What did you get from the verses that you could apply in your life? Give examples?

True or False Prophet Nuh was just a Prophet. The mission of Prophet Nuh was to call people to worshiping of only one God. It is alright to disobey God as long as we don’t get punished. There is no need for us to repent now as we can repent just before our death. The formula for success is Obey Allah and be Mindful of Him (Fear his punishment) that leads to Allah’s Forgiveness and Reward.
