All About Prophet Nuh (as)

Ulul Azzam. Islam did not start from Muhammad but from Adam (as). All the prophets
taught Islam. Although some rules are only applicable in certain contexts (both in terms
of place and time) the belief in one God and His messengers were all taught by these
prophets. There are prophets collectively known as Ulul Azzam and are known for their
willpower in calling people to Islam. They are the ones mentioned above, Nuh (as) is one
of them.
His peoples crime. The people of the different messengers are known for different
crimes. The people of Shuayb (as) are known for their economic corruption. The people
of Nuh (as) their major crime is the association of partners with Allah (swt). Allah (swt)
wants us to go to Him directly no in-betweens. However, the people of Nuh (as) put
idols in-between. Apart from this, they also committed many injustices in the society. The
powerful and strong bully the weak; the former oppress and do wrong to the latter.

STORY of NUH

All About Prophet Nuh (as) [continuation]

His peoples crime (cont.). Muhammad in a hadith (Bukhari) said that between
Adam (as) and Nuh (as), there were 10 generations of people. At first, everyone
worshipped Allah (swt) alone, however, theres Shaytan whose goal is to make the
people move away from the worship of Allah (swt). So he made a plan and took his time;
hes very sneaky and has been doing this for thousands of years. He has a lot of
experience.
Good people are great reminders of Allah (swt) to the people around them. When
these good people passed away, what do you think Shaytan did? He made pictures of
them just pictures to help the people remember Allah (swt). The next generation came
and said these pictures are not enough, so they decided to make figurines and figure
heads. The next generation then thought they need more, thus statues were built. Then
the next generation wondered why these statues were present they didnt have
Wikipedia to refer to so, out of the lack of knowledge, they supplicated to these idols to
bring them closer to Allah (swt). Thats how some generations slowly worshipped the
idols. Eventually, the knowledge of the origin of these idols was lost and the people
started worshipping them besides Allah (swt). Thats their major crime against Allah
(swt).

Personality worship. As Muslims, we may not worship idols but we

worship personalities (i.e. celebrities, shuyookh). Everything that
comes from them, we treat like wahi we think they dont make
mistakes. This is not true. Any person is fallible. He/she can be
corrected and be given advice.
On the other hand, those who follow American Idol they dont bow
down but they still worship their idols in other ways. When a celebrity
says, I have this new clothing, buy this, they tend to fall into the trap.
They try to make money out of the people. All these celebrities have
these clothes and they often think they also need those. This builds
unnecessary competition and pressure when, in fact, our focus should
be worshipping Allah and doing good. Its ok to like nice things but
when you chase it so much that you forget everything else, thats
where the problem is.

STORY of NUH

All About Prophet Nuh (as) [continuation]

Surah Hud. The story of Nuh (as) was mentioned in two main surahs: Surah Hud and Surah

Nuh. In Hud, it mentions how the people of Nuh (as) disobeyed him, and what propaganda
and challenge they made against him. It is the time when Allah (swt) told Nuh (as), No
one else is going to believe so build your ship. He was made fun of but he still built the
ship. He was told by the people, Why build the ship on the ground? Theres no ocean here!
Then the flood came. Nuh (as) takes the ship and takes a pair of each animal and sees his
son (one of them). But his son says, No, Ill stay here. The mountain will protect me. As
the flood came, it took his son away. He lost his son because he disobeyed him. He asks
Allahs (swt) forgiveness for his son. But, Allah (swt) told him not to do it in his sons
behalf as he (his son) was one of those who did not worship Him (swt).
Surah Nuh. This surah covers the part when Allah (swt) said, Flooding will come until its
actual coming. The story of Nuh (as) is not just in the Quran and the Bible, it is also in
Vedas, and mythology from ancient Mesopotamia and Greece.
Origin
Mesopotamian and Greek
mythology

Narr ation
Once upon a time there was a king. A Christian king he
came to many gods. One of the gods said, The other god
plans to destroy everyone with a flood. So take a ship and
take each animal. When everyone drowned, he took the
animals and asked some of the survivors to slaughter them.
*In relation to this story, it is good to reflect on the
following: Does Allah need us? Can I benefit Him? We need
to realize that when we dont worship Allah (swt), we only
harm ourselves.

