(Ambiyaa [‘alaihimus salaam] Series – Nabi Nooh [‘alaihis salaam] #2)
Nabi Nooh (‘alaihis salaam) called his people to Allah Ta‘ala day and night. He spent 950 years inviting them to Allah Ta‘ala, but most of them did not listen to him. They mocked Nabi Nooh (‘alaihis salaam) and told him to bring the punishment which he was warning them about.
Nabi Nooh (‘alaihis salaam) lost hope in the people listening to him, so he made du‘aa and begged Allah Ta‘ala to help him. Allah Ta‘ala informed him that those people who were going to believe in him had already believed. No one else was now going to believe in Allah Ta‘ala.
Allah Ta‘ala also informed Nabi Nooh (‘alaihis salaam) that He would soon help him. He commanded him to build a big ship, so he began to build the ship. When his people saw him building the ship, they laughed at him and made fun of him.
They asked him, “Did you become a carpenter after claiming to be a Nabi?”. The sea was very far away so they asked him, “Are you building a ship here on land? How are you going to carry it and put it in the water?”
They continued to mock him in this manner but Nabi Nooh (‘alaihis salaam) remained patient and continued doing what Allah Ta‘ala commanded him to do. Nabi Nooh (‘alaihis salaam) also told them that you are laughing at us now but we will soon laugh at you how you are laughing at us.
