Surah Al A'raf Tafseer

Allah said that Nuh proclaimed to his people,

أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ

"Do you wonder...,"

do not wonder because of this.

أَن جَاءكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُواْ

that there has come to you a Reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you, so that you may fear Allah,

Surely, it is not strange that Allah sends down revelation to a man among you as mercy, kindness and compassion for you, so that he warns you that you may avoid Allah's torment by associating none with Him,

وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

"and that you may receive (His) mercy."

Allah said
