"We sent Nuh to his people. He said, " O! My people. worship Allah, you have none worthy of worship but He, are you not afraid of Him for committing shirk?" The chief of the unbelievers among his people said, " Nuh is but a human like you; he desires to assert his superiority over you. If Allah wanted to send Rasools He could have sent down angels; we have never heard such a thing as he says from our forefathers." Some of them said, "He is a madman, so bear with him for a while." Nuh said, " O my Rabb! Help me against their calling me a liar."
So We revealed Our Will to him, saying, "Build an Ark under Our eyes and under Our inspiration, and when Our judgement comes to pass and water wells out from At-Tannur (oven), take aboard a pair (a male and a female) from every species and take your family, except those of them, against whom judgement has already been passed; and do not plead with Me in favor of the wrongdoers, for they are doomed to be drowned in the flood. Then when you have embarked on the Ark with your companions say, " Praise be to Allah, Who has delivered us from the nation of wrongdoers," and pray, " O my Rabb! Bless my landing from this Ark, for You are the best to make my landing safe." There are many signs in this story, and surely, We do test people." Quran 23 (Al-Muminun): 23-30
