33. Noah said: "Only Allah [40] will bring it upon you, if He wills, and you will not be able to escape it.
[40] Noah (peace be upon him) also gave a clear answer to this, that bringing or not bringing the punishment is not within my power or authority. This punishment will come only at its appointed time according to Allah’s will. However, I can certainly say that if you persist in your rebellion in this way, the punishment will surely come, and when it comes, you will not be able to escape, and you will forget all these matters.
