Alright guys, welcome back to the channel if you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, finally we're gonna continue with the Prophet series. Today with Prophet Nuq, the first Rasul. Alright guys, I kept you waiting for long enough so we're gonna start with the video in a second, just do me the favor. If you enjoy the Prophet series, leave us a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. With no further ado, let's have a look. After a thousand years minimum, or several thousands of years as generations, it took the Iblis that long to finally influence the children of Adam to commit their first act of shirk. And the shirk took over the world. Now this was the point when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sent down the first Rasul, Nuh Aleyhi Salatu Wa Salam. 950 years calling to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, or people say la ilaha illallah, or people leave the worship that you are worshiping and turn to Allah Azza wa Jal. He was a prophet and he was a messenger and he is from the Ulil Azmi bin Al-Rusul from the top five prophets and messengers. Call to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Day and night, in the open and close, individually and groups, 950 years, aleyhi salam, call to Allah non-stop. They did not want to listen, they wanted to carry on in their ways. And so we opened up the doors of the heavens with gushing water. The gates of the heavens just opened and rain will come down. Not like a normal tap, but a big explosion just came down of water. Allah Azza wa Jal exploded from the ground, springs with water coming out. The water of the sky and the water of the earth met together on a divine command. And as in previous videos, this is truly what we can observe. There have been cataclysmic events, floods have been documented, reported, ice ages and what not. Those catastrophes have happened and they've been reported upon in different civilizations. This is a fact, it's not just a story of the ancients. He was Noah, the son of Lamik, the son of Mithusholah, the son of Khanoukh, who was Idris aleyhi Mithuzalem who lived over 900 years. Idris is the father of the grandfather of Noah, so Noah is his fourth grandson to Idris aleyhi salam. Noah was the first messenger of Allah to the people of the world. And he is one of the five Ulul Azmah. Ulul Azmah, the greatest five of the Ambiya of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, knew he is one of them. The other four are Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, Ibrahim, Musa and Yissa. Peace be upon them all. So he said to them directly, oh my people, worship Allah alone. You have no deity besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, nobody worthy of worship besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. He told them, see you not how Allah has created seven heavens, one above the other, and has made the moon a light during and made the sun a lamp. And Allah has brought you forth from the dust of the earth. Afterwards, he would return you into the earth and bring you forth again on the day of resurrection. And Allah has made for you the earth widespread that you may go about the rain and broad roads. He was dealing with a very, very stubborn people. There were people who had been blessed with wealth and they had been blessed with good progeny. They had been blessed with a lot of good crops. And this was the reason why they became so stubborn because everything was working. In fact, when Nuh alayhi salam came and started to preach, after he preached, that's when these things stopped. So there was a drought. And when the drought came, they said, why is this? All these years, we've been fine with good rain, good crops, good survival, right? And now this man comes along and everything gets damaged. So this man is the crook. He's the one that we need to kill or throw out of this community. If you believe in this message, Allah will give your crops back. Why? He's talking to a civilization that is running on crops. Then he said to them, Allah will give you cattle back. He said to them, Allah will give you crops back. And he said to them, Allah will give your children. He will put blessings in your children. And then he said, oh my lord, I called my people during the day and night every single hour and minute of the day and night. Oh Allah, then I called them in the open. And I called them in clothes. I called them in the day. I called them at night. I went to their houses. I went to their gatherings. I spoke to them individually. I spoke to them in groups. And my call to them and they made them run away from me. He would be giving them dawa. He would be speaking to them and they would put their fingers in the ears or they would cover themselves with their clothes and they would be arrogant and proud. If you're speaking to someone and he starts putting his fingers in his ears and he covers himself up and he acts arrogantly towards you, will you be able to continue to talk to him? New who was doing this for 950 years. 