26 (Nooh (Noah)) said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."
27 So We inspired him (saying): "Construct the ship under Our Eyes and under Our Revelation (guidance). Then, when Our Command comes, and the oven gushes forth water, take on board of each kind two (male and female), and your family, except those thereof against whom the Word has already gone forth. And address Me not in favour of those who have done wrong. Verily, they are to be drowned.
28 And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who are Zalimoon (i.e. oppressors, wrong-doers, polytheists, those who join others in worship with Allah, etc.).
29 And say: "My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for You are the Best of those who bring to land."
30 Verily, in this (what We did as regards drowning of the people of Nooh (Noah)), there are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc. for men to understand), for sure We are ever putting (men) to the test.
31 Then, after them, We created another generation.
32 And We sent to them a Messenger from among themselves (saying): "Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His Punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?"
33 And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and to whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink.
34 "If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then verily! You indeed would be losers.
35 "Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive (resurrected)?
36 "Far, very far is that which you are promised.
37 "There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we are not going to be resurrected!
38 "He is only a man who has invented a lie against Allah, but we are not going to believe in him."
39 He said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."
40 (Allah) said: "In a little while, they are sure to be regretful."
41 So As-Saeehah (torment - awful cry, etc.) overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zalimoon (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, disobedient to His Messengers, etc.).
42 Then, after them, We created other generations.
43 No nation can anticipate their term, nor can they delay it.
44 Then We sent Our Messengers in succession, every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadeeth (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not.
45 Then We sent Moosa (Moses) and his brother Haroon (Aaron), with Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and manifest authority,
46 To Firaun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they behaved insolently and they were people self-exalting (by disobeying their Lord, and exalting themselves over and above the Messenger of Allah).
47 They said: "Shall we believe in two men like ourselves, and their people are obedient to us with humility (and we use them to serve us as we like)."
48 So they denied them both (Moosa (Moses) and Haroon (Aaron)) and became of those who were destroyed.
49 And indeed We gave Moosa (Moses) the Scripture, that they may be guided.
50 And We made the son of Maryam (Mary) and his mother as a sign, And We gave them refuge on high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams.
