During his performance, he recited Verses 36 to 45 of the chapter:
“It was revealed to Noah that besides those who had already accepted his faith, no one from his people would ever believe him. He was told not to be disappointed about what his people had done,
But to build the Ark under the supervision and guidance of his Lord. He was also told not to address any words to Him concerning the unjust for they were all to be drowned.
(Noah) started to build the Ark but whenever some of his people passed by, they would mock him. He in return would reply, ‘Mock us, but just as you mock us, we, too, will mock you.
You will soon learn who will face a humiliating punishment and will be encompassed by an everlasting torment.’
When at last Our decree was fulfilled, water gushed forth from the Oven (in Noah's house). We told him to carry in the Ark a pair (male and female) from every species, his family - except those who were destined to perish - and the believers. No one believed in him, except a few.
(Noah) said, ‘Embark in it. It will sail in the name of God, in His Name it will sail and in His Name it will cast anchor. My Lord is All-forgiving and All-merciful.’
When the Ark sailed on with them amid the mountainous waves, Noah called out to his son who kept away from them, ‘My son, embark with us. Do not stay with the unbelievers.’
His son replied, ‘I shall climb up a mountain and this will save me from the flood.’ Noah said, ‘No one can escape on this day from God's command except those on whom He has mercy.’ The waves separated Noah from his son who was then drowned with the rest (of the unbelievers).
Then the earth was told to swallow-up its water and the sky was ordered to stop raining. The water abated and God's command had been fulfilled. The Ark came to rest on Mount Judi. A voice said, ‘The unjust people are far away from the mercy of God.’
Noah prayed to his Lord saying, ‘Lord, my son is a member of my family. Your promise is always true and you are the best Judge.’”
