وَيُمدِدكُم بِأَموالٍ وَبَنينَ وَيَجعَل لَكُم جَنّاتٍ وَيَجعَل لَكُم أَنهارًا

And provide you with wealth and children, and bless you with gardens, and grant you rivers.

ما لَكُم لا تَرجونَ لِلَّهِ وَقارًا

What’s the matter with you, that you don’t attribute to God due grandeur.

وَقَد خَلَقَكُم أَطوارًا

When He created you in stages.

أَلَم تَرَوا كَيفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبعَ سَماواتٍ طِباقًا

Don’t you see how God created seven heavens in perfect harmony?

وَجَعَلَ القَمَرَ فيهِنَّ نورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمسَ سِراجًا

And He made the moon a luminary in them, and He made the sun a glowing lamp.

ثُمَّ يُعيدُكُم فيها وَيُخرِجُكُم إِخراجًا

Then He will return you to it, and He will extract you once again.

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ بِساطًا

And God made the earth a spread for you.

لِتَسلُكوا مِنها سُبُلًا فِجاجًا

So you may move along its wide roads.’”

قالَ نوحٌ رَبِّ إِنَّهُم عَصَوني وَاتَّبَعوا مَن لَم يَزِدهُ مالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلّا خَسارًا

Noah said, “My Lord, they defied me, and they followed those whose wealth and children only amplify their loss.”

وَمَكَروا مَكرًا كُبّارًا

They devised a formidable plan.
