10:71 Relate to them the story of Noah when he said to his people, “O my People, if my presence among you and my reminding you of Allah’s signs have become unbearable to you, then in Allah I have put my trust. So gather all your schemes, you and your [so-called] partners, leaving no room for uncertainty, then carry it out against me, and give me no respite[1].

10:72 But if you turn away, then I have not asked you for any reward. My reward is only with Allah, and I have been commanded to be among those who submit to Allah [as Muslims].”

10:73 But they rejected him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the Ark, and made them successors[1], and We drowned those who rejected Our signs. Then see how was the end of those who were warned.

10:74 Then We sent after him messengers to their [own] peoples; they came to them with clear proofs, but they would not believe in what they had already rejected beforehand[1]. This is how We seal the hearts of the transgressors.

10:75 Then We sent after them Moses and Aaron with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they showed arrogance and were wicked people.

10:76 So when the truth came to them from Us, they said, “This is indeed a clear magic!”

10:77 Moses said, “Do you say this about the truth after it has come to you? Can this be magic? But magicians will never succeed.”

10:78 They said, “Have you come to turn us away from what we found our forefathers following, so that you two might become supreme in the land? We will never believe in you[1]!”
