] Do you not realize that GOD created seven universes in layers?
	16		[ 71: 16 ] He designed the moon therein to be a light, and placed the sun to be a lamp.
	17		[ 71: 17 ] And GOD germinated you from the earth like plants.
	18		[ 71: 18 ] Then He returns you into it, and He will surely bring you out.
	19		[ 71: 19 ] GOD made the earth habitable for you.
	20		[ 71: 20 ] That you may build roads therein.
	21		[ 71: 21 ] Noah said, " My Lord, they disobeyed me, and followed those who were even more corrupted when blessed with money and children.
	22		[ 71: 22 ] " They schemed terrible schemes.
	23		[ 71: 23 ] " They said, `Do not abandon your gods. Do not abandon Wadd, Suwaa`, Yaghouth, Ya`ooq, and Nasr.'
	24		[ 71: 24 ] " They misled many. Therefore, let the wicked plunge deeper into loss. "
	25		[ 71: 25 ] Because of their sins they were drowned and assigned to the hellfire. They found no helpers to protect them from GOD.
	26		[ 71: 26 ] Noah also said, " My Lord, do not leave a single disbeliever on earth.
	27		[ 71: 27 ] " For if you let them, they will only mislead your servants and give birth to nothing but wicked disbelievers.
	28		[ 71: 28 ] " My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and anyone who enters my home as a believer, and all the believing men and women. But do not give the disbelievers anything but annihilation. "
