Quran Verses about Prophet Noah

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنِّي لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٌ ٢٥

Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihī innī lakum nadhīrum mubīn.

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Indeed, I am to you a clear warner

أَن لَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ أَلِيمٖ ٢٦

Al lā taʿbudū illallāh, innī akhāfu ʿalaykum ʿadhāba yawmin alīm.

That you not worship except Allāh. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day."

فَقَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرٗا مِّثۡلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ ٱلرَّأۡيِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا مِن فَضۡلِۭ بَلۡ نَظُنُّكُمۡ كَٰذِبِينَ ٢٧

Faqālal-malaʾul-ladhīna kafarū min qawmihī mā narāka illā basharam mithlanā wa mā narākattabaʿaka illal-ladhīna hum arādhilunā bādiyar-raʾyi wa mā narā lakum ʿalaynā min faḍlim bal naẓunnukum kādhibīn.

So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us [and] at first suggestion.¹ And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars."

قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَءَاتَىٰنِي رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَنُلۡزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمۡ لَهَا كَٰرِهُونَ ٢٨

Qāla yāqawmi araʾaytum in kuntu ʿalā bayyinatim mir rabbī wa ātānī raḥmatam min ʿindihī faʿummiyat ʿalaykum anulzimukumūhā wa antum lahā kārihūn.

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ لَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مَالًاۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُم مُّلَٰقُواْ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلَٰكِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰكُمۡ قَوۡمٗا تَجۡهَلُونَ ٢٩

Wa yāqawmi lā asʾalukum ʿalayhi mālā, in ajriya illā ʿalallāh, wa mā ana biṭāridil-ladhīna āmanū, innahum mulāqū rabbihim wa lākinnī arākum qawman tajhalūn.

And O my people, I ask not of you for it any wealth. My reward is not but from Allāh. And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly.

وَيَٰقَوۡمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٣٠

Wa yāqawmi may yanṣurunī minallāhi in ṭaradttuhum, afalā tadhakkarūn.

And O my people, who would protect me from Allāh if I drove them away? Then will you not be reminded?

وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمۡ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٞ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزۡدَرِيٓ أَعۡيُنُكُمۡ لَن يُؤۡتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيۡرًاۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ إِنِّيٓ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٣١

Wa lā aqūlu lakum ʿindī khazāʾinullāhi wa lā aʿlamul-ghayba wa lā aqūlu innī malakuw wa lā aqūlu lil-ladhīna tazdarī aʿyunukum lay yuʾtiyahumullāhu khayrā, allāhu aʿlamu bimā fī anfusihim innī idhal laminaẓ-ẓālimīn.

And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allāh or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allāh will never grant them any good. Allāh is most knowing of what is within their souls. Indeed, I would then be among the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust]."

قَالُواْ يَٰنُوحُ قَدۡ جَٰدَلۡتَنَا فَأَكۡثَرۡتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ٣٢

Qālū yānūḥu qad jādaltanā fa aktharta jidālanā faʾtinā bimā taʿidunā in kunta minaṣ-ṣādiqīn.

They said, "O Noah, you have disputed [i.e., opposed] us and been frequent in dispute of us. So bring us what you threaten us, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأۡتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ ٣٣

Qāla innamā yaʾtīkum bihillāhu in shāʾa wa mā antum bimuʿjizīn.

He said, "Allāh will only bring it to you if He wills, and you will not cause [Him] failure.

وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمۡ نُصۡحِيٓ إِنۡ أَرَدتُّ أَنۡ أَنصَحَ لَكُمۡ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغۡوِيَكُمۡۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٣٤

Wa lā yanfaʿukum nuṣḥī in aradttu an anṣaḥa lakum in kānallāhu yurīdu ay yughwiyakum, huwa rabbukum wa ilayhi turjaʿūn.

And my advice will not benefit you - although I wished to advise you - if Allāh should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned."

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَنۡ أَنذِرۡ قَوۡمَكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ١

Innā arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihī an andhir qawmaka min qabli ay yaʾtiyahum ʿadhābun alīm.

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّي لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٌ ٢

Qāla yāqawmi innī lakum nadhīrum mubīn.

He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner -

أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ ٣

Aniʿbudullāha wattaqūhu wa aṭīʿūn.

To worship Allāh, fear Him and obey me.

يَغۡفِرۡ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمۡ وَيُؤَخِّرۡكُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُۚ لَوۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٤

Yaghfir lakum min dhunūbikum wa yuʾakhkhirkum ilā ajalim musammā, inna ajalallāhi idhā jāʾa lā yuʾakhkhar, law kuntum taʿlamūn.

