But I see that you are an ignorant people; 30. `And O my people, who would help me against ALLAH, If I were to drive them away ? Will you not then take heed ? 31. `And I do not say to you, I possess the treasures of ALLAH nor do I know the unseen,' nor do I say, `I am an angel.' Nor do I say concerning those whom your eyes despise, `ALLAH will not bestow any good on them' - ALLAH knows best what is in their minds. Surely, in that case I should be of the unjust.' 32. They said, `O Noah, thou hast indeed disputed with us and disputed long and often; bring us now what thou threatenest us with, if thou art of the truthful.' 33. He said, `ALLAH alone will bring it to you, if HE please, and you cannot frustrate HIS purpose; 34. `And my advice will profit you not even if I seek to give you sincere advice if ALLAH intends to destroy you. HE is your Lord and to HIM shall you be made to return.' 35. Do they say, `He has forged it ?' Say, `If I have forged it, on be my guilt and I am clear of all the crimes you commit.' 36. And it was revealed to Noah: `None of thy people will believe except those who have already believed; grieve not, therefore, at what they have been doing. 37. And build thou the Ark under Our eyes and as commanded by Our revelation. And address ME not concerning the wrongdoers. They are surely going to be drowned. |