Vedas

In this Hindu scripture, theres the story of Maanu. (Ma- in

Arabic is water). A big fish comes to Maanu and said, Hey a
flood is coming so build a ship.

A movie about Noah. I remember growing up there were cartoons and shows about
Noah all of them are incorrect; theres some truth in them but a lot are incorrect. The
main purpose is lost. The flood was the first punishment to ever come to the people.
The reason why it came is very important. Whats the reason? Whats their crime? None
in the movie. They only say God was angry so he sent a flood.

Differences between the Quran and the Bible*

* in relation to the story of

Purpose of
the flood

Depiction of
Nuh (as)

Survivors of
the flood
Location of
the flood

Nuh (as)

Bible
In the bible (the book of
Genesis), it says that God
regretted his decision to
create mankind thats
why he sent this flood.

Quran
In the Quran, the reason was because the people
didnt want to leave their ways. They enjoyed
oppressing the weak. They enjoyed keeping the
weak ignorant, uneducated. That was their
society. So, Allah (swt) sent Nuh (as) to turn the
direction of the people and worship Him (swt)
alone. They (the opposition leaders) didnt want
Nuhs (as) leadership they said, if the people
follow Nuh, they (the weak) will forget about us (the
leaders), they will stop giving us money.

After Nuh survived the

flood, he grew grapes,
drank wine, shouted at
and hit his children, etc.
Nuh and his family lived.

We believe all prophets are dignified. They cannot

commit sins. Nuh (as) is a role model. He cared for
his people and he did not shout at them.

It says that the flood was

a global flood.

Quran stays silent. Allah (swt) left the discussion

on this open.

Nuh (as) and the believers lived.

NOTES:
In the Quran, Allah (swt) does not regret his decisions. We regret because we dont
have knowledge. So if you have complete knowledge, why regret?
In the Bible, theres a chosen family they were the chosen ones. In the Quran, Nuh
(as) and the believers survived because they believed in Him (swt) alone, no idols. Our
parents cannot save us from the fire. Our good deeds are our keys to get to Jannah. In
Judgement Day, your mother or father will not share their deeds with you. They will say,
I also need these to get to Jannah. Everyone is responsible for themselves. If you do
good, youll be among those saved.
The location of the flood was left open by Allah (swt) in the Quran. We find that in
multiple places in the Quran. In Surah Kahf, Allah (swt) talks about the people of the
cave. The Jews discussed the number of the people of the cave. Allah (swt) said it was
unnecessary we must focus on what is beneficial. The beneficial knowledge if little is
not beneficial. That knowledge, we should not pursue. Chase a knowledge that is useful.
What matters is that they took a stand they believe in Allah. Whatever you do to us,
you cannot change our belief in Allah.

STORY of NUH

Why is the Surah Nuh unique/special?

