[7:59] We sent Noah to his people, saying, “O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. I fear for you the retribution of an awesome day.”
[7:60] The leaders among his people said, “We see that you are far astray.”
[7:61] He said, “O my people, I am not astray; I am a messenger from the Lord of the universe.
[7:62] “I deliver to you the messages of my Lord, and I advise you, and I know from GOD what you do not know.
