Son; Who was he, Baba?

Father; I’ll tell you, my son... Now listen carefully!

Father; Bismillah!

Allah (SWT) sent Prophet Nuh (as) to earth one thousand years after sending Prophet Adam (as). The population on the earth had increased many folds with the aid of now. And by this time, the evil Shaytan had played his dirty tricks on mankind, and people had started worshipping idols. 

It was at some point in this time that Allah despatched any other prophet to earth, Prophet Nuh (as) to guide the humans again! But it wasn’t going to be a smooth activity for the prophet. “Fear Allah, and do what Allah says” shouted the prophet to absolutely everyone. But the human beings didn’t want to listen.

They shook their heads and persisted worshipping the idols. The prophet was an tremendous speaker and he become very patient too.

“Don’t you remember that it becomes Allah who created this entire international?” shouted the prophet.“It was Allah who created the solar, the moon and the celebs you spot in the sky. He created the rivers, the mountains, the trees and everything that you see around. He did all this for you. Then why are you now not displaying him any recognition? Why are you worshipping these idols? But the humans turned their backs on him pronouncing “Ha... Who're you to advise us? You are just every other guy, and we suppose that you are lying. Go away, and go away us on own. However, there have been suitable Muslims on earth too! Maximum of them were vulnerable and poor.

They listened to the words of the prophet and realized that they were committing a sin by worshipping the idols Now there were two different groups of people on earth. One who worshipped Allah (SWT), and the others who persevered in idol worship 

Nuh continued preaching to the people for decades. The idol worshippers soon became tired of the prophet. “You’ve been preaching lies for lengthy sufficient,” they stated. “we're going to stone you if you do now not stop”

But the prophet overlooked them and endured calling the human beings tirelessly. He preached to them during the day and the nighttime. On many occasions, he was stoned by the idol worshippers, while preaching to the crowd He was even beaten with the sticks!“You are no distinctive from us” shouted the idol worshippers. “You are no prophet! You're simply every other guy, and why have to concentrate on you?” “I’m telling you the reality” the prophet pleaded to them.  “You are committing a sin by worshipping the idols” But the people didn’t listen and they beat him again! “I fear for you! Allah is going to punish you sooner or later”  the prophet shouted to them. But the people had no shame, and they said “he is a fo fool, don’t listen to him” All this ache did no longer let the Prophet stop calling out to the human beings. He persisted preaching to them for nine hundred and fifty years!

The disbelievers saved making amusing of the prophet, and by means of now that they had taken things too far! Nuh (as) became disappointed through now. Whereas the wide variety of disbelievers saved development and growth. 

One night when the prophet turned to impart his prayers, Allah spoke to him!! “Don’t be unhappy Nuh” God stated to the prophet “you have got accomplished what you had been requested to. I'm going to punish all the human beings on the planet for their wrongdoings. Everyone on earth is going to die, except the Muslims and the animals?” Stated Allah (SWT).

Because of the first step, God then requested the prophet to plant many bushes! Nuh (as) didn’t apprehend the cause at the back of this, but he listened to Allah and started planting bushes as he changed into advised. He additionally asked the best Muslims, who listened to him to do the equal. They did this for more than one hundred years!

After a few years, Allah spoke to the prophet again! This time he requested the Prophet to start constructing a ship!! “It has to be a large deliver, that may accommodate a couple of every animal on this earth,” stated, Allah. The prophet turned under pressure. He didn’t recognise the way to construct a ship, and nobody had ever made a ship earlier than! In spite of this, the prophet started making the ship with the help of the Makers. First, they made plans for constructing the ship 

No one is aware of the precise size of the delivery, some say it had a period of 600ft, and others say it had a duration of 2400ft!! Something it changed into, the ship became positive going to be a big one! “we will help you to build the ship,” said his children, and the Muslims, and they joined the prophet.                               

 

First, the prophet had to choose an area for constructing the ship He chose the mountains some distance far from the city. The prophet amassed the equipment and set out to build the ship They began slicing down the timber for wood. Yes, it becomes the identical timber that he had planted greater than one hundred years returned! Then they started constructing the ship in keeping with the plan. The guys worked very hard, day and night to build the delivery. Whilst the disbelievers saw the prophet constructing a deliver on the pinnacle of a mountain, they started out making fun of him! You are such an old fool” they stated... “Why would you in all likelihood need a ship so large,” The others stated, “And how are you going to take it to the ocean?” The others stated, “And how are you going to take it to the ocean?” “you'll come to recognise very soon” spoke back the prophet. The people didn’t recognise why the prophet changed into constructing the deliver, and the concept that the prophet had lost his thoughts! The prophet and his men kept running tough.