Interestingly, some surahs in the Quran have connections. It is human nature to criticize
things. Some try to critique the Quran and say, Why does the Quran talk about
business in one place and then the Day of Judgment in the next. Why is it not like a
PhD paper? In Surahs Muminun and Araf 4 surahs of story of Nuh (as) (including
Surahs Hud and Nuh). Why is it not in one place? Why does the Quran change from
subject to subject? The answer is very simple but you have to reflect. In Surah Nuh,
Allah (swt) talks about the people of Nuh (as), he gave them dawah (invitation) for
950 years. Very few of them believed. In Surah Jinn, the jinn were just walking by
Muhammad whos reciting the Quran. They said as they heard the Quran, We have
heard something amazing. And because of these words, well never make partners with
Allah, well only worship Allah. The jinns said this.
Whats the connection between Surahs Nuh and Jinn? In Nuh, he has given all these
dawah and very few believed. In Jinn, they only walked by and they believed right
away. Whats the lesson? That guidance is in the hands of Allah (swt). We might ask,
Whats the point of giving him 950 dawah years and only few people believed, why do
we have to do anything? Remember that Allah (swt) doesnt look at our results but
our effort. In this world, people look for results. You cannot write your whole life story
in your CV to prove your effort they dont care about your effort but your results.
Allah (swt), on the other hand, looks at your effort He (swt) knows you can do this
but you only got this because youre lazy because of this, He (swt) will hold you
accountable. Effort matters 950 years. If Allah (swt) told us to do dawah, then you
should make an effort.
Surah Nuh is Makki. Most surahs are Makki (revealed in Makkah) most of them talks
about the time when Muhammad was tortured. It strengthened the resolve of the
Prophet . Take Nuhs (as) example as role model. He gave dawah for 950 years. (The
surah after Surah Nuh is Surah Jinn.) The surah before Surah Nuh is Surah Maarij.
Whats the connection between the two? In Maarij, one man came to Muhammad
and said, You keep telling us about the Day of Judgment, why dont you just bring us
the punishment if youre telling the truth. In Maarij, one is asking for the punishment.
Thousands of years before the emergence of the Quraish are the people of Nuh (as)
they asked for the punishment as well. Allah (swt) told Nuh (as), No ones going to
believe so build your ship. In Maarij, they meant to challenge Allah (swt) and made
fun of the Prophet so they received the punishment.

STORY of NUH

Sections of Surah Nuh

1st section {verses 1-4}: Allah (swt) to Nuh (as)

Allahs (swt) command to Nuh (as) [Nuh, give your people the message and
the warning.].
2nd section {verses 5-12} Flashback
Nuh (as) recalled how he went to invite his people to the message of Allah
(swt).
3rd section {verses 13-20} Reminder to the people
Dont take Allah (swt) for granted and give Him the respect He deserves.
4th section {verses 21-25} Efforts of the opposition leaders
The leaders did not want to lose power so propaganda and lies were
spread.
5th section {verses 26-28} Nuh (as) to Allah (swt)
Duaa of Nuh (as) to destroy his nation.

One of the amazing features of the Quran is that passages are mirrored.
In the first section, its Allah (swt) to Nuh (as) (command) while in the last
section, its Nuh (as) calling on to Allah (swt) (supplication). The second
section is about the efforts of Nuh (as), while the fourth is about the
efforts of the opposition leaders against Nuh (as). The middle is the core,
the center. It is the most important. It explains the reason for the
punishment they didnt realize they took advantage of Nuh (as) and they
were dealing with Allah (swt), the Creator of everything.

Bayyinah Philippines:

STORY of NUH

1st Section: Allah (swt) to Nuh (as)

