A prophet chosen by Allah and sent to his people, Noah (Nuh) was called a liar by their notables. The verses relate his complaint to his Lord, the command to build the ark, his call to his son, the rescue of those with him in the ark and the punishment of his people, who became an example and a lesson.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
It was said, "O Noah, disembark in security from Us and blessings upon you and upon nations [descending] from those with you. But other nations [of them] We will grant enjoyment; then there will touch them from Us a painful punishment."
