(Ayah 5){ قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِيْ لَيْلًا وَّ نَهَارًا :} Noah (peace be upon him) continued to convey Allah’s message to his people according to Allah’s command. Despite centuries of preaching, when no one except a few people accepted faith and Noah (peace be upon him) became completely hopeless from them, he presented this request before Allah Almighty. O my Lord! I have called my people night and day, meaning there was no time left in which I did not invite them. In reality, the long continuous period that Noah (peace be upon him) spent in preaching has no example; every preacher and scholar should invite with the same passion and effort.
