36. Ja Sin · verses 41–45

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمۡ أَنَّا حَمَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

Waayatun lahum anna hamalna thurriyyatahum fee alfulki almashhooni

And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark;

وَخَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثۡلِهِۦ مَا يَرۡكَبُونَ

Wakhalaqna lahum min mithlihi ma yarkaboona

And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.

وَإِن نَّشَأۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنقَذُونَ

Wain nasha nughriqhum fala sareekha lahum wala hum yunqathoona

If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,

إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

Illa rahmatan minna wamataAAan ila heenin

Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُواْ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

Waitha qeela lahumu ittaqoo ma bayna aydeekum wama khalfakum laAAallakum turhamoona

When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back).
