We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day. 59 The leading men of his people replied: 'We see that you are in palpable error.' 60 He said: O my people! There is no error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds. 61 I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and give good counsel unto you, and know from Allah that which ye know not. 62 Does it seem strange to you that a reminder from your Lord should be sent to a man, from among you, to warn you so that you might receive mercy?" 63 (But) they belied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the Ark, and We drowned those who belied Our verses. Surely, they were a blind nation. 64
