Verses 29-31Verses 25-28

      In the following 26 verses, the admonitory story of Noah is narrated, so that it may serve to wake up the oppressors and evilِdoers; and remind them of their dreadful doom:ِ

      ``We sent Noah to his people to warn them against evil, and worship of any god other than Allah the only one true God; and call them to repentance, or else the torment of a painful day would afflict them.''

      But the people of Noah were haughty and disdainfully proud, contempting the weak and lowly who were morally and spiritually better than them. Most of them were wicked idolaters plunged in sin; and so was Noah sent to them with clear signs and convincing evidences. With utmost confidence and assurance, Noah talked to them and informed them that he had a message for them from God, their Creator.

      His obstinate people rejected his Message with scorn, and accused him of lying. They resorted to flimsy excuses, and adhered to some baseless reasons, which has always been the methodical way of the tyrants of history. The chief disbelievers of his people disputed with him saying:ِ ``O, Noah! Stop bothering us; that, we won't believe you, because you are no more than a mortal man like ourselves. Your followers are only a few ignoble, and simple-minded of the lowly people, and you have not the least grade of superiority over us, and we think that you are a liar!''

      Noah who was full of compassion and sympathy said to them:ِ

 

      ``True that I am a man like you, but Allah has favoured me, and has inspired his message to me, a Mercy of him for all, which is obscure to you.''

      They belied Noah, and he admonished and warned his sinful people saying:ِ

      ``Should I compel you to it while you dislike it?''

      By this assertion he seriously threatened his wicked people that there is no such thing as compulsion in religion, and if you do not want to accept the call with good will, and you reject your Lord's Message which has been sent down for your own good, then you have to wait for the punishment of a painful day.
