Translation of Verse 105-122

105. The people of Noah rejected the messengers ⁷⁵⁵

106. when their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

107. I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

108. So fear Allah, and obey me.

109. I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

110. So fear Allah, and obey me."

111. They argued, "How can we believe in you, when you are followed ˹only˺ by the lowest of the low?" ⁷⁵⁶

112. He responded, "And what knowledge do I have of what they do?

113. Their judgment is with my Lord, if you had any sense!

114. I am not going to expel the believers.

115. I am only sent with a clear warning."

116. They threatened, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be stoned ˹to death˺."

117. Noah prayed, "My Lord! My people have truly rejected me.

118. So judge between me and them decisively, and save me and the believers with me."

119. So We saved him and those with him in the fully loaded Ark.

120. Then afterwards We drowned the rest.

121. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

122. And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.

Commentary

755. lit., messengers, because denying Noah ( ﷺ ) was equal to denying all of Allah's messengers.

756. The pagans were accusing the impoverished believers of following Noah ( ﷺ ) only for personal gain, not out of sincere faith.
