Then it was said: "O earth, swallow back your water; and, O sky, desist." And the water subsided, and the decree was accomplished. The ark came to rest on Judi (Mount Ararat), and it was said: "Away with the cursed people!"

44

وَنَادٰي نُوْحٌ رَّبَّہٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِيْ مِنْ اَہْلِيْ وَاِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ۝۴۵

Noah called on his Lord and said: "O Lord, my son is surely a member of my family, and verily Your promise is true, as You are the most just of all judges."

Ahmed Ali

"O Noah", He answered, "truly he is not of your family. He is surely the outcome of an unrighteous act. So ask Me not of what you do not know. I warn you not to be one of the ignorant."

46

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّىْۗ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْـــَٔـلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِيْ بِہٖ عِلْمٌ۝۰ۭ وَاِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِيْ وَتَرْحَمْنِيْۗ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ۝۴۷

"Preserve me, O Lord," said (Noah), "from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. If You do not forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among those who perish."

Qeela ya noohu ihbit bisalamin minna wabarakatin AAalayka waAAala omamin mimman maAAaka waomamun sanumattiAAuhum thumma yamassuhum minna AAathabun aleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

(And the Lord) said: "O Noah, disembark with peace and safety from Us and blessings on you and the people with you. As for some (of them), We shall bestow advantages for a time, then send a grievous punishment on them."

48

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَاۗءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوْحِيْہَاۗ اِلَيْكَ۝۰ۚ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُہَاۗ اَنْتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ ھٰذَا۝۰ۭۛ فَاصْبِرْ۝۰ۭۛ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَۃَ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ۝۴۹ۧ

This is news of the Unknown We reveal to you, which neither you nor your people knew before. So endure with patience. The future is for those who keep away from evil and follow the straight path.

English

Ahmed Ali

We sent to the people of 'Ad their brother Hud, who said: "O my people, worship God; you have no other god but He. (As for the idols,) you are only inventing lies.

50

يٰقَوْمِ لَاۗ اَسْـــَٔـلُكُمْ عَلَيْہِ اَجْرًا۝۰ۭ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَي الَّذِيْ فَطَرَنِيْ۝۰ۭ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۵۱

O my people, I ask no recompense of you for it: My reward is with Him who created me. Will you not, therefore, understand?

51

وَيٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۗا اِلَيْہِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاۗءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّۃً اِلٰي قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ۝۵۲

Ahmed Ali

O my people, beg your Lord to forgive you, and turn to Him in repentance. He will send down rain in torrents for you from the shies, and give you added strength. So do not turn away from Him as sinners."

52

قَالُوْا يٰہُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَۃٍ وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِيْۗ اٰلِہَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ ￀مِنِيْنَ۝۵۳

They said: "O Hud, you have come to us with no proofs. We shall not abandon our gods because you say so, nor believe in you.
