11:29 O my people, I do not ask you for any wealth in return for it; my reward is only with Allah. I will not dismiss those who believe[1]; they will surely meet their Lord, but I see that you are ignorant people.

11:30 O my people, who would protect me from Allah if I were to dismiss them? Will you not then take heed?

11:31 I do not tell you that I have Allah’s treasures or that I know the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel. Nor do I say about those whom you look down upon, that Allah will never grant them any good, for Allah knows best what is in their hearts. If I did so, I would surely be one of the wrongdoers.”

11:32 They said, “O Noah, you have argued far too much with us, so bring what you are threatening us with, if you are one of the truthful.”

11:34 Nor will my advice benefit you – no matter how hard I try – if Allah wills to leave you astray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned.”

11:35 Or do they say that he has fabricated it”? Say [O Prophet], “If I did fabricate it, then I am responsible for my sin, but I am innocent of the sins you commit.”

11:36 It was revealed to Noah, “None of your people will ever believe except those who have already believed. So do not grieve over what they do[1].

11:37 Construct the Ark under Our [watchful] Eyes[1] and Our direction, and do not plead with Me for those who did wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”
