Sura Al-A'raf from 58 to 67


58. The vegetation of a good land comes forth ( easily ) by the Permission of its Lord; and that which is bad, brings forth nothing but ( a little ) with difficulty. Thus do We explain variously the Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) for a people who give thanks.
59. Indeed, We sent Nûh ( Noah ) to his people and he said: « O my people! Worship Allâh! You have no other Ilâh ( God ) but Him. ( Lâ ilâha illallâh: none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh ) . Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day! »
60. The leaders of his people said: « Verily, we see you in plain error. »
61. [ Nûh ( Noah ) ] said: « O my people! There is no error in me, but I am a Messenger from the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind, jinn and all that exists ) !»
62. « I convey unto you the Messages of my Lord and give sincere advice to you. And I know from Allâh what you know not.»
63. « Do you wonder that there has come to you a Reminder from your Lord through a man from amongst you, that he may warn you, so that you may fear Allâh and that you may receive ( His ) Mercy? »
64. But they belied him, so We saved him and those along with him in the ship, and We drowned those who belied Our Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) . They were indeed a blind people.
65. And to ‘Âd ( people, We sent ) their brother Hûd. He said: « O my people! Worship Allâh! You have no other Ilâh ( God ) but Him. ( Lâ ilâha illallâh: none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh ) . Will you not fear ( Allâh ) ? »
66. The leaders of those who disbelieved among his people said: « Verily, we see you in foolishness, and verily, we think you are one of the liars. »
67. ( Hûd ) said: « O my people! There is no foolishness in me, but ( I am ) a Messenger from the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind, jinn and all that exists ) !»
