Then We saved him and those with him in the ship, and made it (the ship) an Ayâh (a lesson, a warning) for the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût (all false deities i.e. do not worship Tâghût besides Allâh)."

And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."

We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we will indeed follow their footsteps.
