And O my people! I ask of you no wealth
therefor. My reward is the concern only of Allah, and I am not going to thrust
away those who believe - Lo! they have to meet their
Lord! - buut I see you a folk that are ignorant.
[11:30]
And, O my people! who would
deliver me from Allah if I thrust them away ? Will ye not then reflect ?
[11:31]
I say not unto you: "I have the treasures
of Allah" nor "I have knowledge of the Unseen," nor say I:
"Lo! I am an angel!" Nor say I unto those whom your eyes scorn that Allah

to advise you, if Allah’s will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord and unto
Him ye will be brought back.
[11:35]
Or say they (again): He hath invented it ? Say: If I have invented it, upon me be my crimes, but I
am innocent of (all) that ye commit.
[11:36]
And it was inspired in Noah, (saying): No-one of
thy folk will believe save him who hath believed already. Be not distressed
because of what they do.
[11:37]
Build the ship under Our
eyes and by Our inspiration, and speak not unto Me on behalf of those who do
wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.