After many months, the ship changed sooner or later geared up! They then thanked Allah for assisting them to finish the ship The time for the flood changed to nearing daily. One night Allah told the prophet that he will start flooding the earth, the day while the prophet sees water coming out of the range in his house! You see, this big ship built with the aid of the Prophet had three specific sections! 

Son; What have been the different sections for Baba? 

Father; They had been for one of a kind styles of animals the first one changed into for birds. The second part of the shape was for people, and the third part became for animals.

Son; Mashallah..... That became superb

Father; sure my son And at the same time as the day of the flood got nearer, animals and the birds started out arriving separately! They had been arriving in pairs- one male and a female! There were elephants, giraffes, lions, rabbits, and parrots and shortly the ship turned packed with all the kinds of animals and birds from the earth! And in the future, like God had advised the prophet, water all of sudden started coming out of the stove in his kitchen. This became the signal Nuh (as) became anticipating! He knew that the time for flood had arrived! Whilst he went out, he noticed that it had started raining too! Without wasting any time, he ran out and known as all the true Muslims who had helped him to build the ship. He asked all of them to board the ship right now. The disbelievers didn’t apprehend what was occurring, so they stored laughing at the prophet.

“have a look at the vintage fool,” they stated. “what is he going to do with all those animals and men” The prophet disregarded them and asked his better halves and sons to board the ship quickly. Everyone obeyed him, besides one of his spouses, and her son who have been not his followers... “I'm able to save myself from the water,” his son stated. “Don’t worry approximately me” The water stages had long gone up through now, so the prophet ran to board the ship. A horrible flood broke out, and the water degrees started to upward push rapidly. The earth's crust moved, and ocean flooring commenced rising which induced it to flood the dry lands!! The rains didn’t prevent for hours both! By using now humans realized that what the prophet advised them turned into genuine and that they ran in the direction of the mountains to store themselves. The prophet noticed that his spouse and son have been mountaineering a mountain to break out from the water. So he shouted to them “COME AND BOARD THE deliver, keep yourself!” but they neglected him and climbed to the pinnacle of the mountain. Then a big wave, bigger than the mountain they stood on, came and hit them, killing each of them!! 

Those significant waves killed all different disbelievers as properly!! The water kept growing and rising, and after some time, the earth became absolutely filled with water! Then Nuh (as) said “Bismillah”! Whilst the prophet uttered those words, the deliver commenced transferring! The rains had stopped by now, however, the entire earth changed into filled with water. The prophet knew that he needed to hold sailing for a long long term.

Son; but didn’t the animals harm others? How did they live collectively?

Father; The ship had 80 people in it, and the prophet had taken precautions to shop sufficient meals for the men and the animals. Allah had all of it planned, my son. He made the ship appropriate for the silent sheep as well as the violent lion! All of the violent animals were down with some of the alternative illnesses they all have been dwelling on collectively, however, the prophet faced a number of hassles due to the rats. They had been everywhere, going for walks up and down, nibbling there, nibbling right here... They were truly the troublemakers. Then the prophet prayed to God, and it become then that Allah created the cats! The cats hunted down the rats, and after someday, the rats began behaving as well. Like that Allah (SWT) solved many troubles that the prophet needed to face during the journey. They had sailed for about 100 and fifty days by way of now, and they couldn’t locate land anywhere they may see. The prophet and the men waited and waited for many days.

 The prophet then decided to ship a crow to see if it is able to discover land everywhere. However, the crow didn’t return in any respect Then the prophet despatched a dove looking for the land. The dove flew away, and after some days again with a branch of the olive tree in its beaks! The prophet and his circle of relatives were really glad, as they knew that they have been near the land! 

The ship sailed further for a while and subsequently reached on the pinnacle of the Jordi mountain. The prophet stated “Bismillah”, and then the ship stopped shifting! After touring for more than one hundred and fifty days, their journey had in the end come to an end The prophet launched all of the animals, birds and bugs first into the land. They went out and populated the earth and returned again. The prophet and different Muslims came out of the ship, and the primary thing he did became to place his forehead on the ground in prostration! And that changed into a new beginning for the human race!

Son; That became this type of notable tale Baba!

Father; Masha Allah... I’m glad you appreciated it, my son. Okay, that’s focused on these days, I’ll let you know another tale day after today my son. 

Son; thanks, Baba!
