We sent Noah to his people, and he said: "O people worship God; you have no other god but He; for I fear the retribution of the great Day may fall on you." 59 The leaders of his people said, “Indeed we see you in open 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 Do you wonder that a warning has come to you from your Lord through a man who is one of you, and warns you to take heed for yourselves and fear God? You might be treated with mercy." 63 But they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship, and We drowned those who denied Our tokens. Lo! they were blind folk. 64
