PROPHET: NOAH - NOOH (عليه السلام)

PART: 4

WHY NOAH WAS SENT

The point to be elaborated here is that when corruption took its root in the earth and people started worshipping idols instead of worshipping Allāhﷻ , Allāhﷻ sent Noah as His Messenger, who called them to worship none other than Allah, Who has no partners nor equals, and he forbade them from worshipping anything besides Him.

NOAH, THE FIRST MESSENGER-- ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

He was the first Messenger to be sent of the earth, as the Prophet ﷺsaid in the hadith of Shifa’ah which is narrated from Abu Hurairah: “…Then people will come to Adam and say: ‘O Adam! You are the father of mankind. Allāhﷻ Created you by His Hand, then breathed into you the soul which He created for you, and commanded the angels to prostrate before you and then caused you to dwell in Paradise. Would you then intercede for us with your Lord? Do you not see our plight?’ Adam would reply: “My Lord is very angry; He has never been so angry before and will not be so angry after; He had forbidden me from the Tree but I disobeyed Him. I am only concerned with myself, I am only concerned with myself. Go to somebody else. Go to Noah.’ People would then go to Noah and say: "O Noah! You were the first Messenger to the people of the earth and Allah had called you a grateful slave. Do you not see our plight, do you not see in what condition we are? Would you not intercede for us with your Lord?’ He would reply: “My Lord is very angry; He has never been so angry before and will not be so angry after. I am only concerned with myself, I am only concerned with myself…”

MESSENGERS FROM NOAH’S PROGENY

When Allāhﷻ sent Noah as a Messenger, he called people to worship Allah Alone, without associating with Him any partner. He Asked them not to worship any idols, any statue, and any false deities (TAGHUT). He required of them to believe in the Oneness of Allah, with no God other than Him, and with no Lord other than Him; just as Allah sent every Messenger with the same mission after him; and all of those Messengers were from Noah’s progeny, as the Qur’an said: “And We made his progeny to endure (on this earth).” (37:77) as it says in another Verse about him and Abraham: “…and We made the Prophethood and Book in their progeny…”

What is meant is that every Prophet after Noah was from his progeny and so is the case with Abraham.

SHUN TAGHUT (FALSE DEITIES)

The Qur’an says: “And We certainly sent among every people a Messenger who said: "Worship Allāhﷻ and avoid false deities (TAGHUT).” (16:36)

And it also says: And ask those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: ‘Did We appoint any deities other than the Most Gracious, to be worshipped?’”

(43:45)
