Translation of Verse 36-49

36. And it was revealed to Noah, "None of your people will believe except those who already have. So do not be distressed by what they have been doing.

37. And build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned."

38. So he began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, "If you laugh at us, we will ˹soon˺ laugh at you similarly.

39. You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment ˹in this life˺ and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ˹in the next˺."

40. And when Our command came and the oven burst ˹with water˺, ⁴¹⁸ We said ˹to Noah˺, "Take into the Ark a pair from every species along with your family-except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed-and those who believe." But none believed with him except for a few.

41. And he said, "Board it! In the Name of Allah it will sail and cast anchor. Surely my Lord is All- Forgiving, Most Merciful."

42. And ˹so˺ the Ark sailed with them through waves like mountains. Noah called out to his son, who stood apart, "O my dear son! Come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers."

43. He replied, "I will take refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water." Noah cried, "Today no one is protected from Allah's decree except those to whom He shows mercy!" And the waves came between them, and his son was among the drowned.

44. And it was said, "O earth! Swallow up your water. And O sky! Withhold ˹your rain˺." The floodwater receded and the decree was carried out. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people!"

45. Noah called out to his Lord, saying, "My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!"

46. Allah replied, "O Noah! He is certainly not of your family-he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance."

47. Noah pleaded, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers."

48. It was said, "O Noah! Disembark with Our peace and blessings on you and some of the descendants of those with you. As for the others,

49. This is one of the stories of the unseen, which we reveal to you ˹O Prophet˺. Neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient! Surely the ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous.

Commentary

418. Noah was given a signal that once the water gushes out of a particular oven then the Flood is about to begin. It can also be translated as: "The fountains of the earth gushed forth."
