Worshiping anything other than Allah is a tragedy that results not only in the loss of freedom
(by worshiping anything other than Allah, man becomes enslaved to Satan, who is himself a creature, and becomes harnessed to his own baser qualities)
Its serious effect reaches man's mind and destroys it as well.
Almighty Allah created man and his mind with its purpose set on achieving knowledge,
the most important of which is that Allah alone is the Creator and all the rest are worshipers (slaves).
Therefore, disbelief in Allah, or polytheism,
results in the loss of freedom, the destruction of the mind, and the absence of a noble target in life
:Noah's Reasoning with his People
Allah in His mercy sent His messenger Noah to guide his people.
Noah was an excellent speaker and a very patient man.
He pointed out to his people the mysteries of life and the wonders of the universe.
He pointed out how the night is regularly followed by the day and that the balance between these opposites was designed by Allah the Almighty for our good.
The night gives coolness and rest while the day gives warmth and awakens activity.
The sun encourages growth, keeping all plants and animals alive, while the moon and stars assist in the reckoning of time, direction and seasons.
He pointed out that the ownership of the heavens and the earth belongs only to the Divine Creator
Therefore, he explained to his people, there cannot have been more than one deity.
He clarified to them how the devil had deceived them for so long and that the time had come for this deceit to stop.
Noah spoke to them of Allah's glorification of man,
how He had created him and provided him with sustenance and the blessings of a mind.
He told them that idol worshipping was a suffocating injustice to the mind.
He warned them not to worship anyone but Allah and described the terrible punishment Allah would mete out if they continued in their evil ways
Division Among Noah's People
The people listened to him in silence.
His words were a shock to their stagnating minds,
as it is a shock to a person who is asleep under a wall
which is about to fall and who is vigorously awakened.
This person may be alarmed and may even become angry although the aim was to save him
Noah's people were divided into two groups after his warning.
His words touched the hearts of the weak, the poor, and the miserable and soothed their wounds with its mercy.
As for the rich, the strong, the mighty and the rulers, they looked upon the warning with cold distrust.
They believed they would be better off if things stayed as they were.
Therefore, they started their war of words against Noah
