11.41 . And he said : Embark therein! In the name of Allah be its course and its mooring . Lo! my Lord is Forgiving , Merciful .

11.42 . And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains , and Noah cried unto his son and he was standing aloof : O my son! Come ride with us , and be not with the disbelievers .

11.43 . He said : I shall betake me to some mountain that will save me from the water . ( Noah ) said : This day there is none that saveth from the commandment of Allah save him on whom He hath had mercy . And the wave came in between them , so he was among the drowned .

11.44 . And it was said : O earth! Swallow thy water and , O sky! be cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside . And the commandment was fulfilled . And it ( the ship ) came to rest upon ( the mount ) Al-Judi and it was said : A far removal for wrongdoing folk!

11.45 . And Noah cried unto his Lord and said : My Lord! Lo! my son is of my household! Surely Thy promise is the Truth and Thou art the Most Just of Judges .

11.46 . He said : O Noah! Lo! he is not of thy household ; lo! he is of evil conduct , so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge . I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant .

11.47 . He said : My Lord! Lo! in Thee do I seek refuge ( from the sin ) that I should ask off Thee that whereof I have no knowledge . Unless Thou forgive me and have mercy on me I shall he among the lost .

11.48 . It was said ( unto him ) : O Noah! Go thou down ( from the mountain ) with peace from Us and blessings upon thee and some nations ( that will spring ) from those with thee . ( There will be other ) nations unto whom We shall give enjoyment a long while and then a painful doom from Us will overtake them .

11.49 . This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee ( Muhammad ) . Thou thyself knewest it not , nor did thy folk ( know it ) before this . Then have patience . Lo! the sequel is for those who ward on ( evil )

11.50 . And unto ( the tribe of ) Aad ( We sent ) their brother , Hud . He said : O my people! Serve Allah! Ye have no other God save Him . Lo! ye do but invent!

11.51 . O my people! I ask of you no reward for it . Lo! my reward is the concern only of Him who made me . Have ye then no sense?

11.52 . And , O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord , then turn unto Him repentant ; He will cause the sky to rain abundance on you and will add unto you strength to your strength . Turn not away , guilty!

11.53 . They said : O Hud! Thou hast brought us no clear proof and we are not going to forsake our gods on thy ( mere ) saying , and we are not believers in thee .

11.54 . We say naught save that one of our gods hath possessed thee in an evil way . He said : I call Allah to witness , and do ye ( too ) bear witness , that I am innocent of ( all ) that ye ascribe as partners ( to Allah )

11.55 . Beside Him . So ( try to ) circumvent me , all of you , give me no respite .

11.56 . Lo! I have put my trust in Allah , my Lord and your Lord . Not an animal but He doth grasp it by the forelock! Lo! my Lord is on a straight path .

11.57 . And if ye turn away , still I have conveyed unto you that wherewith I was sent unto you , and my Lord will set in place of you a folk other than you . Ye cannot injure Him at all . Lo! my Lord is Guardian over all things .

11.58 . And when Our commandment came to pass We saved Hud and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us ; We saved them from a harsh doom .

11.59 . And such were Aad . They denied the revelations of their Lord and flouted His messengers and followed the command of every froward potentate .

11.60 . And a curse was made to follow them in the world and on the Day of Resurrection . Lo! Aad disbelieved in their Lord . A far removal for Aad , the folk of Hud!
