Noah's Appeal to His People
Allah the Almighty related what Noah faced:
"Verily, We sent Noah to his people (saying):
"Warn your people before there comes to them a painful torment."
He said:
"0 my people! Verily,
I am a plain warner to you,
that you should worship Allah (Alone),
be dutiful to Him, and obey me.
He (Allah) will forgive you of your sins and respite you to an appointed term.
Verily, the term of Allah when it comes,
cannot be delayed, if you but knew."
He said:
"0 my Lord! Verily,
I have called my people night and day
but all my calling added nothing but to (their)flight from the truth.
And verily!
Every time I called unto them that
You might forgive them,
they thrust their fingers into their ears,
covered themselves up with their garments,
and persisted (in their refusal),
and magnified themselves in pride.
Then verily,
I called to them openly aloud;
then verily,
I proclaimed to them in public,
and I have appealed to them in private,
I said (to them):
'Ask forgiveness from your Lord;
Verily,
He is Oft-Forgiving;
He will send rain to you in abundance;
and give you increase in wealth and children,
and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.
What is the matter with you, that you fear not Allah (His Punishment),
and you hope not for reward (from Allah or you believe not in His Oneness).
While He has created you in(different) stages
first Nutfah,
then Alaqa,
and then Mudgha
See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens
one above another,
and has made the moon a light therein
and made the sun a lamp?
And Allah has brought you forth from the dust of earth.
Afterwards He will return you into it (the earth),
and bring you forth
(again on the Day of Resurrection)
And Allah has made for you the earth wide spread
that you may go about therein in broad roads."
Noah said:
"My Lord!
They have disobeyed me,
and followed one whose wealth and children give him no increase but only loss.
And they have plotted a mighty plot.
And they have said:
'You shall not leave your gods
nor shall you leave Wadd
nor Suwa, nor Yaghuth, nor Yauq nor Nasr
(names of the idols).
And indeed they have led many astray.
And (0 Allah)!
Grant no increase to the Zalimeen
(polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers, etc.."
Because of their sins they were drowned
then were made to enter the Fire
and they found none to help them instead of Allah.
The Length of Noah's Preaching
Noah continued to call his people to believe in Allah
for nine hundred fifty years.
Allah the Almighty said
And indeed We sent Noah to his people,
and he stayed among them a thousand years less fifty years
(inviting them to believe in the Oneness of Allah (Monotheism), and discard the false gods and other deities).
It happened that every passing generation admonished the succeeding
one not to believe Noah and to wage war against him.
The father used to teach his child about the matter
that was between himself and Noah
and counsel him to reject his call when he reached adulthood.
Their natural disposition rejected believing and following the truth
Noah saw that the number of believers was not increasing
while that of the disbelievers was
