PROPHET: NOAH - NOOH (عليه السلام)

PART: 10

This Ummah will bear witness on the basis of the witness of their Prophet ﷺ that Allah sent Noah in truth and revealed the truth to him and he conveyed that truth to his people fully and completely. He told them every thing that was of benefit to them, forbade them form every thing that was evil.

This is what every Prophet did to his people.

NOAH WARNED ABOUT DAJJAL

Noah even warned them of Dajjal (Antichrist), though he was not expected to come out in his days. The Prophet ﷺ said: “I warn you from him, and no Prophet came but he warned his people from him. Even Noah warned his people. But I am telling you one of his characteristics which no Prophet told his people about him. Know that he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed.”  In another narration the Prophet ﷺ said: “…he shall bring With him the likeness of Paradise and Hell. But what he claimed to be Paradise is Hell.  I warn you as Noah warned his people of him before.” (Al-Bukhari)

DESCRIPTION OF THE ARK

Thauri Said: Allah commanded him to build the Ark 80 cubits (Dhira) in length, and to paint it with tar inside and outside, and its bow to be curved, so it could easily sail in the water.

Qatadah says: Its length was 300 cubits (Dhira) with a width of 50 cubits. That is how it in the Torah as I saw it. 

Hasan Basri said: Its length was 600 cubits with 300 cubits width. 

But Ibn Abbas said: Its length was 1000 cubits with a width of 600 cubits. It is also said that its length was 2000 cubits and width was 100 cubits.

THREE-STOREY ARK

However, it is reported unanimously that its height was 30 cubits and it was three-storey deck ship, every deck with the height of 10 cubits. The bottom deck was kept for animals and cattle, the middle deck was for human being and the upper deck was for birds.

GUIDANCE OF ALLAH IN CONSTRUCTING THE ARK

Allah says:  “He said: My Lord! Help me for they accused me of falsehood,’ So We revealed to him: ‘Construct the Ark under our Eyes and as We reveal…” (23:26-27). 

These Verses mean: Build it as per Our Command, and as We watch you building it, so We will be guiding you how to construct it in a way that it could cope with this mighty Flood!
