You have no god other than Him. Verily I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day."*** 60. "The chiefs of his people said: 'Verily we do see you in manifest error." The example of 'that which is bad springs up nothing', which was referred to in the previous verse, was the people of Noah, to whom whatever he (as) advised he got nothing.
The story of the people of Noah has been mentioned in the Qur'an in Suras: Al-' A'hqaf, As-Saffat, Al-'Isra', al-A'hzab, Yunus, Al-Mu'minun, Al-Ghamar, and Noah. However, the beginning thing that prophets invite to, is the invitation to Unity and theology. This is in common for the believers in all Divine religions. "Indeed We sent Noah to his people, so he said: 'O my people! Serve Allah you have no god other than Him. ..." Prophets are the true sympathizers of human beings.
The verse continues the statement of Noah, saying: "...Verily I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day." Anyhow, this fact should be pointed out that the invitation of Noah was worldly, since all the people of the world in that time were the people of Noah. Then when he cursed, all the disbelievers throughout the world were involved in his curse, and they were drowned entirely. The Qur'an narrates the supplication of Noah, thus: " And Noah said: My Lord!
leave not upon the earth any dweller from among the unbelievers'." [^1] The opponents of prophets have always been some groups of notable ones among the chiefs of the rich whose dazzling glare has filled the eyes of people. "The chiefs of his people said. ..." To know prophets as the misguided ones is worse than to disbelieve in them. When the nature of some people is transformed, they consider a true guide as a misguided one.
