He responded, “And what knowledge do I have of what they do?
26:112
Their judgment is with my Lord, if you had any sense!
26:113
I am not going to expel the believers.
26:114
I am only sent with a clear warning.”
26:115
They threatened, “If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be stoned ˹to death˺.”
26:116
Noah prayed, “My Lord! My people have truly rejected me.
26:117
So judge between me and them decisively, and save me and the believers with me.”
26:118
So We saved him and those with him in the fully loaded Ark.
26:119
Then afterwards We drowned the rest.
26:120
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
26:121
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
26:122
The people of ’Âd rejected the messengers
26:123
when their brother Hûd said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
26:124
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
26:125
So fear Allah, and obey me.
26:126
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.
26:127
˹Why˺ do you build a landmark on every high place in vanity,
26:128
and construct castles, as if you are going to live forever,
26:129
and act so viciously when you attack ˹others˺?
26:130
So fear Allah, and obey me.
26:131
Fear the One Who has provided you with ˹the good˺ things you know:
26:132
He provided you with cattle, and children,
26:133
and gardens, and springs.
26:134
I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day.”
26:135
They responded, “It is all the same to us whether you warn ˹us˺ or not.
26:136
