ani iʿbudū allāha wa-ittaqūhu wa-aṭīʿūni

"That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:

Sura Nūḥ 71:4

يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّـهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

yaghfir la-kum min dhunūbikum wa-yuʾakhkhirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajala allāhi idhā jāa lā yuʾakhkharu law kuntum taʿlamūna

فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

falam yazidhum duʿāʾī illā firāran

Sura Nūḥ 71:7

وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا

wa-innī kullamā daʿawtuhum li-taghfira lahum jaʿalū aṣābiʿahum fī ādhānihim wa-istaghshaw thiyābahum wa-aṣarrū wa-istakbarū istikbāran

"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
