Al-Mu'minun 23:24 فقال الملا الذين كفروا من قومه ما هاذا الا بشر مثلكم يريد ان يتفضل عليكم ولو شاء الله لانزل ملايكة ما سمعنا بهاذا في اباينا الاولين ٢٤

Chapter 23, Page 343, Juz 18

23. And We verily sent Noah unto his folk, and he said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)? 24. But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old. 25. He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while. 26. He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me. 27. Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned. 28. And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk! 29. And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land. 30. Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.
