وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
21. And when good touches him, withholding [of it],
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
1. Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ
2. He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
14. While He has created you in stages?
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا
15. Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers
وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
16. And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?
وَاللَّهُ أَنْبَتَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
17. And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
19. And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse
لِتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
20. That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "
يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا
2. It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.