950 years. Just a quick interruption up until now. The story is identical to the story that I grew up with in Orthodox Christianity. It's making dawa night and day publicly and privately. And the more dawa he gives, the worse the situation would become. And the more animosity would become between him and his people. And the people are not listening to talk with. He is speaking to closed ears but he had patience. The chiefs from amongst the people, they said, you are astray. The only main difference here of course is the threat of Islam yet again because he gives dawa and he calls them back to the worship of God alone. However, within the Christian context, there is no emphasis on worshiping God alone. The emphasis in the Christian context is that those people are sinners and they should return to God. They should let go of their sins and return to the good life, so to speak. However, yet again here we do have the red thread. Those people committed shirk and they have to return to worshiping God alone. Ask forgiveness from your Lord. Verily, he is oft forgiving. And listen to the benefits of Istighfar. He will send rain to you in abundance and give you increase in wealth and children. And bestow on you gardens and bestow on your rivers. They went on to argue with Nuh A.S. They say, you're just like a man. You're just a man like ourselves. Especially you. You claim to be a messenger. You claim to be a prophet. But we see you just like us, an ordinary individual. You're drinking like us. You're eating like us. They said, if Allah wanted to send somebody down to us, he would have sent an angel. Nuh A.S. He told his people, oh my people, I am not telling you that I am an angel and I am not telling you that I own the treasures of the earth and I'm not saying that by following me you'll become loaded and I don't know the unseen. So don't come and ask me what's behind the wall and don't come and ask me what are these people going to have tomorrow. I'm not claiming to know the unseen. The next thing that they did now, this is actually very reminiscent of the story of Prophet Muhammad may peace be upon him because people came to him as well and said, why did the Quran not come from the heavens? Why do we need you? You are just a person that we know of. You're just a common human being out of our own town. Why would we trust you? Nuh A.S. That's the same pattern. They thought they can bribe a prophet of Allah. Keep quiet. We'll give you money. How much do you want? Oh my people. That happened to Prophet Muhammad as well. I'm not going to ask any recompense from you. I don't want money for what I am teaching you. My reward is from none but Allah. It's been narrated that the maximum narration says that the followers of Nuh in 950 years did not exceed 80 people. For the call of 950 years, 24-7 work and it gets 80 people. Some narrates even 10 people. 80 people in 950 years, you can work it out in 100 years. How many? One or two. Allahu Akbar. And this is an example for every day that when you call to Allah, don't expect the whole world to follow you one day and night. Remember Nuh, 950 years for 80 people and this is a prophet. This is a messenger who Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala had chosen to be the best of people in this world and the best of people in hereafter and accepted 80 followers. Who were these 80 people? What were their backgrounds? What were their positions and status in the community or in society? This is different from the story that I've been told in the Qur'an context. He had no followers whatsoever but all the other people were forsaken. They weren't popular people. They weren't famous people. They weren't people who had high positions such as the chief of a tribe or the leader of a nation. So the leaders, the wealthy and political leaders, influential men of the society, they came to Nuh and they said that we do not see you know rich powerful people following you. Instead we see the poor destitute people following you. That is a sign of prophecy. Why should we follow you? It's always the poor people that follow the prophets. The lowest of our society is with you. You have to kick out those weak-end slaves otherwise we're not going to listen to you. He said these people appear to be low in terms of worldly standings but you don't know their hearts. They are pious. Allah knows their heart. Who will support me? Who will stand by me? If I kick these people away and Allah want to punish me, who will stand by me? Can't you think? They said if you seize not, if you don't stop on you, you will surely be among those torn to death. We're going to stone you to death. Look at these threats. What did Nuh Aleyhi Salatu Wasalaam do? He knew Allah was with him. Not a day did he raise his hands to say Ya Allah destroy them. He kept on saying Ya Allah guide my people. He is alone against all of the society and he did not tired and he never gave up. Who gave up? His people. They told Nuh, you have been debating with us and this debate has been prolonged. This is taking too long. Can you please end it and bring the punishment of Allah that you said? SubhanAllah. Look at the sabbur of the Nebi. He never gave up and the whole society, one against the whole and they lost. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says and it was inspired to Nuh. None of your people will believe except those who have believed already. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala closed the doors of Thoma. Nuh made his dua after 950 years of patience. He finally made a dua against his people and he said, Oh Allah, leave none of the non-believers on the face of the earth. Nuh said, if you leave them, they will mislead your servants and they will be get none but wicked disbelievers. Nuh alaihi salam. There is a severe difference here as well. I do not remember in the Christian context Nuh praying to God for the elimination of the people, quite the opposite till the very end. Nuh tried to save his people. Plus we responded immediately to our worshipper. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. We are the best of those who respond. Allah says, then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, do not be sad because of what they used to do. Do not grieve over them. And you know why this was said? Because the wife of Nuh alaihi salam did not accept the message. The son of Nuh alaihi salam did not accept the message. They were all very different as well. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reviewed to Nuh. Yet again as I said, there were no followers in the Christian context. It was just Nuh's family. So Nuh and his wife and his children and then a pair of every animal living. That's it. Nobody else. To build an ark, a ship. Nuh alaihi salam had asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to save him and his family and the believers. Allah promised him that he will save him and his family and the believers. But he said, except those who disbelieved. Allah ordered Nuh alaihi salam to go up to a mountain to build the big ship. Nuh alaihi salam came down teaching Nuh how to build the ark. So Nuh started constructing the ark and Nuh stayed 100 years building the ark. So Jubeel alaihi salam is to tell him how to prepare the wood. He tells him to carve the wood and make it curved so that it can sail easily and it can float. And he told him to use nails and wood. Now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands him to build three decks upon the ship. The lowest deck was for animals. The deck above that that's the middle deck was for the human beings passengers and the top most deck was for the birds. At that time there wasn't many trees in his area. So Nuh alaihi salam will plant that tree, wait for it to grow and then Nuh alaihi salam will cut that timber and put it into the ark. 100 years until it became a massive ark. How massive, how big. Some of them say it was 80 yards long. Some of them say 100 and one extreme narration says a thousand yards but minimum 80 yards long and they agree that it was at least 30 yards high. It wasn't an ark or a ship that's open, it's closed. I don't know where those details come from, it was a big ark. It was gonna rain so close it. As he was constructing the ship whenever the chiefs of his people would pass by they would make fun of him, they mocked at him. Oh Nuh did you become a carpenter after your prophet? We saw you're a prophet and they'll mock him and then they told him oh Nuh you build a ship in the middle of the desert of a mountain. There's something wrong with you. There is something wrong with you. Nuh told them if you mock at us so do we mock at you likewise for your mocking and you will know who it is on whom will come a torment that will cover him with disgrace and on whom will fall a lasting torment and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he gave him a sign when that sign takes place take you and your family and your followers and from every from every animal different genders male and female and go into the ark. Yeah again identical. And the sign is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said when water starts to come out of the tannoor then that's the sign for you to go to the ark. Tannoor is the old oven and Nuh alayhi salam waited for that sign and one day water exploded out of the oven so Nuh knew it was oven he called upon his followers and went to the ark and in front of the ark all the animals from the different genders were waiting in line to enter the ark subhanallah. Allah's miracles from every animal male female was waiting outside the ark and Nuh alayhi salam went with his 80 of his followers and his family and his wife Nuh had a non-believing wife she passed away then Allah gave him a believing wife and he had four boys he had Ham and Sam and Yafith and Kanaan three of those Sam Ham Yafith were Muslims and Kanaan was a non-believer when he went on the ark what did he say and that's what we have to remind ourselves of yet again what the word Muslim means because if we talk nowadays to Christians or Jews or anybody else they don't understand what the people giving Dawa here mean at all when they say that those people were Muslims and Muslim is someone that submitted their will to God somebody that believes in one God alone and this is why he says the Muslims and the non-believers that is the main distinction here belief versus non-belief that's important to it was still then came our command and so we opened up the doors of this of the heavens the springs of the earth started gushing with water and rain started falling from the sky the water of the sky and the water of the earth met together on a divine command the waves picked up this ark and knew he's seeing his son in front of his eyes he is telling his son come and join us oh my son embark with us and don't be with the non-believers what did his son reply in arrogance he said he said dad i'm going to go to a high mountain and will save me from the water his father told him there is nothing that can save you on this day except the mercy of Allah he refused waves separated between them and he drowned imagine standing and you see your son in front of your eyes and the waves are separating between you and him slowly and in front of your eyes you know that that's the end of your son what a difficult situation and new called upon his lord answered oh my lord verily my son is of my family and certainly your promise is true and you are the most just of the judge Allah replied immediately to him and said to him he said i know he's not one of your family why in the earlier