He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوۡتُ قَوۡمِي لَيۡلٗا وَنَهَارٗا ٥

Qāla rabbi innī daʿawtu qawmī laylaw wa nahārā.

He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

فَلَمۡ يَزِدۡهُمۡ دُعَآءِيٓ إِلَّا فِرَارٗا ٦

Falam yazidhum duʿāʾī illā firārā.

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].

وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ لِتَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ جَعَلُوٓاْ أَصَٰبِعَهُمۡ فِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡشَوۡاْ ثِيَابَهُمۡ وَأَصَرُّواْ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ ٱسۡتِكۡبَارٗا ٧

Wa innī kullamā daʿawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaʿalū aṣābiʿahum fī ādhānihim wastaghshaw thiyābahum wa aṣarrū wastakbarustikbārā.

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments,¹ persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ جِهَارٗا ٨

Thumma innī daʿawtuhum jihārā.

Then I invited them publicly.

ثُمَّ إِنِّيٓ أَعۡلَنتُ لَهُمۡ وَأَسۡرَرۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِسۡرَارٗا ٩

Thumma innī aʿlantu lahum wa asrartu lahum isrārā.

Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارٗا ١٠

Faqultustaghfirū rabbakum innahū kāna ghaffārā.

And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

يُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّدۡرَارٗا ١١

Yursilis-samāʾa ʿalaykum midrārā.

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

وَيُمۡدِدۡكُم بِأَمۡوَٰلٖ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ أَنۡهَٰرٗا ١٢

Wa yumdidkum biʾamwāliw wa banīna wa yajʿal lakum jannātiw wa yajʿal lakum anhārā.

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

مَّا لَكُمۡ لَا تَرۡجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارٗا ١٣

Mā lakum lā tarjūna lillāhi waqārā.

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allāh [due] grandeur

وَقَدۡ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَطۡوَارًا ١٤

Wa qad khalaqakum aṭwārā.

While He has created you in stages?¹

أَلَمۡ تَرَوۡاْ كَيۡفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ طِبَاقٗا ١٥

Alam taraw kayfa khalaqallāhu sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqā.

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers¹

وَجَعَلَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجٗا ١٦

Wa jaʿalal-qamara fīhinna nūraw wa jaʿalash-shamsa sirājā.

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ نَبَاتٗا ١٧

Wallāhu anbatakum minal-arḍi nabātā.

And Allāh has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمۡ فِيهَا وَيُخۡرِجُكُمۡ إِخۡرَاجٗا ١٨

Thumma yuʿīdukum fīhā wa yukhrijukum ikhrājā.

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِسَاطٗا ١٩

Wallāhu jaʿala lakumul-arḍa bisāṭā.

And Allāh has made for you the earth an expanse

لِّتَسۡلُكُواْ مِنۡهَا سُبُلٗا فِجَاجٗا ٢٠

Litaslukū minhā subulan fijājā.

That you may follow therein roads of passage.'"

قَالَ نُوحٞ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمۡ عَصَوۡنِي وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَن لَّمۡ يَزِدۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارٗا ٢١

Qāla nūḥur rabbi innahum ʿaṣawnī wattabaʿū mal lam yazidhu māluhū wa waladuhū illā khasārā.

Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

وَمَكَرُواْ مَكۡرٗا كُبَّارٗا ٢٢

Wa makarū makran kubbārā.

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

وَقَالُواْ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدّٗا وَلَا سُوَاعٗا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسۡرٗا ٢٣

Wa qālū lā tadharunna ālihatakum wa lā tadharunna waddaw wa lā suwāʿaw wa lā yaghūtha wa yaʿūqa wa nasrā.

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwāʿ or Yaghūth and Yaʿūq and Nasr.'¹

وَقَدۡ أَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرٗاۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلٗا ٢٤

Wa qad aḍallū kathīrā, wa lā tazidiẓ-ẓālimīna illā ḍalālā.

And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمۡ أُغۡرِقُواْ فَأُدۡخِلُواْ نَارٗا فَلَمۡ يَجِدُواْ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارٗا ٢٥

Mimmā khaṭīʾātihim ughriqū fa udkhilū nāran falam yajidū lahum min dūnillāhi anṣārā.

Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allāh [any] helpers.

وَقَالَ نُوحٞ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرۡ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا ٢٦

Wa qāla nūḥur rabbi lā tadhar ʿalal-arḍi minal-kāfirīna dayyārā.

And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرۡهُمۡ يُضِلُّواْ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓاْ إِلَّا فَاجِرٗا كَفَّارٗا ٢٧

Innaka in tadharhum yuḍillū ʿibādaka wa lā yalidū illā fājiran kaffārā.

Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِي وَلِوَٰلِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيۡتِيَ مُؤۡمِنٗا وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارَۢا ٢٨

Rabbighfir lī waliwālidayya waliman dakhala baytiya muʾminaw walil-muʾminīna wal-muʾmināt, wa lā tazidiẓ-ẓālimīna illā tabārā.

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

وَأُوحِيَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤۡمِنَ مِن قَوۡمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدۡ ءَامَنَ فَلَا تَبۡتَئِسۡ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ ٣٦

Wa ūḥiya ilā nūḥin annahū lay yuʾmina min qawmika illā man qad āmana falā tabtaʾis bimā kānū yafʿalūn.

And it was revealed to Noah that, "No one will believe from your people except those who have already believed, so do not be distressed by what they have been doing.

وَٱصۡنَعِ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَا وَوَحۡيِنَا وَلَا تُخَٰطِبۡنِي فِي ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ إِنَّهُم مُّغۡرَقُونَ ٣٧

Waṣnaʿil-fulka biʾaʿyuninā wa waḥyinā wa lā tukhāṭibnī fil-ladhīna ẓalamū innahum mughraqūn.

And construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are [to be] drowned."

وَيَصۡنَعُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيۡهِ مَلَأٞ مِّن قَوۡمِهِۦ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُۚ قَالَ إِن تَسۡخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسۡخَرُ مِنكُمۡ كَمَا تَسۡخَرُونَ ٣٨

Wa yaṣnaʿul-fulka wa kullamā marra ʿalayhi malaʾum min qawmihī sakhirū minh, qāla in taskharū minnā fa innā naskharu minkum kamā taskharūn.

And he constructed the ship, and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule.

فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ مَن يَأۡتِيهِ عَذَابٞ يُخۡزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٌ ٣٩

Fasawfa taʿlamūna may yaʾtīhi ʿadhābuy yukhzīhi wa yaḥillu ʿalayhi ʿadhābum muqīm.

And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter]."

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلۡنَا ٱحۡمِلۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ وَمَنۡ ءَامَنَۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ ٤٠

Ḥattā idhā jāʾa amrunā wa fārat-tannūru qulnaḥmil fīhā min kullin zawjaynithnayni wa ahlaka illā man sabaqa ʿalayhil-qawlu wa man āman, wa mā āmana maʿahū illā qalīl.

[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed,¹ We said, "Load upon it [i.e., the ship] of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word [i.e., decree] has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few.

۞ وَقَالَ ٱرۡكَبُواْ فِيهَا بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ مَجۡر۪ىٰهَا وَمُرۡسَىٰهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٤١

Wa qālarkabū fīhā bismillāhi majrēhā wa mursāhā, inna rabbī laghafūrur raḥīm.

And [Noah] said, "Embark therein; in the name of Allāh [are] its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

وَهِيَ تَجۡرِي بِهِمۡ فِي مَوۡجٖ كَٱلۡجِبَالِ وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبۡنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِي مَعۡزِلٖ يَٰبُنَيَّ ٱرۡكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٤٢

Wa hiya tajrī bihim fī mawjin kal-jibāli wa nādā nūḥunibnahū wa kāna fī maʿziliy yābunayyarkab maʿanā wa lā takum maʿal-kāfirīn.

And it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers."

قَالَ سَـَٔاوِيٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٖ يَعۡصِمُنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَۚ وَحَالَ بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلۡمَوۡجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُغۡرَقِينَ ٤٣

Qāla saʾāwī ilā jabaliy yaʿṣimunī minal-māʾ, qāla lā ʿāṣimal-yawma min amrillāhi illā mar raḥim, wa ḥāla baynahumal-mawju fakāna minal-mughraqīn.

[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allāh, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.

وَقِيلَ يَٰٓأَرۡضُ ٱبۡلَعِي مَآءَكِ وَيَٰسَمَآءُ أَقۡلِعِي وَغِيضَ ٱلۡمَآءُ وَقُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَٱسۡتَوَتۡ عَلَى ٱلۡجُودِيِّۖ وَقِيلَ بُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٤

Wa qīla yāʾarḍublaʿī māʾaki wa yāsamāʾu aqliʿī wa ghīḍal-māʾu wa quḍiyal-amru wastawat ʿalal-jūdiyy, wa qīla buʿdal lil-qawmiẓ-ẓālimīn.

And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and it [i.e., the ship] came to rest on the [mountain of] Jūdiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمۡ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمۡسِينَ عَامٗا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَهُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ ١٤

Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihī falabitha fīhim alfa sanatin illā khamsīna ʿāman fa akhadhahumuṭ-ṭūfānu wa hum ẓālimūn.

