The example of the two parties is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember

And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Indeed, I am to you a clear warner

أَنThatلَّا(do) notتَعْبُدُوٓا۟worshipإِلَّاexceptٱللَّهَAllahإِنِّىٓIndeed, Iأَخَافُ[I] fearعَلَيْكُمْfor youعَذَابَ(the) punishmentيَوْمٍ(of) a Dayأَلِيمٍpainful﴿٢٦﴾

That you not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a painful day

فَقَالَSo saidٱلْمَلَأُthe chiefsٱلَّذِينَ(of) those whoكَفَرُوا۟disbelievedمِنfromقَوْمِهِۦhis peopleمَاNotنَرَىٰكَwe see youإِلَّاbutبَشَرًاa manمِّثْلَنَاlike usوَمَاand notنَرَىٰكَwe see youٱتَّبَعَكَfollowed [you]إِلَّاexceptٱلَّذِينَthose whoهُمْ[they]أَرَاذِلُنَا(are) the lowest of usبَادِىَimmature in opinionٱلرَّأْىِimmature in opinionوَمَاAnd notنَرَىٰwe seeلَكُمْin youعَلَيْنَاover usمِنanyفَضْلٍۭmeritبَلْnayنَظُنُّكُمْwe think youكَٰذِبِينَ(are) liars﴿٢٧﴾

So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us [and] at first suggestion. And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars

قَالَHe saidيَٰقَوْمِO my peopleأَرَءَيْتُمْDo you seeإِنifكُنتُI wasعَلَىٰonبَيِّنَةٍ(the) clear proofمِّنfromرَّبِّىmy Lordوَءَاتَىٰنِىwhile He has given meرَحْمَةًmercyمِّنْfromعِندِهِۦHimselfفَعُمِّيَتْbut (it) has been obscuredعَلَيْكُمْfrom youأَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَاshould We compel you (to accept) itوَأَنتُمْwhile you (are)لَهَاaverse to itكَٰرِهُونَaverse to it﴿٢٨﴾

He said, "O my people have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it

وَيَٰقَوْمِAnd O my peopleلَآnotأَسْـَٔلُكُمْI ask (of) youعَلَيْهِfor itمَالًاany wealthإِنْNotأَجْرِىَ(is) my rewardإِلَّاexceptعَلَىfromٱللَّهِAllahوَمَآAnd notأَنَا۠I amبِطَارِدِgoing to drive awayٱلَّذِينَthose whoءَامَنُوٓا۟believedإِنَّهُمIndeed, theyمُّلَٰقُوا۟(will) be meetingرَبِّهِمْtheir Lordوَلَٰكِنِّىٓbut Iأَرَىٰكُمْsee youقَوْمًا(are) a peopleتَجْهَلُونَignorant﴿٢٩﴾

And O my people, I ask not of you for it any wealth. My reward is not but from Allah. And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly

وَيَٰقَوْمِAnd O my peopleمَنWhoيَنصُرُنِىwould help meمِنَagainstٱللَّهِAllahإِنifطَرَدتُّهُمْI drove them awayأَفَلَاThen, will notتَذَكَّرُونَyou take heed﴿٣٠﴾

And O my people, who would protect me from Allah if I drove them away? Then will you not be reminded

وَلَآAnd notأَقُولُI sayلَكُمْto youعِندِى(that) with meخَزَآئِنُ(are the) treasuresٱللَّهِ(of) Allahوَلَآand notأَعْلَمُI knowٱلْغَيْبَthe unseenوَلَآand notأَقُولُI sayإِنِّىthat I amمَلَكٌan Angelوَلَآand notأَقُولُI sayلِلَّذِينَfor those whomتَزْدَرِىٓlook down uponأَعْيُنُكُمْyour eyesلَنneverيُؤْتِيَهُمُwill Allah give themٱللَّهُwill Allah give themخَيْرًاany goodٱللَّهُAllahأَعْلَمُknows bestبِمَاwhatفِىٓ(is) inأَنفُسِهِمْtheir soulsإِنِّىٓIndeed, Iإِذًاthenلَّمِنَ(will be) surely ofٱلظَّٰلِمِينَthe wrongdoers﴿٣١﴾

And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls. Indeed, I would then be among the wrongdoers

قَالُوا۟They saidيَٰنُوحُO NuhقَدْIndeedجَٰدَلْتَنَاyou disputed with usفَأَكْثَرْتَand you (have been) frequentجِدَٰلَنَا(in) dispute with usفَأْتِنَاSo bring usبِمَاwhatتَعِدُنَآyou threaten us (with)إِنifكُنتَyou areمِنَofٱلصَّٰدِقِينَthe truthful﴿٣٢﴾

They said, "O Noah, you have disputed us and been frequent in dispute of us. So bring us what you threaten us, if you should be of the truthful

قَالَHe saidإِنَّمَاOnlyيَأْتِيكُمwill bring it (on) youبِهِwill bring it (on) youٱللَّهُAllahإِنifشَآءَHe willsوَمَآand notأَنتُمyou (are)بِمُعْجِزِينَone who (can) escape (it)﴿٣٣﴾

He said, "Allah will only bring it to you if He wills, and you will not cause [Him] failure

And my advice will not benefit you - although I wished to advise you - If Allah should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned

Or do they say [about Prophet Muhammad], "He invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, then upon me is [the consequence of] my crime; but I am innocent of what [crimes] you commit

وَأُوحِىَAnd it was revealedإِلَىٰtoنُوحٍNuhأَنَّهُۥThatلَنwill neverيُؤْمِنَbelieveمِنfromقَوْمِكَyour peopleإِلَّاexceptمَن(those) whoقَدْhave alreadyءَامَنَbelievedفَلَاSo (do) notتَبْتَئِسْ(be) distressedبِمَاby whatكَانُوا۟they have beenيَفْعَلُونَdoing﴿٣٦﴾

And it was revealed to Noah that, "No one will believe from your people except those who have already believed, so do not be distressed by what they have been doing

And construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are [to be] drowned

And he constructed the ship, and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule

فَسَوْفَAnd soonتَعْلَمُونَyou will knowمَن(on) whomيَأْتِيهِwill comeعَذَابٌa punishmentيُخْزِيهِ(that) will disgrace himوَيَحِلُّand will descendعَلَيْهِon himعَذَابٌa punishmentمُّقِيمٌlasting﴿٣٩﴾

And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter]

[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load upon the ship of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few
