We sent Noah to his people, "I am to you a clear warner."
"That you shall worship none but Allah. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day."
The notables who disbelieved among his people said, "We see in you nothing but a man like us, and we see that only the worst among us have followed you, those of immature judgment. And we see that you have no advantage over us. In fact, we think you are liars."

"O my people! I ask of you no money for it. My reward lies only with Allah. And I am not about to dismiss those who believed; they will surely meet their Lord. And I see that you are ignorant people."
"O my people! Who will support me against Allah, if I dismiss them? Will you not give a thought?"
