VERSE NO. 35 Verses 32-35

      Here again the talk between Noah and his people continues; In answer to Noah's gentle call, and his urging reason in opposition, they arrogantly and in a biting irony said to the arch prophet of God:ِ

      ``You have disputed with us and talked too much! Then bring upon us the disaster which you have long promised. Do it and let us you bring it, or else you are only a liar! Such a rude and impolite reaction to such that fine and gentle assertion, shows how stubborn and obstinate the wicked people of Noah were!''

 

      These verses imply that Noah has had a very long effort with the aim of guiding his peopleِso long, that, his people have declared to have been tired of him! This prolonged dispute can also be understood from the verses in the chapter of Noah (S 71:5ِ13), as follows:ِ

      ``O, my Lord! I have called to my people night and day, but my call only increased their flight. Whenever I called them to turn to you to forgive them, they pushed their fingers into their ears, and covered themselves into their garments, and persisted arrogantly and full of pride and vanity! Then I called them aloud! Further I spoke to them in public, and also secretly in private, but they....''

      So did they ask Noah to stop talking and bring them the punishment by which he threatend them.

      In answer to that, in a gentle manner and kind voice, he said; ``I did not say to you that I am going to punish you myself, for all our affairs are in the hands of God, and He knows the best, when to do what! But I am also sure that, if you do not repent, and do not turn to your Merciful Lord, His scourge will smite you, and when that disaster comes, none of you can escape it.''

      Noah said so with sorrow and pity, that people were preparing their ruin with their own hands by rendering his efforts ineffective.
