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.
وأوحي إلى نوح أنه لن يؤمن من قومك إلا من قد آمن فلا تبتئس بما كانوا يفعلون واصنع الفلك بأعيننا ووحينا ولا تخاطبني في الذين ظلموا إنهم مغرقون
