(23:25) He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time." (23:26) [Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me." (23:27) So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature] two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned. (23:28) And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, `Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.` (23:29) And say, `My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].` " (23:30) Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants]. (23:31) Then We produced after them a generation of others.
