NUH (Noah), THE FATHER OF HUMANITY AFTER THE DELUGE

Nuh (pbuh) was a great prophet who preached a very long time, calling people to the straight path. "We sent Noah to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand years less fifty: but the Deluge overwhelmed them while they persisted in sin." Also, God says in the Holy Book "We sent Noah to his people (with the command): Do thou warn thy people before there comes to them a grievous torment. He said : O my people! I am to you a warner, clear and open."
Nuh (pbuh) underwent a long struggle, affirming the reality of faith, forbearance. He was an excellent speaker and taught respect between people. He pointed out to his people the mysteries of life and the wonders of the universe. He showed them how the night is regularly followed by the day, how the night gives coolness and rest whilst the day gives warmth and awakens activity, the sun encourages growth of plants...he pointed out that the ownership of the heavens and the earth belongs only to the Divine Creator.
He underwent persecution in the hope that he might guide the people towards the one God. He tried to make them believe in Him and make them Muslims. But as time went on, they became more and more obstinate, drawing further from the truth day by day. Finally, Nuh (pbuh) sought refuge in Allah's threshold, reporting their stubbornness to Him, complaining of their hostility. He begged for Allah's guidance, and it became clear to him that he would not gain more disciples than the few who already believed in his message. "Do not ever worry or be disappointed about what these ignorant people do". Despite the long time spent preaching, only very few people believed in the Prophet Nuh (pbuh). The rest were taken away by the Deluge, due to their obstinance in acknowledging his message.This parable set forth of mankind at the time of Prophet Nuh (pbuh) is still applicable in our present day. On the one hand, there are those who are sincere and devoted in their love of God, people who are fully dedicated and patient, constantly remembering the blessing of God, both publicly and privately, to Humankind. Whilst on the other hand, there are those who are deluded by the trappings of this world. People worshiping money, prestige and power. Since Nuh (pbuh), Man has not changed that much, one can notice than Man is arrogant and only concerned by worldly matters. This confrontation of the good/bad, is the struggle that Nuh (pbuh) undertook at his time, and that true believers should continuously undertake today. "Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly (in private)."
