Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi falabitha feehim alfa sanatin illa khamseena AAaman faakhathahumu alttoofanu wahum thalimoona\n14. We (once) sent Noah\n To his people, and he tarried\n Among them a thousand years\n Less fifty: but the Deluge\n Overwhelmed them while they\n (Persisted in) sin.\n15. Faanjaynahu waas-haba alssafeenati wajaAAalnaha ayatan lilAAalameena\n15. But We saved him\n And the Companions\n Of the Ark, and We made\n The (Ark) a Sign\n For all Peoples!\n16. Wa-ibraheema ith qala liqawmihi oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoona\n16. And (We also saved)\n Abraham: behold, he said\n To his people, \"Serve God\n And fear Him: that\n Will be best for you\n If ye understand!\n17. Innama taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi awthanan watakhluqoona ifkan inna allatheena taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi la yamlikoona lakum rizqan faibtaghoo AAinda Allahi alrrizqa waoAAbudoohu waoshkuroo lahu ilayhi turjaAAoona\n17. \"For ye do worship idols\n Besides God, and ye invent\n Falsehood. The things that ye\n Worship besides God have\n No power to give you sustenance:\nThen seek ye sustenance\n From God, serve Him,\n And be grateful to Him:\n To Him will be your return.\n18. Wa-in tukaththiboo faqad kaththaba omamun min qablikum wama AAala alrrasooli illa albalaghu almubeenu\n18. \"And if ye reject (the Message),\n So did generations before you:\n And the duty of the apostle\n Is only to preach publicly\n (And clearly).\"\n19. Awa lam yaraw kayfa yubdi-o Allahu alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu inna thalika AAala Allahi yaseerun\n19. See they not how God\n Originates creation, then\n Repeats it: truly that\n Is easy for God.\n20. Qul seeroo fee al-ardi faonthuroo kayfa badaa alkhalqa thumma Allahu yunshi-o alnnash-ata al-akhirata inna Allaha AAala kulli shay-in qadeerun\n20. Say: \"Travel through the earth\n And see how God did\n Originate creation; so will\n God produce a later creation:\n For God has power\n Over all things.\n21. YuAAaththibu man yashao wayarhamu man yashao wa-ilayhi tuqlaboona\n21. \"He punishes whom He pleases,\n And He grants mercy to whom\nHe pleases, and towards Him\n Are ye turned.\n22. Wama antum bimuAAjizeena fee al-ardi wala fee alssama-i wama lakum min dooni Allahi min waliyyin wala naseerin\n22. \"Not on earth nor in heaven\n Will ye be able (fleeing)\n To frustrate (His Plan),\n Nor have ye, besides God,\n Any protector or helper.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXIX.: \u2018Ankab\u016bt, or the Spider: Section 2 (14-22)","type":"page"}
