He said: And what knowledge have I of what they may have been doing (in the past)

Lo! their reckoning is my Lord's concern, if ye but knew

And I am not (here) to repulse believers

I am only a plain warner

They said: If thou cease not, O Noah, thou wilt surely be among those stoned (to death)

He said: My Lord! Lo! my own folk deny me

Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me

And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

Then afterward We drowned the others

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers

And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful

(The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah)

When their brother Hud said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds

Build ye on every high place a monument for vain delight

And seek ye out strongholds, that haply ye may last for ever

And if ye seize by force, seize ye as tyrants

Rather keep your duty to Allah, and obey me

Keep your duty toward Him Who hath aided you with (the good things) that ye know

Hath aided you with cattle and sons

And gardens and watersprings

Lo! I fear for you the retribution of an awful day

They said: It is all one to us whether thou preachest or art not of those who preach
