Surat Hud (27-28)

{فَقَالَ الْمَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قِوْمِهِ مَا نَرَاكَ إِلاَّ بَشَراً مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَاكَ اتَّبَعَكَ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِ وَمَا نَرَى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَاذِبِينَ} (هود : 27)

27- The haughty people of his people said: O Noah, we see you but a human being who has no merit. We see only the poor, the weak, and the people of need follow you without deep thinking and were deceived by your speech. You have no merit over us in manners, money, power, and number, but we believe you are a liar in all you claim: Straightness, reform, creed, and call.

{قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّيَ وَآتَانِي رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِهِ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَارِهُونَ} (هود : 28)

28- Noah (peace be upon him) said: O my people, have you seen if I am truthful and I have a clear proof from Him, a witness to confirm the truthfulness of my claim, and a sincere prophethood which Allah honored me? What should I do if it was hidden from you and you were not guided and did not know its status, but you hastened to belie and deny it? In the meantime, I cannot force you to accept the message of prophethood while your hate it.
