(7:58) And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful. (7:59) We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day. (7:60) Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error." (7:61) [Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds." (7:62) I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah what you do not know. (7:63) Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy." (7:64) But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.
