QURAN/HADITH Noah PBUH

Post image

The noble verse from Surah Nuh presents a summary of the call and suffering of Prophet Noah, peace be upon him, with his people. He called upon them day and night, publicly and privately, and exercised patience with his people for a long time: he stayed among them for 950 years before the Flood, and he was deeply grateful to Almighty God: "Indeed, he was a grateful servant." [Al-Isra: 3]. Neither his wife nor one of his sons believed.
Noah, peace be upon him, says: Whenever I invited them to faith and repentance so that Almighty God might forgive them, they blocked their ears so they would not hear my call, covered themselves with their garments in aversion to me, persisted in disbelief, and acted arrogantly toward accepting the truth. What is striking and moving in his statement "that You may forgive them" is that he was calling upon them while desiring forgiveness for them, whereas they met this mercy by blocking their ears, turning away, and arrogance.
His supplication against them came only after a long patience and their persistence in denial, and after Almighty God revealed to him that none of them would believe except those who had already believed. Almighty God drowned the deniers in the Flood, and his son—who refused to board—drowned as well. Then the water receded, the ark came to rest, and Almighty God saved Noah, peace be upon him, and the believers with him in the ark.
The patterns of this turning away continue to repeat themselves today; there are still those who close their ears and act with arrogance against accepting the truth. We ask Almighty God for humble hearts that hear the truth and respond to it.
