(In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

(1. Verily, We sent Nuh to his people (saying): "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful torment.'') (2. He said: "O my people! Verily, I am a plain warner to you,'') (3. "That you should worship Allah, and have Taqwa of Him, and obey me,'') (4. "He will forgive you of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Verily, the term of Allah when it comes, cannot be delayed, if you but know.'')
