Before preaching Allah’s religion
the Umah of Nuh forgot Allah and started worshipping
idols. Allah Taala sent Prophet Nuh to preach tem oneness of Allah. When Nuh
(A.S) showed them the right path, they did not believe him. Rich people insulted and made fun of him. Their followers followed
them. They were shocked
that a person who is neither rich nor an angle has
right to guide us? And
we are supposed to follow his orders. When they saw poor and weak people
standing under his umbrella of guidance they said
with arrogance that we are not like them and we will not accept you as our guide. They thought those were poor and
blind people. They don’t have right to give
suggestions and if they pay attention to Nuh’s
teachings they would insist him that they cannot sit with them. Prophet Nuh
would answer them that I can’t do this because they are Allah’s virtus
people and if I did so Allah will punish me. I am afraid of that punishment. All are equal for him accept the pious and noble. They are
superior to all. He further
said that I am messenger of
Allah to you. Those people are untouchable for you because they are not rich like you.They are not poor for Allah Hazrat Nuh also cleared that he
don’t want any return or money from them. No doubt, only Allah (who
knows all the secrets passing in the deep hearts) can
give me reward. Prophet Nuh did his best to bring his Ummah to the right path
but they did not follow his teachings. They said that don’t force us. We
will not follow your teachings and do whatever you
and your Allah can do. He replied that punishment is
not in my hand .It is in His Hands. When He will order everything
will happen. When Nuh (A.S)
saw that he preached Allah’s religion for nine hundred years but his ummah
didn’t follow his teachings then he became very sad.
The boat
Allah (who
has the power to shake the earth beneath our feet) accepted his pray and
decided to punish them but He ordered Nuh (A.S) to make a boat He decided to
prevent Pious and noble from punishment. When he was
making the boat KUFFAAR used to laugh at him they used to say that how nice!
When will be drowning then Nuh and his followers will be safe in this boat. How
foolish You are? Prophet Nuh used to answer them and remained busy in making boat. At last,
his boat was completed. Now it was time for Allah to do what He wanted to do and Prophet Nuh noticed that
first symbol which was told
him that was a water bloom from the bottom of earth.
Then Allah sent him message to take his family, a pair of each living animal and his (forty) followers on the boat. When he did so, then it was
ordered to sky to start raining and to wells to start
overflowing. Boat was safely flowing over water.
Kanan son
of Hazrat Nuh
At the time of flood, Hazrat Nuh prayed for the forgiveness
of his son but Allah stopped him from doing so. Allah promised him that He will
not punish his deserving so Prophet Nuh prayed for his son Kanaan but Allah
became angry with him. He said that if one does not know about a thing then he
should not ask questions
about that thing. Then Nuh (A.S) asked for his
forgiveness and Allah forgave him. Allah said to hazrat Nuh to take
his family on the boat but your whole family will not be safeT.Allah Has
decided to punish some of them. Hazrat Nuh was very disappointed by
his wife because he knew that she will not follow his path .But he in love of his son thought that he may become MOMIN in the
company of noble men in the boat therefore, he prayed for Kanaan but Allah
Taala didn’t liked that. Allah’s promise was only for
those who are at SIRAAT-e-MUSTAKEEM (The right path).Prophet
Nuh said to kanan to be the believer of oneness
ofAllah but he replied that I will climb up a mountain and it will save me. Hazrat Nuh further said that
today, nothing will save due to the orders of Allah.
Suddenly, a tide took Kanan with it.
Mountain
of Jodi
When disaster came to an end then boat of Nuh stopped on
Jodi. In Torah, Jodi is said to be one of the mountains of Ararat. Ararat is actually the name of an Island. Water started drying slowly and
people on boat stepped second time on AllAH’S earth that’s why prophet Nuh is
called ABU ALBASHAR USANI or ADAM SANI means second father of Man.He is also
called AWALURUSL in a Hadees.