verse Allah said to him i will save your family except the ones who disbelieved don't dare to ask me something that you have no knowledge of i warn you i admonish you i advise you not to be among the ignorant noh alayhi salam did not hesitate which means that everybody that believes is his family immediately proceed to Allah swt and asked Allah to forgive him the water level was reaching now the peaks of mountains fully not only were the Arabian peninsula but the whole world was covered with water Allah swt says so the ship sailed with them amidst wave-like mountains it is not this ark that saved them from these waves it is the will of Allah swt and the care of Allah swt that will take care of you and save you Allah swt told noh to build the ark because you have to do your part and they'll stay in the ark for six months and Allah swt ordered noh to make dua and Allah make me land on a good landing and you are the best of those who give hospitality Allah swt for six months protected noh and his followers in the ark and then Allah swt ordered the ground to swallow the water and then the flood's gone noh alayhi salam is in a cover he doesn't know six months under the rain water from the top water from the bottom so noh alayhi salam used to send bird used to send a pigeon and every day that pigeon will come back with nothing so one day he sent that pigeon and came back with a leaf from the from an olive tree again those absolutely the same that now the water is drying and then after that for a few days he sent that pigeon again he came back with mud on his feet so noh realized that now the water is dry and where did the ark stop it stopped on a mountain called judi and that mountain is in turkey the ark subhanallah was built on a mountain and landed on a mountain see it hardly find and yet again if you look into certain documentaries such as ancient apocalypse yet again no i'm not sponsored but it was a fascinating watch you will see that there are certain claims that the ark of noah has been found in turkey at that time Allah says and we left the ark as a sign as a miracle can anyone deny this at the time the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam this ark was still there and people found it and people witnessed it and people spoke about it and today they still talk about its fossils and the scientists are discovering because they know that the ark is actually still there Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said oh nooh get down from the ship with peace from us and may blessings be upon you and on the people who are with you and then nooh alayhi salam came out with 80 people and only 80 people living on the surface of this earth Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saved him and there's 80 people and the rest of the animals and nooh alayhi salam came out knowing that there is no one living on the surface of this earth and not only this Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made all the followers of nooh not to have any descendants now more children all the descendants stopped all the wives were barren except nooh and his family and that's why they called nooh the second Adam because all the descendants go back to nooh alayhi salam no one else at that point nooh alayhi salam had three sons what their names were sam or sham ham and yafi so what's the lesson be patient the end the end result the winners in the end are going to be who the ones who have takwa the ones who will win are the believers nooh did win but he won after 950 years from the progeny of sam they came from him the arabs the persians and the romans from yafith they came the prosperity of the turks some tribe called the saca libas and yajuj and majuj gog and mogog and the sloths and from ham so i come from him started the lineage of what they call the cops sudanese and the barbers so they're dark-looking people and from the children of sam started spread all the way into the arabic peninsula and all the way to yemen and hadramot and one of the tribes a tribe by the name of aad comes from and they started worshiping things stones and items shirk engaging in shirk so Allah has sent hood to the ad the pupil of ad all right this is it for today's video absolutely fascinating ending here because you can see the shirk begins again it is never stopping over and over again apparently and this is what i love about the islamic interpretation because here yet again you have a red thread a clear explanation of people that worship one god and then they're falling off they're committing shirk yet again a messenger is sent to them he wants them some listen some don't and then they're wiped out or their civilization crumbles or what not as i said throughout the video i grew up with a very very similar story there is not much of a difference other than that we have many more details here within this story and moreover within the christian context unfortunately noah is an alcoholic he gets drunk so thank god within the islamic context we do not have noah drinking alcohol because even from the christian perspective where it is not focused on worshiping one god alone but more on the deeds of the people we have to ask ourselves the question of course if noah wants those people not to engage in their sinful behavior why would he then be drinking that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever he wouldn't be a good role model for the people all right guys but this is it for today's video if you enjoyed it leave the thumbs up if you have subscribed already guys please do so
