And there is no creature on earth except that its provision is upon God, *_{Psalms 104:27}*, *_{Psalms 136:25}*, *_{Matthew 6:26}*, *_{Luke 12:24}* and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear Book.

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days *_{Genesis 1:31}* - 2:1 - and His Throne had been upon water *_{Psalms 29:10}*, *_{Psalms 104:3}* - so that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is nothing but clear magic."

The example of the two groups is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember? *_{Matthew 13:13}* - 16

And O my people, I do not ask you for any wealth for it. *_{ShepherdOfHermas 43:12}* My reward is not from [anyone] except God. And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly.

And construct the ark *_{Genesis 6:14}* under Our eyes and Our inspiration and do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are [to be] drowned."

And he constructed the ark, *_{BookOfEnoch 89:1}* and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule.

[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load two of every pair upon the ark *_{Genesis 6:19}* and your family, except those whom the word has preceded against, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few.

And it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers." *Wisdom of _{Solomon 10:4}* - 5 11:43 [But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the command of God, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.

And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O heaven, withhold [your water]." And the water subsided, and the command was fulfilled, and the ark came to rest on the [mountain of] Judiyy. *_{BookOfEnoch 89:7}* - 8 And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."

And Noah called to his Lord and said, "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family; *Wisdom of _{Solomon 10:4}* - 5 and indeed, Your promise is true; and You are the most just of judges!"

O my people, I do not ask you for any reward for it. *_{ShepherdOfHermas 43:12}* My reward is only from the One who created me. Then will you not reason?

And the shriek seized those who had wronged, ~*_{Amos 1:2}*, ~*_{Amos 2:2}*, ~*_{Joel 2:11}*, ~*_{Joel 3:16}* and they became [corpses] fallen prone within their homes

And Our messengers certainly came to Abraham with good news; they said, "Peace." He said, "Peace," and did not delay in bringing [them] a roasted calf. *_{Genesis 18:7}* 11:70 But* when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt afraid of them. They said, "Do not fear. We have been sent to the people of Lot."

And his wife was standing, and she laughed when We gave her good news of Isaac *_{Genesis 18:10},*_{Genesis 18:12}, *_{BookOfJubilees 16:3} and after Isaac, Jacob.

She said, "Woe to me! Should I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? *_{Genesis 18:12}* Indeed, this is an amazing thing!"

And when the fright had left Abraham and the good news had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lot. *_{Genesis 18:23}* - 32

And when Our messengers came to Lot, *_{Genesis 19:1}* he was anguished for them and felt great discomfort for them and said, "This is a trying day."

And his people came hastening to him, and they had been doing evil deeds before [this]. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear God and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. *_{Genesis 19:7}* - 8 Is there not a right-minded man among you?"

[The angels] said, "O Lot, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; [therefore], they will never reach you. So set out with your family *_{Genesis 19:15}* during a portion of the night and do not let anyone among you look back - *_{Genesis 19:17}* except your wife; indeed, she will be struck by that which strikes them. *_{Genesis 19:26}* Indeed, their appointment is [for] the dawn. *_{Genesis 19:23}* Is the dawn not near?"

So when Our command came, We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained stones of layered hard clay upon them, *_{Genesis 19:24}*, *_{Luke 17:29}* 11:83 [Which were] marked from your Lord. And [God's punishment] is not far from the wrongdoers.

And when Our command came, We saved Shu'ayb and those who believed with him by mercy from Us. And the shriek seized those who had wronged, ~*_{Amos 1:2}*, ~*_{Amos 2:2}*, ~*_{Joel 2:11}*, ~*_{Joel 3:16}* and they became [corpses] fallen prone within their homes

And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods *_{Jeremiah 11:12}* which they invoked other than God when the command of your Lord came. And they did not increase them in [anything] other than ruin.

As for those who were wretched, they will be in the Fire. There will be sighing and wailing for them therein. *_{Matthew 13:42}*, *_{Matthew 13:50}* 11:107 [They will be] abiding eternally therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends.
