Noah was patient and every hopeful that they would change their ways and
told the unbelievers that he was not after their money or possessions and
said, "My nation, for this I do not ask you for your wealth for my wage is only
with Allah. Nor will I drive away the believers, for they will surely meet their
Lord. But, I can see that you are ignorant. Were I to drive you away my
