Overall meaning : Allah. Exalted be He, says: Mention to the people, Muhammad, Noah when he prayed to Us before the time of Abraham and Lot to help him against his people; We answered his prayer and delivered him and those of his family who believed from great distress. And We helped him against his people who denied Our signs attesting to his truthfulness. They were a wicked people who associated partners with Us, disbelieved their messenger and engaged in evil deeds, and so We drowned them all in the Flood.
