Noah supplicated to Allah yet again saying, "My Lord, my people
have belied me, so open between me and them an opening, and
save me and the believers who are with me."

Thereafter it was made known to Noah that only those who had
already believed would believe. As for those who disbelieved he was
informed that they would remain in their disbelief and he should not
distress himself on their account.

Then Allah ordered Noah to build, under His guidance and
instruction, an Ark, and told him that he should not to ask Him about
the evil-doers who were to be drowned.

Suggestion: Noah's followers building the Ark

Noah and his followers started to cut down trees, sawed the planks of
wood into the required lengths ready to be hammered together. Soon
the construction of the Ark was soon underway and the noise of
sawing and hammering filled the air.
