Prophet Nuh, Noah..

[Alsunna Teacher]

Our Master Nuh
After blasphemy had spread on earth, Allah sent a Prophet named Nuh, (may peace be upon him). He started calling the people to Isl am; to worship only Allah and not to associate partners with Him.

The period between Idris and Nuh was one thousand years.

Our master Nuh moved among the people telling them: "0 you people leave out that which you worship other than Allah: Worship Allah alone. Leave out worshipping those five statues and worship Allah alone."

Our master Nuh, (may peace be upon him), was the first Messenger sent to the blasphemers, to call them to worship Allah alone.

Nuh's Ark

For 950 years our master Nuh, may peace be upon him, moved among the people telling them to worship Allah alone. Most of them belied him, mocked him, and harmed him.

Then Allah revealed to him that no one else among his people would become believers. Those who believed already were about eighty-three (83) people.

Nuh started making supplication to Allah against them, saying:

وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لا تَذَرْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا

[Alsunna Teacher]

Nuh's Ark

Allah revealed to Nuh to build an ark, and Allah revealed how to build it. Nuh built the ark, then went on it. His three children who were believers went with him. Each one of them had his wife with him. People who believed in him from other than his relatives also went on the ark.

On the ark Nuh took a pair of each kind of animal: cows, sheep, and other than that. Allah ordered the earth to spring up its water and the sky to bring down its water. The water of the sky and the water of the earth both joined and the water covered the earth. The ark and those on it survived.

Mount Al-Judiyy
Allah, the Exalted, drowned all the humans who had belied Prophet Nuh and remained worshipping the idols.

Then the earth stopped its water from springing forth and the sky held its rain from falling down. After a while, the earth became as dry as it had been before the flood.

The ark landed on a mountain near the city of Mousil in Iraq. This mountain is called al-Judiyy. Prophet Nuh and those with him came down from the ark on to earth.

The Offspring of Nuh's Children

The ark landed on al-Judiyy, and Prophet Nuh and those with him went on land once again.

Of those who went out of the ark, none had children--except for Sam, Ham, and Yafith -- the three sons of Nuh.

Those three had children and from them the humans spread: the Arabs, Romans, Indians, Africans and others.

All people on earth today are offspring of Nuh's three Muslim sons.
