13 Quran fundamentally means wealth and material posses- sions, although other related meanings are also implied. This matter indicates that Hadrat N uh as was giving the mes- sage that, despite his limited knowledge and resources, he was certain God would grant in abundance, including the worldly wealth, to his followers and their coming genera- tions. In other words, if his nation was interested in matters of material wealth and status, then they were being warned that they would become poor and low, and likewise, the poor followers of Hadrat N uh as would become rich and high. At the end he as says: 1 ُهّٰللَا ُمَلْعَا اَمِب ْۤيِف ْمِهِسُفْنَا١ۖۚ ْۤيِّنِا اًذِا َنِمَّل َنْيِمِلّٰظلا۰۰ God looks into the hearts and bestows His blessing and glory on the basis of real intentions nourished by people in their hearts. God knows best what is in their hearts, how much they love Him in their hearts, and to what extent they are willing to offer sacrifices. Though they do not have much materially, they are ready to offer whatever they have for the sake of God. God values and loves what is in the hearts. And if I do not give due consideration to all these matters, and I do not treat them in a manner ordained by God: 2 ْۤيِّنِا اًذِا َنِمَّل َنْيِمِلّٰظلا۰۰ 1. Sūrah H u d, 11:32 [Publisher] 2.