Indeed, we sent Noah to his people, [saying], Warn your people before there comes to
them a painful punishment.
qawmihi nation/people
Allah (swt) couldve used other words disbelievers, or made partners with Allah,
infidels, enemies of Islam. But, He (swt) said, We sent Nuh (as) to his people. How does
the Quran work? One of the features of the Quran is that certain surahs have themes.
In Surah Kahf, we find one word over and over: Ilm knowledge; alim scholar. It is all
about knowledge. In Surah Kahf, the people wanted to challenge Muhammad . The
Quraish went to the rabbis and asked them for 3 questions to be given to the Prophet
. They said if he could not answer them then he is not a real prophet. The rabbis
said, Ask him about the (1) people of the cave (2) ruh/spirit and (3) Dhul Qarnain. The
Quraish asked him these three. Allah (swt) revealed Surahs Kahf and Isra about all
these three. He (swt) also added another story in Surah Kahf Khidr and Musa (as). They
didnt ask about them but Allah (swt) gave us this story. Musa (as) asked Khidr for
questions to seek knowledge. It shows that prophets also ask questions, and it doesnt
make them less of a prophet.
Sample Story: The Muslims in the Caribbean are always by themselves. They dont mingle
with other people. The Muslims own the gas stations and employ the black Caribbean
people but they do not trust them. Theres mistrust between the Muslims and nonMuslims. They dont do anything to resolve this mistrust. They forget they have this
obligation Nuh (as) never forgot, hence, we should take him as our role model.
In the Quran people were given names. Musa = Bani israil. Hud = people of Ad. Saleh =
people of Thamud. All had names. People of Nuh had no name but Qawm Al-Nuh
People of Nuh. As if Allah (swt) is reminding Nuh (as) that no one else is coming to
convey the message. They are your people so you are their only hope. On the other hand,
Ibrahim (as) was born somewhere and moved to Palestine, Egypt, Makkah. Did he stop
giving dawah when he moved? No. He even learned the local language and used it. The
people around them were their people, so as someone not from their place. Where you
live is your obligation. Thats what Muhammad entrusted us with --- concept of
ummah.

Bayyinah Philippines:

STORY of NUH

1st Section: Allah (swt) to Nuh (as)

Qawm is repeated in this surah numerous times to emphasize. In the Quran, words
are repeated for emphasis. Warn your people. A warning comes at the end. When
theres nothing left, you give warning. Allah (swt) sent Nuh (as) to these people before
a painful punishment comes to them. Allah (swt) did not say great punishment. Most
of the time, when you hear about a flood, they call it a great flood not a painful flood.
In this instance, Allah (swt) describes it as a painful punishment because He (swt)
knows it is not easy.

Nuh says, Oh my people, I am to you a clear warner.

[Saying], Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.

This meant Nuh (as) did not water anything down not hiding anything. And then Nuh
(as) told them 3 things: (1) enslave yourselves to Allah (swt), (2) protect yourselves from
His anger, and (3) obey me (Nuh). Every ayah has some Arabic riddle.
In the third ayah, Nuh (as) used shortened -ni in the word atiuni (instead of -nii sign
of ownership) because he meant it for Allah (swt) not for himself. Only Allah (swt) can
help his people. (The prophets never asked for anything in return.)
Ibada You alone we worship; we enslave ourselves to You alone
Whenever we see the word abd, we should remind ourselves of our relationship with
Allah (swt): master and slaves the master has no obligation and has all of the rights;
the slave has no rights but has all obligations. We should not enslave ourselves to any
isms (capitalism, communism), music, poetry, human being, rather we should only
serve Allah (swt), the One who created us; the One who knows what is best for us. If
we enslave ourselves only to Allah (swt), preserve His rights, then He will surely
protect us.

1st Section: Allah (swt) to Nuh (as)

Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time
[set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.

When you embrace Islam, all your past sins will be forgiven. Allah (swt) will delay you to
your appointed time.
Ajal means a lot of things such as, deadline; death; appointed time. In this ayah, its
death because its an appointment with the angel of death. That time has been brought
forward because of your disbelief. If you believe, youll regain that time. But when that
time comes, then it cannot be delayed.

STORY of NUH

2nd Section: Flashback

He said, My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their
fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant
with [great] arrogance.

Then I invited them publicly.

Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly.

And said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers.

