What Quran Says About We Drowned?
(Aghraqna)
Relate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of God,- yet I put my trust in God. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite. [10:71] "But if ye turn back, (consider): no reward have I asked of you: my reward is only due from God, and I have been commanded to be of those who submit to God's will (in Islam)." [10:72] They rejected Him, but We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark, and We made them inherit (the earth), while We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our Signs. Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not)! [10:73]
We sent Noah to his people. He said: "O my people! worship God! ye have no other god but Him. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day! [7:59] The leaders of his people said: "Ah! we see thee evidently wandering (in mind)." [7:60] He said: "O my people! No wandering is there in my (mind): on the contrary I am an apostle from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds! [7:61] "I but fulfil towards you the duties of my Lord's mission: Sincere is my advice to you, and I know from God something that ye know not. [7:62] "Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people, to warn you,- so that ye may fear God and haply receive His Mercy?" [7:63] But they rejected him, and We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark: but We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our signs. They were indeed a blind people! [7:64]
The people of Noah rejected the apostles. [26:105] Behold, their brother Noah said to them: "Will ye not fear (God)? [26:106] "I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust: [26:107] "So fear God, and obey me. [26:108] "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds: [26:109] "So fear God, and obey me." [26:110] They said: "Shall we believe in thee when it is the meanest that follow thee?" [26:111] He said: "And what do I know as to what they do? [26:112] "Their account is only with my Lord, if ye could (but) understand. [26:113] "I am not one to drive away those who believe. [26:114] "I am sent only to warn plainly in public." [26:115] They said: "If thou desist not, O Noah! thou shalt be stoned (to death)." [26:116] He said: "O my Lord! truly my people have rejected me. [26:117] "Judge Thou, then, between me and them openly, and deliver me and those of the Believers who are with me." [26:118] So We delivered him and those with him, in the Ark filled (with all creatures). [26:119] Thereafter We drowned those who remained behind. [26:120]
(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer. [37:75] And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity, [37:76] And made his progeny to endure (on this earth); [37:77] And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times: [37:78] "Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!" [37:79] Thus indeed do we reward those who do right. [37:80] For he was one of our believing Servants. [37:81] Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood. [37:82]
When Our Messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said: "We are indeed going to destroy the people of this township: for truly they are (addicted to) crime." [29:31] He said: "But there is Lut there." They said: "Well do we know who is there : we will certainly save him and his following,- except his wife: she is of those who lag behind!" [29:32] And when Our Messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account, and felt himself powerless (to protect) them: but they said: "Fear thou not, nor grieve: we are (here) to save thee and thy following, except thy wife: she is of those who lag behind. [29:33] "For we are going to bring down on the people of this township a Punishment from heaven, because they have been wickedly rebellious." [29:34] And We have left thereof an evident Sign, for any people who (care to) understand. [29:35] To the Madyan (people) (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. Then he said: "O my people! serve God, and fear the Last Day: nor commit evil on the earth, with intent to do mischief." [29:36] But they rejected him: Then the mighty Blast seized them, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning. [29:37] (Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intelligence and skill. [29:38] (Remember also) Qarun, Pharaoh, and Haman: there came to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach (Us). [29:39] Each one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not Allah Who injured (or oppressed) them:" They injured (and oppressed) their own souls. [29:40]
Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,- [26:10] "The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear God?" [26:11] He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood: [26:12] "My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron. [26:13] "And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me." [26:14] God said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call). [26:15] "So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: 'We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds; [26:16] "'Send thou with us the Children of Israel.'" [26:17] (Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life? [26:18] "And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!" [26:19] Moses said: "I did it then, when I was in error. [26:20] "So I fled from you (all) when I feared you; but my Lord has (since) invested me with judgment (and wisdom) and appointed me as one of the apostles. [26:21] "And this is the favour with which thou dost reproach me,- that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel!" [26:22] Pharaoh said: "And what is the 'Lord and Cherisher of the worlds'?" [26:23] (Moses) said: "The Lord and Cherisher of the heavens and the earth, and all between,- if ye want to be quite sure." [26:24] (Pharaoh) said to those around: "Did ye not listen (to what he says)?" [26:25] (Moses) said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers from the beginning!" [26:26] (Pharaoh) said: "Truly your apostle who has been sent to you is a veritable madman!" [26:27] (Moses) said: "Lord of the East and the West, and all between! if ye only had sense!" [26:28] (Pharaoh) said: "If thou dost put forward any god other than me, I will certainly put thee in prison!" [26:29] (Moses) said: "Even if I showed you something clear (and) convincing?" [26:30] (Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!" [26:31] So (Moses) threw his rod, and behold, it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)! [26:32] And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders! [26:33] (Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well- versed: [26:34] "His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?" [26:35] They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect- [26:36] "And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed." [26:37] So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well-known, [26:38] And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled?- [26:39] "That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?" [26:40] So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win? [26:41] He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)." [26:42] Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!" [26:43] So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!" [26:44] Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake! [26:45] Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration, [26:46] Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds, [26:47] "The Lord of Moses and Aaron." [26:48] Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! "Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!" [26:49] They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord! [26:50] "Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!" [26:51] By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued." [26:52] Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities, [26:53] (Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band, [26:54] "And they are raging furiously against us; [26:55] "But we are a multitude amply fore-warned." [26:56] So We expelled them from gardens, springs, [26:57] Treasures, and every kind of honourable position; [26:58] Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things. [26:59] So they pursued them at sunrise. [26:60] And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken." [26:61] (Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!" [26:62] Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain. [26:63] And We made the other party approach thither. [26:64] We delivered Moses and all who were with him; [26:65] But We drowned the others. [26:66]
And remember, We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: They set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons and let your women-folk live; therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord. [2:49] And remember We divided the sea for you and saved you and drowned Pharaoh's people within your very sight. [2:50]
"Because God will never change the grace which He hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls: and verily God is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things)." [8:53] (Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them": They treated as false the Signs of their Lord: so We destroyed them for their crimes, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh: for they were all oppressors and wrong- doers. [8:54]
