And indeed We sent Nuh
(Noah)to his people, and he stayed among them a thousand years less fifty
years[inviting them to believe in the Oneness of Allah (Monotheism ),and
discard the false gods and other deities];so the Deluge over took them while
they were zalimun (wrong doers, polytheists ,disbelievers).Then We saved him
and those with him in the ship, and made it ((the ship)an Ayah(a lesson ,a
warning )for the Alamin (mankind and jinn ). :Surat Al-Ankabut :verse -14-15
And indeed We sent Nuh(Noah)to
his people ,and he said :”O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah
(God) but Him(Islamic monotheism).Will you not then be afraid of (of Him, i.e
of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?”But the chiefs of
his people who disbelieved said:”He is no more than a human being like you, he
seeks to make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed ,He surely could have
sent down angels. Never did we hear such a thing among our fathers of old. “He
is only a man in whom is madness so wait for him a while.”
Nuh (Noah) said :”O my Lord
!Help me because they deny me.”So We revealed to him (saying) Construct the
ship under Our eyes and under Our Revelations (guidance).Then when Our Command
comes,and water gushes forth from the oven, take on board of each kind two(male
and female ),and your family, except those thereof against whom the word has
already gone forth .And address Me not in favor of those who have done wrong
.Verily ,they are to be drowned. And when you have embarked on the ship ,you
and whoever is with you ,then say:”All praise and thanks are to Allah`s Who has
saved us from the people who are Zalimun(i.e oppressors, wrong doers, polytheists
,those who have join others in worship with Allah.)”And say : My Lord! Cause me
to land at blessed landing place, for you the best of those who bring to land”
....And, then after them ,We created another generation. Surat Al muminun :
verse 23-29
The people of Nuh (Noah)
denied (their messenger)before them. They rejected Our slave ,and said :A mad
man!”And he was insolently rebuked and threatened. Then he invoke his Lord
(saying )I have been overcome ,so help me !”So We opened the gate of the heaven
with water pouring forth .And We caused springs to gush forth from the earth.
So the waters (of the heaven and earth )met for a matter predestined. And we
carried him on a (ship )and nails made of planks and nails .Floating under Our
,Eyes a reward for him who had been rejected! And indeed We have left this as
a sign .Then is there any that will
remember (or receive admonition)?Then how (terrible) was My torment and My
Warnings? Al-Qamar verse :9-17
Verily when
the water rose beyond its limit[Noah`s flood ],We carried you(mankind)in the
floating [ship that was constructed by Nuh (Noah).] A AlHaqqah: verse :11-12
