42 So leave them alone to plunge in vain talk and to sport, until they come face to face with that day of theirs which they are promised — |
43 The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as hastening on to a goal, |
44 Their eyes cast down, disgrace covering them. Such is the day which they are promised. |
1 Surely We sent Noah to his people, saying: Warn thy people before there come to them a painful chastisement. |
2 He said: O my people, surely I am a plain warner to you: |
3 That you should serve Allāh and keep your duty to Him and obey me — |
4 He will forgive you some of your sins and grant you respite to an appointed term. Surely the term of Allāh, when it comes, is not postponed. Did you but know! |
5 He said: My Lord, I have called my people night and day: |
6 But my call has only made them flee the more. |
7 And whenever I call to them that Thou mayest forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are big with pride. |
8 Then surely I have called to them aloud, |
9 Then spoken to them in public and spoken to them in private, |
10 So I have said: Ask forgiveness of your Lord; surely He is ever Forgiving: |
11 He will send down upon you rain, pouring in abundance, |
12 And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers. |
13 What is the matter with you that you hope not for greatness from Allāh? |
