We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, “O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.”

Said the eminent among his people, “Indeed, we see you in clear error.”

Noah said, “O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.

I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah that which you do not know.

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy?
