Yunes 71-73
71- AND RECITE TO THEM ABOUT NOAH AS HE SAID TO HIS PEOPLE: “MY PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE TOO PROUD TO HEAR FROM ME THE REMINDER OF ALLAH’S AYAHS, I AM RELYING UPON ALLAH, THEN YOU CONSULT EACH OTHER AND DECIDE YOU AND YOUR PARTNERS, BUT DO NOT LET THE MATTER BE UNCLEAR, THEN LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE WITHOUT DELAY”.
72- “BUT SHOULD YOU TURN AWAY, I DID NOT ASK YOU FOR RECOMPENSE, MY RECOMPENSE IS WITH ALLAH, AND I HAVE BEEN COMMANDED TO BE OF THE MUSLIMS”.
73- THEY CALLED HIM LIAR, THEN WE SAVED HIM AND THOSE WITH HIM IN THE SHIP, AND MADE THEM THE INHERITORS, AND DROWNED THOSE WHO REJECTED OUR AYAHS, THEN LOOK WHAT WAS THE END OF THOSE WE WARNED.
Pride and Arrogance are major obstacles to believing. In Islam, they are considered to be major sins. What happened to Noah, peace be upon him, tells us why. When he talk to his people, they were too proud to believe and follow an ordinary man, just as happened later with Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, with his people, when they said that they would have preferred it had the Quran been sent down to a greater man in their estimation. Allah the Highest said: “AND THEY SAID: “HAD THIS QURAN BEEN SENT DOWN UPON A GREAT MAN FROM THE TWO TOWNS”. (S: 43 A: 31)
People in positions of power and authority often feel too proud to take the advice of the less wealthy and powerful, even good advice from wiser people. This obstructs them from listening to prophets and messengers who receive their revelations from Allah the Highest.
Noah, peace upon him, was advised by Allah the Highest, he received revelations from Him, and also his support and reliance came from Allah the Highest.
The prophets and messengers, peace upon them, are appointed by Allah the Highest, to carry out Allah’s Command and are recompensed by Allah the Highest. Allah the Highest is their ally and supporter, and never lets them down.
Noah, peace upon him, lived for 950 years, it is not exactly know for how long he was a prophet and messenger, but it was probably hundreds of years, he spent his time calling people to Allah’s way. Eventually, having only a few who believed, Noah was angry and he cursed the disbelievers. Allah the Highest told us: “AND NOAH SAID: “MY LORD, DO NOT LEAVE ANY DISBELIEVER LIVING IN A HOME ON EARTH * FOR IF YOU LET THEM LIVE THEY WILL MISGUIDE YOUR SLAVES, AND THEIR OFFSPRING WILL BE NOTHING BUT DISBELIEVERS AND TRANSGRESSORS”. (S:71 A:26-27)
Allah the Highest answered the Dawa of His prophet Noah that came after hundreds of years of trying with them, and only few believed besides his family. They were so few that they were contained in a ship with all the animals and birds which Noah carried with him in the Ark.
Allah the Highest called Noah Muslim, for Islam is the religion of all the prophets and messengers, peace upon them; it is the religion of Submission to Allah’s Will and Commands.
