Hud 32-35
32- THEY SAID: “NOAH, YOU ARGUED WITH US AND YOU ARGUED A GREAT DEAL, BRING US WHAT YOU PROMISE IF YOU ARE TRUTHFUL”.
33- HE SAID: “BUT ALLAH WILL BRING IT TO YOU IF HE WILLS, AND YOU ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO REACH”.
34- “MY ADVISE WILL NOT HELP YOU IF I WISH TO ADVISE YOU WHILE ALLAH WISHES TO TEMPT YOU, HE IS YOUR LORD, AND TO HIM YOU WILL BE RETURNED”.
35- OR DO THEY SAY: HE MADE IT UP. SAY: IF I MADE IT UP, THEN THE SIN OF MY LIE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, AND I HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SINS.
Those who did not believe and did not understand or comprehend Allah’s Might, challenged Noah, peace upon him, to bring Allah’s punishment upon them. Noah however knew that he had not the power or authority to bring this punishment, unless Allah the Highest wills and When He wills. When it happens, the disbelievers will not have any protection or escape.
The prophets and messengers argue their point to guide people to Allah and His Path. Noah argued for 950 year, therefore he argued a great deal. The argument of the prophets and messengers however is not like that of other men. Allah the Highest gives his prophets and messengers the ability and wisdom to make a decisive argument, like the argument of Ibrahim, peace upon him, with King Nimrod. “DID YOU NOT SEE HE WHO HAD A DISPUTE WITH IBRAHIM CONCERNING HIS LORD, AFTER ALLAH HAS GIVEN HIM SOVEREIGNTY, AS IBRAHIM SAID: “MY LORD IS HE WHO GIVES LIFE AND DEATH”. HE SAID: “I GIVE LIFE AND DEATH”. IBRAHIM SAID: “BUT ALLAH BRINGS THE SUN FROM THE EAST, YOU BRING IT FROM THE WEST”. THE DISBELIEVERS WERE CONFOUNDED, AND ALLAH DOES NOT GUIDE THE UNJUST EVIL DOERS”. (S: 2 A: 258)
Allah the Highest sends us guidance, but in the mean time He puts temptations in our way, testing our response.
Allah the Highest may place more temptations in some people’s way, and make their test harder, as a result of His anger upon them. This happened with the people who lived in the seaside town who lived by fishing in the sea. They did not find fish in the sea during weekdays, and found fish in the sea on their Sabbath. Therefore, they went fishing during the Sabbath, during which they were not supposed to work. This particular temptation was due to their wickedness and hypocrisy.
The disbelievers always accused the prophets and messengers of lying concerning what they preach, and Noah’s people accused him of the same. Noah, peace upon him, reminded them of the Day of Judgement, when every and each person will have to account for his/her own deeds, and had he invented lies concerning Allah the Highest, he would have to bear the responsibility of this sin. Indeed, the sin of the person in trust and selected for a special mission is even greater.
