We sent NūH to his people (and said to him): “Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them.”

He said, “O my people, I openly warn you

that you must worship Allah, and fear Him, and obey me,

and Allah will forgive you your sins, and will respite you to an appointed term. Indeed when Allah’s term comes, it is not deferred, if you only know!”

He said, “My Lord, I have called my people night and day,

but my call added only to their flight (from the truth).

Whenever I called them, so that You might forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears, and wrapped their clothes around themselves, and grew obstinate, and waxed proud in extreme arrogance.
