The Revelation to Nuh concerning what would happen to the People and the Command to prepare for It Allah, the Exalted, sent revelation to Nuh when his people hastened the vengeance and punishment of Allah upon themselves.
Then, Nuh supplicated against them, as Allah mentioned, when He said; رَّبِّ لاَ تَذَرْ عَلَى الاٌّرْضِ مِنَ الْكَـفِرِينَ دَيَّاراً ( My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers inhabiting the earth! ) 71:26 And he said, فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنُّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَانتَصِرْ ( Then he invoked his Lord (saying ): "I have been overcome, so help ( me )!")54:10 At this point Allah revealed to him, أَنَّهُ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلاَّ مَن قَدْ ءَامَنَ ( None of your people will believe except those who have believed already. ) Therefore, do not grieve over them and do not be concerned with their affair. وَاصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ ( And construct the ship. ) The word Fulk here means ship. بِأَعْيُنِنَا ( under Our Eyes ) This means under Our vision. وَوَحْيِنَا ( and with Our revelation, ) This means, "We will teach you ( Nuh ) what to do." وَلاَ تُخَـطِبْنِى فِى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ إِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُونَ ( and address Me not on behalf of those who did wrong; they are surely to be drowned. ) Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned from the Tawrah, "Allah commanded him ( Nuh ) to make it ( the ship ) from Indian oak wood.
Then He commanded him to make its length eighty cubits and its width fifty cubits.
Allah then commanded him to coat its interior and exterior with tar and to make it with a slanted bow to part the water ( as it sailed ).
Its height was thirty cubits into the sky.
It had three levels and each level was ten cubits high.
The lowest level was for the animals, both tame and wild, the second level was for the human beings and the highest level was for the birds.
Its door was in the center of it and it had a cover on top of it that covered the entire ship.
Concerning Allah's statement, وَيَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلأٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُ ( And as he was constructing the ship, whenever the chiefs of his people passed by him, they mocked at him. ) This means that they teased him and rejected his threat that they would drown ( in the forthcoming flood ). قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ ( He said: "If you mock at us, so do we mock at you likewise..." ) This is a severe threat and a serious warning. مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ ( who it is on whom will come a torment that will cover him with disgrace ) This means that it ( the torment ) will humiliate him in this life. وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ ( and on whom will fall a lasting torment. ) that is continuous and everlasting.

(11:37) and build the Ark under Our eyes and Our direction. And do not supplicate Me concerning those who have engaged in wrong-doing. They are doomed to be drowned. *40

And construct the ship under Our observation meaning

*40).
This demonstrates that when a Messenger communicates his Message to his people, they are granted respite from punishment only as long as it remains possible for the social milieu to produce a reasonable number of good people.
As soon as that milieu becomes shorn of good people, and none but the iniquitous remain, then the term of respite ends.
At this juncture, God's Mercy itself calls for the destruction of these incorrigible rogues lest they also contaminate others.
For to show any further leniency to them would amount to perpetrating an injustice on the whole world and on future generations.

"And construct the ship under Our Eyes and with Our Inspiration, and address Me not on behalf of those who did wrong; they are surely to be drowned."
