O my people
Worship
Allah
مَا
not
لَكُم
for you
(is) any
إِلَـٰ هٍ
god
غَيۡرُهُۥٓۖ
other than Him
أَفَلَا
Then will not
تَتَّقُو نَ
٢٣you fear
And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"
23:24
فَقَالَ
But said
the chiefs
(of) those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
مِن
among
his people
مَا
This is not
هَـٰ ذَآ
This is not
إِلَّا
but
بَشَرٌ
a man
like you

أَن
to
assert (his) superiority
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
over you
وَلَوۡ
and if
شَا ٓءَ
Allah had willed
Allah had willed
لَأَنز َلَ

Angels
Not
سَمِعۡنَا
we heard
بِهَـٰ ذَا
of this
فِىٓ
from
ءَابَا ٓئِنَا
our forefathers
our forefathers
But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allāh had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.

إِنۡ
Not
هُوَ
he
إِلَّا
(is) but
رَجُلُۢ
a man
in him
جِنّ َةٌ
(is) madness
so wait
بِهِۦ
concerning him
حَتَّىٰ
until
حِي نٍ
٢٥a time
He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

بِمَا
because
كَذَّبُو نِ
٢٦they deny me
[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."
23:27
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ
So We inspired
إِلَيۡهِ
to him
أَنِ
That
construct
the ship
بِأَعۡيُنِنَا
under Our eyes
وَوَحۡيِنَا
and Our inspiration
فَإِذَا
then when
جَا ٓءَ
comes
أَمۡرُنَا
Our Command
وَفَارَ
and gushes forth
the oven
فَٱ سۡلُكۡ
then put
فِيهَا
into it
مِن
of
every (kind)
(of) mates
two
وَأَهۡلَكَ
and your family
إِلَّا
except
مَن
those
(has) preceded
عَلَيۡهِ
against whom
the Word
مِنۡهُمۡۖ
thereof
وَلَا
And (do) not
تُخَـٰ طِبۡ نِى
address Me
فِى
concerning
those who
ظَلَمُوٓاۡ ۖ
wronged
إِنّ َهُم
indeed, they
(are) the ones to be drowned
So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows,1 put into it [i.e., the ship] from each [creature] two mates and your family, except him for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.
23:28
فَإِذَا
And when
you (have) boarded
أَنت َ
you
وَمَن
and whoever
(is) with you
عَلَى
[on]
the ship
فَقُلِ
then say
Praise
لِلَّهِ
(be) to Allah
Who
نَجَّـٰ نَا
(has) saved us
مِنَ
from
the people
the wrongdoers
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.'
23:29
وَقُل
And say
رَّبِّ
My Lord
أَنز ِلۡنِى
cause me to land
مُنز َلاً
(at) a landing place
blessed
and You
خَيۡرُ
(are) the Best
(of) those who cause to land.'
And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].'"
23:30
إِنّ َ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰ
that
لَأَيَـٰ تٍ
surely (are) Signs
and indeed
We are
لَمُبۡ تَلِي نَ
٣٠surely testing
Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].
23:31
ثُمّ َ
Then
أَنش َأۡنَا
We produced
مِنۢ
after them
after them
قَرۡنًا
a generation
ءَاخَرِي نَ
٣١another
Then We produced after them a generation of others.
23:32
فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا
And We sent
فِيهِمۡ
among them
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
from themselves
أَنِ
[that]
Worship
Allah
مَا
not
لَكُم
for you
(is) any
إِلَـٰ هٍ
god
غَيۡرُهُۥٓۖ
other than Him
أَفَلَا
Then will not
تَتَّقُو نَ
٣٢you fear
And We sent among them a messenger1 from themselves, [saying], "Worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"
23:33
وَقَالَ
And said
the chiefs
مِن
of
his people
who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
وَكَذَّبُواۡ
and denied
بِلِقَا ٓءِ
(the) meeting
(of) the Hereafter
وَأَتۡرَفۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
while We had given them luxury
فِى
in
the life
(of) the world
مَا
Not
هَـٰ ذَآ
(is) this
إِلَّا
but
بَشَرٌ
a man
like you
يَأۡكُلُ
He eats
مِمّ َا
of what
تَأۡكُلُونَ
you eat
مِنۡهُ
[from it]
وَيَشۡرَبُ
and he drinks
مِمّ َا
of what
تَشۡرَبُو نَ
٣٣you drink
And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink.
23:34
وَلَئِنۡ
And surely if
أَطَعۡتُم
you obey
a man
like you
إِنّ َكُمۡ
indeed, you
إِذًا
then
surely (will be) losers
And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.
23:35
أَيَعِدُكُمۡ
Does he promise you
أَنّ َكُمۡ
that you
إِذَا
when
مِتُّمۡ
you are dead
وَكُنت ُمۡ
and you become
تُرَابًا
dust
and bones
أَنّ َكُم
that you
(will be) brought forth
Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?
23:36
۞هَيۡهَاتَ
Far-(fetched)
هَيۡهَاتَ
far-(fetched)
لِمَا
is what
تُوعَدُو نَ
٣٦you are promised
How far, how far, is that which you are promised.1
23:37
إِنۡ
Not
هِىَ
it
إِلَّا
(is) but
حَيَاتُنَا
our life
(of) the world
نَمُوتُ
we die
وَنَحۡيَا
and we live
وَمَا
and not
نَحۡنُ
we
بِمَبۡ عُوثِي نَ
٣٧(will be) resurrected
It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.
23:38
إِنۡ

هُوَ
(is) he
إِلَّا
but
رَجُلٌ
a man
who (has) invented

Allah
كَذِبًا
a lie
and not
نَحۡنُ
we
لَهُۥ
(in) him
بِمُؤۡمِنِي نَ
٣٨(are) believers
He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him."

بِمَا
because
كَذَّبُو نِ
٣٩they deny me
He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."
23:40
قَالَ

عَمّ َا
After a little while
قَلِيلٍ
After a little while
surely they will become
نَـٰ دِمِي نَ
٤٠regretful
[Allāh] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."
23:41
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ
So seized them
the awful cry
بِٱ لۡحَقِّ
in truth
فَجَعَلۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
and We made them
غُثَا ٓءًۚ
(as) rubbish of dead leaves
So away
with the people
the wrongdoers
So the shriek1 seized them in truth,2 and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.
23:42
ثُمّ َ
Then
أَنش َأۡنَا
We produced
مِنۢ
after them
after them
قُرُونًا
a generation
ءَاخَرِي نَ
٤٢another
Then We produced after them other generations.

Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations.1 So away with a people who do not believe.
