[Aa`raf 7:58] And from the good land comes forth its vegetation by the command of Allah; and from the infertile land, nothing comes forth except a little with difficulty; this is how We explain Our signs in different ways, for people who are thankful.

Section 8

[Aa`raf 7:59] Indeed We sent Nooh to his people - he therefore said, "O my people! Worship Allah - you do not have any God except Him; indeed I fear for you the punishment of the Great Day (of Resurrection)."

[Aa`raf 7:60] The leaders of his people said, "Indeed we see you in open error."

[Aa`raf 7:61] He said, "O my people! There is no straying in me - I am in fact a Noble Messenger from the Lord Of The Creation."

[Aa`raf 7:62] "Conveying to you the messages of my Lord and wishing good for you, and I know from Allah what you do not know."

[Aa`raf 7:63] "And are you surprised that an advice came to you from your Lord through a man amongst you, so that he may warn you and that you may fear, and so that there be mercy upon you?"

[Aa`raf 7:64] In response they denied him, so We rescued him and those with him in the ship, and We drowned those who denied Our signs; indeed they were a blind group.

Section 9

[Aa`raf 7:65] And We sent Hud to the people of Aad from their own community; he said, "O my people! Worship Allah - you do not have any God except Him; so do you not fear?"

[Aa`raf 7:66] The disbelieving leaders of his people said, "Indeed we consider you foolish and think you are a liar."

[Aa`raf 7:67] He said, "O my people! I do not have any concern with foolishness and I am in fact a Noble Messenger from the Lord Of The Creation."
