INDEED, We sent forth Noah unto his people, and he said: "O my people! Worship God alone: you have no deity other than Him. Verily, I fear lest suffering befall you on an awesome Day!" 59 But the assembly of his nation said: 'We can see that you are in clear error.' 60 'I am not in error, my nation' he replied. 'I am a Messenger from the Lord of the Worlds 61 I bring to you the messages of my Lord, and give you sincere advice, for I know from God what you do not know. 62 Why, do you deem it strange that a tiding from your Sustainer should have come unto you through a man from among yourselves, so that he might warn you, and that you might become conscious of God, and that you might be graced with His mercy?" 63 And yet they gave him the lie! And so We saved him and those who stood by him, in the ark, the while We caused those who had given the lie to Our messages to drown: verily, they were blind folk! 64
