Hud · Ayah 39 · Hud
فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ
"And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter].""
— Sahih International
He said: "O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my Lord, and a mercy (prophethood) has come to me from Him, but that (mercy) has been obscured from your sight. Shall we compel you (to accept) it when you have a strong hatred for it (28)
The Response of Nuh
Allah says, informing about the response of Nuh to his people,
أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي
(Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my Lord,) Bayyinah means certainty, a clear matter, and truthful prophethood. That is the greatest mercy from Allah upon him (Nuh) and them (his people).
فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ
(but that (mercy) has been obscured from your sight.) "Obscured from your sight" in this verse means, 'it was hidden from you and you are not guided to it. Thus, you [people] did not know its importance so you hastily rejected and denied it.'
أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا
(Shall we compel you (to accept) it) This means, "Should we force you to accept it, while you actually detest it."
努哈对他们说：我的族人啊！你们告诉我，如果我有来自真主的明证，证明我的真实，要求你们相信我，祂赐予我来自祂的慈悯——圣品和使命。但那个明证对于你们是模糊的，难道我要强迫你们信仰并接受它吗？我做不到这一点，引导人于信仰者是真主。
Noé u les dijo: Pueblo mío, si tuviera una prueba clara de mi Señor que probara que estoy en la verdad, que los obligara a seguirme en el mensaje que porto, ¿acaso creen que intentaría imponerles esta fe por la fuerza? No podría hacerlo, porque solo Al-lah es Quien puede hacer que la fe ingrese en los corazones de la gente.
[ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّي ] نوح - صلی الله علیه وسلم - فه‌رمووی: ئه‌ی قه‌ومی خۆم هه‌واڵم پێ بده‌ن كه من له‌سه‌ر به‌ڵگه‌ی ڕوون و ئاشكرام له‌لایه‌ن خوای گه‌وره‌وه‌و موعجیزه‌ی بۆ ناردووم و یه‌قینم هه‌یه [ وَآتَانِي رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِهِ ] و له‌لایه‌ن خۆیه‌وه ڕه‌حمه‌تێكی پێ به‌خشیوم كه پێغه‌مبه‌رایه‌تیه [ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ ] به‌ڵام له ئێوه شاراوه‌یه‌و ئه‌و شتانه نایبینن و قه‌درى نازانن [ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنْتُمْ لَهَا كَارِهُونَ (٢٨) ] ئایا ئێمه ئه‌توانین به‌زۆر ئیمان بخه‌ینه دڵی ئێوه‌وه له كاتێك كه ئێوه پێتان ناخۆشه؟ واته: ناتوانین به‌زۆر موسڵمانتان بكه‌ین.
