PROPHET: NOAH - NOOH (عليه السلام)

PART: 14

NOAH CALLS HIS SON!

And Noah called out to his son who had kept himself at a distance: “O my son! Embark with us, and do not be with the disbelievers.’ His son said: ‘I will betake myself to the mountain that will protect me from the water.’ Noah said: ‘There is no protection today from Allah’s Decree, except that He should have mercy.’ And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.” (11:42-43)

This was Noah’s son Yam, who was the brother of Shem, Ham and Japheth. Some said that his name was Kenan. He was a disbeliever and wrongdoer. But those who, though, not related to his father, but were his followers, escaped the Punishment.

THE FLOOD RECEDES, THE ARK RESTS UPON MOUTN JUDI, ALL THE WRONGDOERS DROWN!

“And then it was said: ‘O earth swallow your water, and O sky! cease your rain!’ And the water abated and the Command was fulfilled and the Ark came to rest upon Mount Judi, and it was said: “Away with those who do wrong!” (11:44).

 When no one was left of those who were wrongdoers and who worshipped other than Allah, Allah commanded the earth to swallow up the water, and commanded the heaven to cease raining. The Command was fulfilled and the punishment was inflicted. They were deprived of the Mercy of Allah and from His forgiveness because of their stubborn attitude towards Him.

NOAH’S APPEAL TO ALLAH TO SAVE HIS SON

Allah, then mentioned Noah’s appeal to Him regarding his son, and his request to Him not to drown his son. He said that You promised me that You will save my family with me and my son was one of my family, so how was he drowned?

ALLAH SAYS HIS SON WAS NOT FROM HIS FAMILY

He was answered that his son was not from his family members whom Allah has promised to rescue. What He said was: “and your family, except those of them against whom the Word has already been spoken…” (23:27). This son of his was from those against whom Allah’s Decree to drown them was already ordained, because of his disbelief and disobedience. So he sided with the disbelievers and headed for the same natural consequences.
