Noah
- At the time of Nuh Alayhi Salam...
- Nuh was the only Muslim, worshipping Allah Azawajal alone at that time
- Everyone besides Nuh is a Mushrik, everyone besides Nuh
- Associates someone else with Allah Azzawajal
- And then Nuh Alayhi Salam came. Nuh... Who Idris is the father of the grandfather of Nuh
- He has a very lofty level. You see, all the Messengers are not on the same level
- Allah says in the Qur'an
- Those Messengers... We have raised some above the others
- Some of them we have spoken to... Allahu Akbar... And Allah has raised the levels
- So there were five who were the highest. They were the most resolute
- And they endured the most for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
- Who were these five?
- "And [mention, O Muhammad Saw], when we took from the Prophets their
covenant and from you [Muhammad SAW] and from Noah and Abraham and Moses
and Jesus, the son of Mary
Surat Al-Ahzab 33:7 - Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala makes mention of the five there
- That we have taken the strong covenant from you (O Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
- And from Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, And Esa(Jesus) son of Maryam
- Allahu' Akbar... So those are the five that were the highest
- And Nuh... It was revealed to him by Allah Azzawajal to call to Allah
- He was a Prophet and he was a Messenger and he is from the top five Prophets and Messengers
- Call to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala day and night!
- In the open and closed, individually and groups
- So everyone... Put so much effort into the Dawah
- Nine hundred and fifty years Alayhi Salam called to Allah nonstop
- Nine hundred and fifty years calling ti Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
- O people! Say: La ilaha illallah! Calling to Allah during the day and night non stop
- All this for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
- It has been narrated that the maximum narration it says;
- That the followers of Nuh in nine hundred fifty years did not exceed eighty people
- Nine hundred and fifty years and Nuh only had eighty people
- Eighty people...
- For the call of nine hundred fifty years... 24/7 work, only gets eighty people
- Some narration even say ten people
- The maximum narration that has been narrated by the scholars...
- Is eighty people... Nuh did not get more than eighty people
- Nine hundred fifty years for eighty people?
Nine hundred fifty years for eighty people? - They were from among the shepards, the poor, the farmers
- The ones who had no fame, no popularity, no particular position, a lot of them were illiterate
- They were nobody's in the eyes of people then
- They were just nobody's... who are they? Take him as an example O brother
- This is the Prophet... This is a Prophet, a Messenger of Allah Azzawajal
- And nine hundred fifty years and accepted what Allah Azzawajal...
- Had written for him for only eighty people to follow him
- And this is an example for every Da'ee that when you call to Allah
- Don't expect the whole world to follow you in one day and night
- Remember Nuh... Nine hundred fifty years for eighty 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 the Hereafter
- And accepted eighty followers, accepted eighty people to listen to him
- Accepted eighty people to follow him, who were we compared to Nuh Alayhi Salam?
- For this is a great lesson for every Da'ee who calls to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala
- It's not about the numbers and it's not about the results that you see...
- It's about the duty that you perform
- It's about the work that you do for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala
- Nuh Alayhi Salam now came to them
- And he said: What are you doing?
- Allah says in the Quran...
- We sent Nuh to his people... To warn them
- We said to him: Oh Nuh, warn your people before a terrible torment comes to them
- A painful punishment comes to them. So Allah is warning now. Gives you a chance
- Allah says... And it's always very direct, Allah says...
- And remember, we sent Nuh to his people. So he said to them... Directly...
- O 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
- So the first message of all the Messengers was calling towards Tawheed
- Calling towards the Oneness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala
- Calling towards leaving the association of partnership with that maker and that creator
- So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala sayss...
He (Nuh) told his people... - I fear over you the punishment of that day (The Great Day), I fear that a punishment will overtake you
- In another place it says; I fear that a very painful torment will overtake you
- So they are listening to this man... He is saying worship One Allah
- And I fear that punishment is overtaking you. They did not want to listen
- NEXT