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide
for you rivers.
12

Bayyinah Philippines:

STORY of NUH

2nd Section: Flashback

He said, My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.
Why did Nuh (as) say night first thats for emphasis. That he invited the people not only
in day time. He didnt stick to the usual 8-5 work routine most of us have. He invited
people night and day, even though the result was very little, because it was his obligation
given by Allah (swt).
The people who do not want to believe would try to block out the voice of Nuh (as) and
they would cover themselves (hide from him). They were stubborn/astakbar.
Astakbar tells us a story of seed. The farmer gives it the right amount of (1) water (2)
sunlight, and (3) soil but the seed refuses to grow. The analogy is that Nuh (as) is like a
farmer giving his people whatever they need. He was sincere, he spoke good words, he
does not insult. The prophets did not have to study how to give dawah they were
natural and were taught by Allah (swt) directly. Nuh (as) did everything correctly but the
astakbar/stubborn still refuses to listen.
What was the reason for all this? Nuh (as) was not offensive but they were stubborn
because theyre so arrogant. What is arrogance? I know the truth but I refuse to believe
in it. Someone comes to me and gives me advice, I refuse it.
Dont look at the messenger but the message.
Some were not stubborn, they were afraid what will the people say?. Even if they know
it is the right way, they still refuse it because they care about what people will say.

Bayyinah Philippines:

STORY of NUH

2nd Section: Flashback

Nuh (as) gave them (those who think of what other people will say) his khutba/sermon
o Seek His forgiveness; He continuously forgives
Ghafara has three levels: 1. To ask 2. To want forgiveness 3. To try to obtain
forgiveness.
When you seek forgiveness, ask, want, and try.
There are people who ask but never understand Allah (swt) does not
respond to you if youre making dua but your mind is elsewhere.
Try I have to make some actions or changes.
As long as you continue to ask want, and try, Allah will help you
o No sin is bigger than Allah (swt); He is unlimited and your sin is limited. Just ask Him in
the right way, and want, and try. He forgives all the time.
o What happens when one seeks His forgiveness? He (swt) sends the sky upon the one
asking; the people of Nuh (as) suffered drought for a long time in order to be
reminded of Allah (swt). He (swt) wanted these people to seek His Forgiveness so that
He (swt) would send down the rain again.
o Musa (as) used to talk to Allah (swt) and no rain fell. Musa asked, why is there no
rain? He was told by Allah (swt) that it was because someone from Bani Israil
committed a sin, hence, rain was held. Musa (as) then gathered them to convey the
message. All of a sudden, rain started pouring again. Musa (as) asked Allah (swt),
why the sudden rain fall? Allah (swt) replied, The man already sought My
forgiveness. Musa (as) asked again, Whos that?. He (swt) said, For so many years
he committed the sin, he asked forgiveness, We will not expose him.
o We should seek Allahs (swt) forgiveness before asking for rain. Thats how we should
see calamity we cannot say oh Allah, why did you do such and such?, we have to
ponder upon a few things:
Maybe were not seeking forgiveness enough. Maybe were doing bad things so
we have to ask for forgiveness and start again.
If you seek His forgiveness, Hell give you satisfaction and contentment. We fall into
competition because we forget about our purpose.

Its alright to aspire for worldly gains, but do not chase them so much and
do not use them to show off. Remember, intention changes everything.

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp.

And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

3rd Section: Reminder to the People

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur.
Reminder for us not to take Allah (swt) for granted.
How much do we consider Allah (swt) and how much do we respect Him? For some
people they go to hajj every year or umrah. And then as soon as its over, they go back to
their old ways. They do whatever they want.
Make sure that we give Allah (swt) the respect, worship and everything that He deserves.
He (swt) does not need our salah and zakat, we need it. We should give Him due respect.
We are His slaves and we have to act like it. He reminds us of who He is and the favor He
gives us. We are insaan so we forget, we forget about Him. In this passage, He reminds us
who He is.

While He has created you in stages?

Dont you know that Allah (swt) put you thru the stages of life? That is a blessing from
Him that He gave you this life. Have you not seen the heavens how they were created?
They seem unlimited. Every time they find a new planet, new star, they find five others or
hundred others behind it.

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp.
Allah (swt) has made the moon a light and the sun a lamp. Sun is the lamp because its the
source. Light for the moon because its a reflection of the sun
The position of the earth is so precise -- not too close nor too far from the sun and moon.

