Story of Noah(AS) and the great flood
Every time humanity needed help Allah sent his beloved prophets to guide them, to call them toward the right path. From darkness to light. Towards righteous path.
Noah (AS) was the successor of Idris(AS). when Idris(AS) passed away there were no leaders to instruct the people who were left behind.
Origin of shirk:
At that time Shaitan took the opportunity of the circumstance and he went to these wailing men and women disguised as a man and whispered in their ears "if we make the sculpture of these righteous men, it will remind you to do good"
So, they made a statue with the motive to keep reminding themselves to do good and they began to do good. This is how shaitan initiated his big plan and he succeeded in it.
Shaitan's trick:
After the generation pass. Shaitan started to trick the new generation by telling them that their forefathers used to worship this sculpture. These sculptures were used to help them become good. If you worship this statue goodness will come to your life. Then they began to worship idols. This is how the shirk started among the people. In this way, unnecessary affection flourished in the hearts of men.
Prophet Noah Alaisalam:
Hundreds of years passed, and Allah chose to send a Prophet to guide people. No one is worthy of worship besides Allah. The prophet picked for this holy mission was Noah (AS). So Prophet Noah started to teach his people about the secrets of the immense universe. he informed them about the evening and the day, the stars and the moon, the plants and creatures, and the sky and the earth. That the secret of the world is verification of the genuine god.
The people of Prophet Noah listened to him with great confusion and patience. The most wretched and desperate of the Noah people began to find hope and ease in the words of the Prophet and gradually joined Islam whereas the well-off watched in anger.
They said to Noah: We only see you as a human being like us. Therefore, Allah explained that human messengers were specially chosen.
One day a wealthy lord of the city approached Prophet Noah and said: They are meek and poor while we are elitist and rich. '' No belief can hold us both together.”
Noah recognized the ignorance of the rich. He said: he needed to keep his cool to explain to them that material possessions are worthless in the sight of Allah and that what is in one's heart is truly important to Allah.
the prophet Noah answered them. I do not seek wealth for it, my reward comes from none other than Allah. I will not cast out those who believe. they will meet the Lord. But you have turned out to be ignorant. O, my people! Who will help me against Allah when I drive them out?
I do not say that Allah's treasure is with me, that I know the invisible, or that I am an angel. give them something good. Allah knows what is in them. In this case, I must be one of the culprits.
Ignorant wealthy community:
The idolaters were angry. They have endured Noah's constant preaching and arguments for too long. They angrily challenged Noah. You quarrelled with us, you continued your quarrel with us. If you are true, bring to us what threatens us,"
Noah (AS) replied. There is no chance if Allah wants to mislead you, even if I want to give you advice, my advice will do you no good. He is your master!
The disbelievers had lost all patience with Noah and threw up insults to stop the Messenger of Allah from preaching Islam.
Noah's patient:
Noah replied: Make no mistake of me, but I am the Lord's messenger in the world! I bring the Lord's message to you and give you sincere advice. Despite constant ridicule and rejection.
Prophet Noah for 950 years continued to convert his people to Islam. But every generation that was born rejected Noah (As) as their fathers did. Whenever the Prophet approached them, they drove away from him. They found every excuse to escape Noah's presence.
It didn't take long for Prophet Noah to notice that the number of unbelievers was rapidly increasing. the number of believers remained unchanged. He was very angry with his people and fearful of their disaster, but he had no choice.
Noah's prayer to Allah:
So Prophet Noah prayed to Allah. They turned against me and followed those whose wealth and children brought them no gain but only loss. They plotted a powerful conspiracy.
They said: said you shall not abandon your gods, nor shall you abandon their idols. They have deluded many.
Allah immediately revealed to Prophet Noah that after that no other of his people would enter Islam.
A sad and hurt Prophet Noah replied to Allah: Leave no unbeliever on earth. If you leave them alone, they will deceive your slaves and produce only evil unbelievers. ” The prayer of Noah was acknowledged by his Lord.
Building of an ark:
He instructed Prophet Noah: "build an ark in our inspiration, before our eyes. Day and night, with the help and guidance of the angels.
the ark was built. The construction of the ark continued under the constant ridicule of the people
they mock Prophet Noah, saying, Is carpentry more appealing to you than prophet-hood
The people of Prophet Noah listened to him with great confusion and patience. The most wretched and desperate of the Noah people began to find hope and ease in the words of the Prophet and gradually joined Islam whereas the well-off watched in anger.
They said to Noah: We only see you as a human being like us. Therefore, Allah explained that human messengers were specially chosen.

they mock Prophet Noah, saying, Is carpentry more appealing to you than prophethood? Why are you building an ark which is so far from the sea? Will you draw it to the water, or will the wind carry it for you?"
replied Prophet Noah: Allah instructed Noah to gather the believers and enter the ark when the place in his house begins to bubble. Not long after that came the dreadful day when water began to erupt from the hearth in Prophet Noah's house.
Noah knew it was time to board Ark. With his followers, Noah also took pairs of animals, birds and insects. Immediately after that, heavy rain began to fall from the furious sky, and water began to rise from every crack in the earth. Gradually the water level began to rise and the sea conquered the land. The once-dry land was completely submerged for the first time.
Prophet Noah saw a terrible calamity befalling his people. He knew that unbelievers cannot escape the wrath of Allah. Among the unbelievers were the wife and son of Prophet Noah, who refused to board his ark. Noah desperately screamed at his son. Come on board with us and won't be an unbeliever.
"On that day, there is no saviour of Allah's destiny except those whom Allah has mercy on." When all the disbelievers perished, Allah commanded heaven and earth. Swallow your water and oh heaven! hold on to the rain
