| 28. `And when thou art settled in the Ark - thou and those that are with thee - say, `All praise belongs to ALLAH who has saved us from the unjust people.' 29. And when thou dost disembark from the Ark say, My Lord, cause me to land a blessed landing, for Thou art the Best of those who bring people to land.' 30. Verily in this there are Signs. Surely, WE do try people. 31. Then WE raised after them another generation. 32. And WE sent among them a Messenger from among themselves with the Message, `Serve ALLAH, you have no god other than HIM. Will you not then make HIM your shield against all calamities ? 33. And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter with their Lord and whom WE had afforded ease and comfort in this life, said, `This is but a mortal like yourselves. He eats of that which you eat, and drinks of that which you drink; 34. `And if you obey a mortal like yourselves, you will then be surely losers; 35. `Does he promise you that when you are dead and have become dust and bones, you will be brought forth again ? 36. `Far, very far from truth is that which you are promised; 37. `There is no life other than our present life; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised up again; 38. `He is only a man who has forged a lie against ALLAH; and we are not going to believe in him.' 39. He said, `My Lord, help me, for they treat me as a liar.' 40. ALLAH said, `In a little while they will, surely, become repentant.' 41. Then punishment overtook them rightfully, and WE made them as rubbish. Cursed, then, be the people who do wrong ! 42. Then WE raised after them other generations. |
