Verses 32-35Verses 29-31

      The argument goes on with the flimsy pretexts and unsubstantial excuses of the ignorant people of NOAH. They accused their prophet of being a liar; and to reject their charge, Noah resorted to reasons to prove his truthfulness:ِ

      ``O, my people! I ask you for no wealth for my mission, that my reward falls on no one except Allah.''

      When he sought no reward or anything material in return from them, and endured their insults and offends with patience and perseverance; it could easily prove to them that he was a man of God, and only looked to God rather man, and that a man of such qualifications can not be a liar, or forge a lie against God.

      This is also a criterion and a measure, to distinguish the godly from the materialist who will not take a step unless for some material objects.

      His arrogant people also insisted that, Noah should drive away from around him, those believers whom they saw lowly, and who were despised in their sight for being not rich! They could not understand that if they were physically poor, were spiritually rich and morally

wealthy, and far better than them in the sight of God.

      Noah seriously rejected their request and called them the ignorants on that account, and defended the believers saying:ِ

      ``I am not going to drive away those who have believed. They are to meet their Lord, and I see that you are ignorants. Who would help me then against Allah if I drive them away? Will you not mind?''

      If I drive them away, to-morrow in the Resurrection Day, they can stand up in that court of justice, and complain against me! Who then would help me against Allah's justice!? Noah's last word to his wicked people is:ِ

      ``I am your wellِwisher and have a Message for you which is inspired to me from your Lord, and I have to convey it to youِthis is all I sayِ O, my people! I don't claim to have the treasures of Allah with me, nor do I say that I know the unseen that your soothsayers pretend to know, neither I say that I am an angel. I also do not think that you are better than those believers whom you despise for being poor and having no wealth. I am of opinion that the most honoured of you in the sight of God, is the most virtuous, and the chastest of you. O, my people! Perhaps you are not very wrong in saying that I am only a man like youِtrueِbut with the exception that our Lord has chosen me from among you for his inspiration, and He has inspired to me His Message which is for your own good. To make it short:ِ O, my people! I am a perspicuous warner for you, that you worship none except Allah. I fear for you the torment of a painful day.''