And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers.

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَأَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلسَّفِينَةِ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٥

Fa anjaynāhu wa aṣḥābas-safīnati wa jaʿalnāhā āyatal lil-ʿālamīn.

But We saved him and the companions of the ship, and We made it¹ a sign for the worlds.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ ١٠

Fadaʿā rabbahū annī maghlūbun fantaṣir.

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

فَفَتَحۡنَآ أَبۡوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٖ مُّنۡهَمِرٖ ١١

Fafataḥnā abwābas-samāʾi bimāʾim munhamir.

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ ١٢

Wa fajjarnal-arḍa ʿuyūnan fal-taqal-māʾu ʿalā amrin qad qudir.

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.

وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَٰحٖ وَدُسُرٖ ١٣

Wa ḥamalnāhu ʿalā dhāti alwāḥiw wa dusur.

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,

وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٞ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبۡنِي مِنۡ أَهۡلِي وَإِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحۡكَمُ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ٤٥

Wa nādā nūḥur rabbahū faqāla rabbi innabnī min ahlī wa inna waʿdakal-ḥaqqu wa anta aḥkamul-ḥākimīn.

And Noah called to his Lord and said, "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family; and indeed, Your promise is true; and You are the most just of judges!"

قَالَ يَٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيۡسَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيۡرُ صَٰلِحٖۖ فَلَا تَسۡـَٔلۡنِ مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۖ إِنِّيٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ ٤٦

Qāla yānūḥu innahū laysa min ahlik, innahū ʿamalun ghayru ṣāliḥ, falā tasʾalni mā laysa laka bihī ʿilm, innī aʿiẓuka an takūna minal-jāhilīn.

He said, "O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no knowledge. Indeed, I advise you, lest you be among the ignorant."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنۡ أَسۡـَٔلَكَ مَا لَيۡسَ لِي بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞۖ وَإِلَّا تَغۡفِرۡ لِي وَتَرۡحَمۡنِيٓ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٤٧

Qāla rabbi innī aʿūdhu bika an asʾalaka mā laysa lī bihī ʿilm, wa illā taghfir lī wa tarḥamnī akum minal-khāsirīn.

[Noah] said, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers."

قِيلَ يَٰنُوحُ ٱهۡبِطۡ بِسَلَٰمٖ مِّنَّا وَبَرَكَٰتٍ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ أُمَمٖ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَۚ وَأُمَمٞ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَمَسُّهُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٤٨

Qīla yānūḥuhbiṭ bisalāmim minnā wa barakātin ʿalayka wa ʿalā umamim mimmam maʿak, wa umamun sanumattiʿuhum thumma yamassuhum minnā ʿadhābun alīm.

It was said, "O Noah, disembark in security from Us and blessings upon you and upon nations [descending] from those with you. But other nations [of them] We will grant enjoyment; then there will touch them from Us a painful punishment."

فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٢٨

Fa idhastawayta anta wa mam maʿaka ʿalal-fulki faqulil-ḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī najjānā minal-qawmiẓ-ẓālimīn.

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allāh who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلۡنِي مُنزَلٗا مُّبَارَكٗا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمُنزِلِينَ ٢٩

Wa qul rabbi anzilnī munzalam mubārakaw wa anta khayrul-munzilīn.

And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].'"

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ ٧٥

Wa laqad nādānā nūḥun falaniʿmal-mujībūn.

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٧٦

Wa najjaynāhu wa ahlahū minal-karbil-ʿaẓīm.

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ ٧٧

Wa jaʿalnā dhurriyyatahū humul-bāqīn.

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱمۡرَأَتَ نُوحٖ وَٱمۡرَأَتَ لُوطٖۖ كَانَتَا تَحۡتَ عَبۡدَيۡنِ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا صَٰلِحَيۡنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمۡ يُغۡنِيَا عَنۡهُمَا مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗا وَقِيلَ ٱدۡخُلَا ٱلنَّارَ مَعَ ٱلدَّٰخِلِينَ ١٠

Ḍaraballāhu mathalal lil-ladhīna kafarumraʾata nūḥiw wamraʾata lūṭ, kānatā taḥta ʿabdayni min ʿibādinā ṣāliḥayni fakhānatāhumā falam yughniyā ʿanhumā minallāhi shayʾaw wa qīladkhulan-nāra maʿad-dākhilīn.

Allāh presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them,¹ so they [i.e., those prophets] did not avail them from Allāh at all, and it was said, "Enter the Fire with those who enter."
