Al-Mu'minun 23:26

Noah said, ‘My Lord, help me! They call me a liar,’

Translation 1260

and so We revealed to him: ‘Build the Ark under Our watchful eye and according to Our revelation. When Our command comes and water gushes up out of the earth,take pairs of every species on board, and your family, except for those on whom the sentence has already been passed- do not plead with me for the evildoers: they will be drowned

Translation 1260

and when you and your companions are settled on the Ark, say, “Praise be to God, who delivered us from the wicked people,”

Translation 1260

and say, “My Lord, let me land with Your blessing: it is You who provide the best landings”.’

Translation 1260

There are signs in all this: We have always put [people] to the test

Translation 1260

Then We raised another generation after them

Translation 1260

and sent one of their own as a messenger: ‘Serve God, for He is your only god. Will you not heed Him?’

Translation 1260

But the leading disbelievers among his people, who denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, to whom We had granted ease and plenty in this life, said, ‘He is just a mortal like you- he eats what you eat and drinks what you drink

Translation 1260

and you will really be losers if you obey a mortal like yourselves

Translation 1260

How can he promise you that after you die and become dust and bones you will be brought out alive

Translation 1260

What you are promised is very farfetched

Translation 1260

There is only the life of this world: we die, we live, but we will never be resurrected

Translation 1260

He is just a man making lies up about God. We will never believe in him.’

Translation 1260

The prophet said, ‘My Lord, help me! They call me a liar,’

Translation 1260

and so God said, ‘Soon they will be filled with regret.’

Translation 1260

The blast justly struck them and We swept them away like scum. Away with the evildoers

Translation 1260

We raised other generations after them

Translation 1260

no community can advance or delay its time

Translation 1260

and We sent Our messengers in succession: whenever a messenger came to a community they invariably called him a liar, so We destroyed them one after the other and made them into cautionary tales. Away with the disbelievers

Translation 1260

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs and clear authority

Translation 1260

to Pharaoh and his prominent leaders, but they responded with arrogance: they were a haughty people

Translation 1260

They said, ‘Are we to believe in two mortals like us? And their people are our servants?’

Translation 1260

and so they called them both liars: they became another ruined people

Translation 1260

We gave Moses the Scripture, so that they might be rightly guided

Translation 1260

We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign; We gave them shelter on a peaceful hillside with flowing water

Translation 1260