Bayyinah Philippines:

3rd Section: Reminder to the People

And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.
He compares us to plants. Every plant grows differently; similarly, we are all different.

Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.
Because we are all from the earth, He will return us to it one day. Well all be in grave. The
king next to the pauper and the rich all will be returned to the earth.
How will Allah (swt) bring us back to life? Once youre in the ground, the flies eat you,
bones turn to dust, how can he bring you back? Muhammad said, Theres an old man
who regretted his life. I do not have enough deeds. Before he died, he called his children:
I want you to burn my body/cremate and take the ashes of my body as soon as theres storm,
let the wind throw me away. On the Day of Judgment, this man will be raised and asked,
why did you do this?, O Allah, because I feared meeting you; I feared your wrath I feared
that I will be held accountable. Allah will forgive this man for his misunderstanding. He
feared Allah (swt) so Hell forgive this man and send him to Jannah.
Lesson: Allah (swt) can bring us back no matter what condition we are in.
Points from Ustadh Adam Jamal:
We have so many things that Allah (swt) created. He made it easy for us to live but why are
there people starving? Thats not because of what Allah (swt) has put, but because of other
people if people are not greedy, there will be no poverty.
In a world where Allah has put enough, its not enough because of us. When we eat, we
should not waste.

4th Section: Efforts of the Opposition Leaders

Noah said, My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and
children will not increase him except in loss.
This section talks about the efforts against Nuh (as) and Islam
The detractors of Islam say, If he was really a prophet, he would have come from the sky.
The people who followed Nuh (as) and Muhammad were the weak in the society but
they only followed the prophets. Meanwhile, those who were afraid followed the chiefs.
They created the propaganda against the prophets. Nuh (as) was accused of being crazy,
doing magic -- they insulted the prophets and created the propaganda. They started to
make threats after the propaganda. They threaten and tortured the people from the time
of Nuh (as) to Muhammads . Some of those who were threatened left Islam. These
chiefs misguided the people.
My master, dont leave a single one of them even in their homes. Why did he make this
dua? Because they will misguide the rest of Allahs slaves. By leaving these people in the
earth, they are causing harm to the believers. Those children will cause corruption in the
land and they will disbelieve.
We often give dawah only for 5 minutes and then make dua against the people who
refuse to listen and believe. Nuh (as) reached his concluding dua after calling on people
for 950 years. He made the dua after seeing generations of people and when Allah (swt)
told him that they will not believe.
Prophet Muhammad , despite Taif, made a dua without mentioning what the
people did to him. Instead, he (saw) asked Allah (swt) for His Pleasure. Thereafter, the
angel of mountain told him to give him the go signal to destroy the people of Taif but
he refused and said, If they didnt believe, then maybe from their children there will
be those who will believe. After Makkah, a group of the believing people from Taif
came. The prophets look at the situation from a long-term perspective. Nuh (as) saw
that even the children of his nation will cause corruption thus the dua.

And Noah said, My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an
inhabitant.

Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every]
wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the
believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in
destruction.
And then he asked for the forgiveness of his family and all believing women and men; he
also asked for the increase in the destruction of the disbelievers.
o The prophets do not use their dua just for any other occasions they use it for special
reasons. At the closing of the surah, the flood is not mentioned because the curtains
have closed. It signals that the punishment has been done and causes the readers to
see the power of the prophets dua.
One hadith about Prophet
On the Day of Judgment, all the people will be in the court of Allah (swt) and He will judge
each one for his/her deeds (good/bad). Including the prophets.
Nuh (as) will be with his people and in the court of Allah (swt), his people will be asked,
Did Nuh convey the message? And the people will lie in front of Allah (swt).
On that day, the ummah of Muhammad will be there as well. They will come on to the
side of Nuh (as), so that all of them will help Nuh (as) and bear witness that he did
whatever he could to convey the message and the chiefs still misguided each other and
spread propaganda about Islam and the prophet. The ummah will testify.
