We sent Noah to his people. He said, "O my people, worship God; you have no other god but He. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful Day," 59 The chiefs of his people said: Most surely we see you 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 convey unto you the messages of my Lord and give good counsel unto you, and know from Allah that which ye know not. 62 What, do you wonder that a reminder from your Lord should come to you by the lips of a man from among you? That he may warn you, and you be godfearing, haply to find 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
