Al A‘rāf

قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي ضَلاَلَةٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالاَتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

61. "He said: ' O' my people! There is no error in me, but I am a Messenger from the Lord of the worlds."
62. "I deliver to you the Messages of my Lord, and I advise you sincerely, and I know from Allah what you do not know."

In response to the affront and harshness of the opponents, Noah, with a calm, firm, and tender tone, said that not only he was not misguided, but also there was no sign of misguidance in him. He added that he was a messenger of Allah, the Lord of the worlds. The verse says:

This phrase is a hint to the fact that all the different gods they believed in were in vain. The Lord of the whole people and the things of the world is Allah, the only One God, Who is the Creator of all of them. Noah (as) continued saying that his aim was to perform the mission of his Lord perfectly and to convey His revealed Messages to them. The holy verse says:

He told the opponents that he would do his best for them in the path of benevolence.

Then, finally Noah added that:

This phrase may be a threat against their oppositions, indicating that he knew some painful punishments for the evil doers that they were not aware of yet. And also it points to the grace and mercy of Allah that if they paved the way of obedience he would know some blessings and rewards from him that they did not know, as well as the greatness and vastness of them.
