(Noah) said “Oh My Dear Lord, my people have accused me of lying.”
Tafsir
Hazrat Noah (peace be upon him) informed his people of the command of Allah (swt) and tried to guide them, but his people threatened him with death and accused him of lying. Hazrat Noah (peace be upon him) was heartbroken and prayed to Allah (swt), "O my Lord! My people have accused me of being a liar, I have accepted all kinds of insults against my soul, but it pains me that they deny your Essence. I am afraid that I am not introducing You to the people as I should, that I am prejudicing Your attribute. In this case, they seem to be right in their cause and they are proud.
What is said in the video
In verse 117 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara, Noah is now pleading with Allah Almighty: "My Lord," he says. Noah said, "My Lord, my people have accused me of lying." Yes. What is he doing? He is complaining about his people. Doesn't Allah Almighty know? He knows. But He ties everything to a cause. To a cause. Although Noah (peace be upon him) conveyed Allah Almighty's command to his people and wanted to bring them to guidance, his people threatened Noah (peace be upon him) with death and accused him of lying. And Noah (peace be upon him), heartbroken, entreated Allah Almighty. O my Lord! My people have accused me of lying.
I have accepted every kind of insult against myself. But their denial of Your Being pains me. That, because I could not make Your Being known to people as it deserves, I have harmed Your attributes, is what I fear. So they appear to be right in their claim and become proud. "If you had a Lord, He would have done this and that for us by now," they say. Of course: when his people see no miracle from his Lord, however much I may say, I am Ahmet, I am Mehmet. However much I may say, I am, well, the Qutb. However much I may say, I have come, well, to remove the errors in the verses, to give, well, the correct one.
Proven by what? I am giving you the proof. This is the proof. He too will prove it. Now, when there is no proof, what happens? People become all the more proud. So here Noah is saying: I am left alone. Well.
