26:176 The people who lived in the forest of Madian rejected the messengers. Their brother
Shuaid said to them, “Will you not fear Allah? I am a faithful messenger worthy of all
trust. Fear Allah and obey me. I ask for no reward. My reward comes only from the Lord
of the worlds. Give just measure, and do not be one of those who give less than is due.
Weigh with an exact balance. Do not cheat men of their goods, and do not do evil on the
earth by making mischief. Fear Him who created you and your ancestors.”
26:185 They said, “You are certainly one of the bewitched. You are only a man like us, and
we think you are a liar. If you are telling the truth, make part of the sky fall down upon us.”
26:188 He said, “My Lord knows everything you do.”
26:189 When they rejected him, they were overtaken by the punishment of overshadowing
gloom. This was surely the punishment of a terrible day! There is a sign here, but most of
them do not believe. Truly,
your Lord,
He is the mighty, the merciful!
25:38 And Ad and Thamud, and the people of Rass [an unknown reference], and many
generations between them: to each of them We sent parables and warnings, and We utterly
destroyed each of them. Certainly the unbelievers must have passed by the city that We
destroyed with a deadly rain. Have they not seen it with their own eyes? They do not hope to
be resurrected.
15:78 The people who lived in the forest [perhaps Midian] were also sinners, so We took
vengeance upon them, and
they both were on an open road, and plain to see.
15:80 The people who lived in the rocky place [the people of Thamud] also rejected Allah’s
messengers. We sent Our signs to them, but they turned away from them. They cut their
homes into the rock, feeling secure, but the cry overtook them in the morning, and all their
efforts did nothing to help them.
71:1 We sent Noah to his people and said to him, “Warn your people before a terrible
punishment befalls them.” He said, “My people, I come to you as a plain-speaking warner.
Serve and fear Allah and obey me. He will forgive you your sins and give you respite until
the appointed time, because when Allah’s appointed time has come, it can not be delayed. If
only you knew this!”
71:5 He said, “Lord, I have cried to my people day and night; and my cries only increase
their aversion. Whenever I cry to them so that you may forgive them, they cover their ears
and cover themselves in their cloaks, and persist stubbornly in their error. Then I called
loudly to them. Then I spoke plainly, and I spoke to them privately and I said, ‘Beg your
Lord for forgiveness because he is ready to forgive. He will open the sky and send down
rain in abundance. He will increase your wealth and children and will give you gardens and
rivers. What is the matter with you that you refuse to seek goodness from Allah’s hand when
it was Him who made you in diverse stages?’”

71:15 “Do you not see how Allah created the seven heavens and set them one above
another? He placed the moon there and made it a light, and made the sun a lamp and placed
it there, and Allah caused you to spring out of the earth like a plant. Later he will turn you
back into the earth and bring you out again. Allah has spread the earth for you like a carpet
so that you may walk there along spacious paths.” Noah said, “Lord, they rebel against me
and follow those whose wealth and children add only to their troubles.”
71:22 And they devised a great plot. They said, “Do not forsake your gods; do not forsake
Wadd, or Sowah, or Yaghuth nor Yahuk or Nesr [names of Semitic gods].” They have led
many astray and have added only error to the ways of the wicked. Because of their sins, they
were drowned
and forced into the fire, and they discovered that Allah was their only shelter.
71:26 And Noah said, “Lord, do not leave one family of unbelievers alive on earth. Because
if you do, then they will trick your servants and will only breed more sinners and
unbelievers. Lord, forgive me and my parents and every believer that enters my house and
all the male and female believers. Give nothing but destruction to the wicked.”
37:75 Noah called upon Us long ago, and We promptly listened, and We saved him and his
family from the great flood, and We made his offspring the survivors. We left for him honor
through posterity, “Peace be on Noah throughout the worlds!”
37:80 This is how We reward the good, because he was one of Our believing servants, and
We drowned the rest.
26:105 The people of Noah rejected the messengers when their brother Noah said to them,
“Will you not fear Allah? I am a faithful messenger worthy of all trust. Fear Allah and obey
me. I ask no reward from you for this because my reward comes only from the Lord of the
worlds. Fear Allah and obey me.”
26:111 They said, “Should we believe you when only the lowest people follow you?”
26:112 He answered, “I have no knowledge of their actions. Their account is only with my
Lord if you could only understand this. I will not turn away those who believe, because I am
only sent to publicly warn.”
26:116 They said, “Noah,
if you do not stop, you will certainly be stoned to death.”
26:117 He said, “Lord, my people reject me. Judge between us, and save me and those
believers with me.”
26:119 So We saved him and those who went with him in the laden ark, and later We
drowned the rest. Surely, there is a sign here, but most of them do not believe. Truly, your
Lord, He is the mighty, the merciful!
23:23 It can not be disputed that We sent Noah to his people, and he said, “Oh, My people!
Serve Allah. You have no other god but Him. Will you not fear Him?” But the chiefs of the
unbelievers said, “He is a mere mortal, just like yourselves, who wishes to make himself
superior to you. If Allah wished to send a message, then He would have sent angels. We
