11:32-60
They said: “O Noah: thou hast disputed with us — and hast greatly disputed with us — so bring thou upon us what thou promisest us, if thou be of the truthful.”
**He said: “God will but bring it upon you, if He wills; and you cannot escape.**
“And my sincere counsel will not profit you, if I desire to give you sincere counsel, if God has desired to cause you to err; He is your Lord, and to Him will you be returned.”
(If they say: “He has invented it,” say thou: “If I have invented it, then upon me is my crime — but I am quit of what you commit.”)
**And Noah was instructed: “None of thy people will believe but he who has believed already; so despair thou not at what they did.**
“And make thou the ship under Our eyes and Our instruction; and address thou Me not concerning those who have done wrong; they will be drowned.”
**And he made the ship. And every time eminent ones among his people passed by him they derided him. He said: “If you deride us, yet will we deride you just as you deride,**
“And you will come to know to whom comes a punishment that disgraces him, and upon whom there descends a lasting punishment.”
**When Our command had come to pass, and the oven boiled over, We said: “Load thou therein of every pair, two; and thy household — save him against whom the word has gone forth — and him who believes.” And there believed with him only a few.**
And he said: “Embark therein! In the name of God be her passage and her anchorage. My Lord is forgiving and merciful.”
And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains; and Noah called to his son: — and he was set apart — “O my son: embark thou with us, and be thou not with the false claimers of guidance.”
Said he: “I will take shelter in a mountain that will protect me from the water.” He said: “There is no protector this day from the command of God save for him upon whom He has mercy.” And the waves came between them; and he was among the drowned.
And it was said: “O earth: swallow thou thy water,” and: “O sky: desist thou,” and the water subsided and the matter was concluded. And it came to rest upon Al-Jūdī. And it was said: “Away with the wrongdoing people!”
And Noah called to his Lord, and said: “My Lord: my son was of my household — and Thy promise is the truth; and Thou art the most just of judges.”
**He said: “O Noah: he was not of thy household. He was a deed not righteous; so ask thou Me not of that whereof thou hast no knowledge; I admonish thee lest thou be of the ignorant.”**
Said he: “My Lord, in Thee do I seek refuge lest I ask of Thee that whereof I have no knowledge; and save Thou forgive me, and have mercy on me, I will be among the losers.”
It was said: “O Noah: get thee down in peace from Us, and blessings upon thee and upon nations out of those with thee. And nations will We give enjoyment — then a painful punishment from Us will touch them.”
That is from the reports of the Unseen that We reveal to thee; thou knewest it not, neither thou, nor thy people before this. So be thou patient; the final outcome is for those of prudent fear.
And to ʿĀd, their brother Hūd. He said: “O my people: serve God; you have no god but He; you are only inventing.”
“O my people: I ask of you for it no reward; my reward is only upon Him who created me. Will you then not use reason!”
**And: “O my people: ask forgiveness of your Lord; then turn to Him. He will send the sky upon you in abundant rains, and increase you in strength to your strength. And turn not away as lawbreakers.”**
They said: “O Hūd: thou hast not brought us clear evidence; and we will not leave our gods at thy word; and we do not believe thee.
“We say only that some of our gods have afflicted thee with evil.” He said: “I call God to witness — and bear you witness — that I am quit of that to which you ascribe a partnership,
“Besides Him; so scheme against me all together; then grant me no respite.
“I have placed my trust in God, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature save He holds it by its forelock. My Lord is on a straight path.
“Then if you turn away: I have conveyed to you that wherewith I was sent to you; and my Lord will make succeed you a people other than you; and you will not harm Him at all. My Lord is custodian over all things.”
And when Our command came, We delivered Hūd and those who heeded warning with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a stern punishment.
And those were ʿĀd; they rejected the proofs of their Lord, and opposed His messengers, and followed the command of every obstinate tyrant.
And they were followed by a curse in the World; and on the Day of Resurrection[… evil is the gift given.]. In truth, ʿĀd denied their Lord — so away with ʿĀd, the people of Hūd!
