[13] These chiefs always presented the personality of Noah (علیہ السلام) to their followers in a negative manner and kept convincing them that this person is only going through all this trouble to establish his own greatness. And he says such improbable things that, at least according to our understanding, cannot be accepted. How is it possible that a single God alone is running the entire system of the universe? That He hears everyone's pleas directly, and then also responds to them? Every king needs countless nobles, ministers, subordinates, and workers to run the affairs of his kingdom. And only through them can a plea reach the king. Then how can we, at his word, deny our deities? If there were any weight in his words, then people of intellect and nobility would have been his companions. Instead, the few companions he does have are foolish and lowly people. And they collectively propagated these things in such a way, and the whole nation was so influenced by this propaganda, that whenever someone was about to die, he would strongly advise his children not to get caught in the trap of this old Noah. He is a madman who wants us to abandon the religion of our forefathers.
