Noah (Hebrew: נוֹחַ, Noah; Tiberias: נֹחַ; Arabic: نوح) (about 3993-3043 BC) was the apostle recounted in the Torah, Bible and Quran. Noah was made around the year 3650 BC prophet. Estimated that he lived in the south of modern Iraq. His name is mentioned 58 times in 48 verses in the New Living Translation 9 books and 43 times in the Quran.
Noah's is a prophet of the fourth after Adam, Idris and Syith and ninth descendant of the Prophet Adam. His father was the son Metusyalih Lamik bin Idris.
few years of the death of the Prophet Adam. Fall flowers around the grave and the trees and the stones seem excited. Many things changed in the face of the earth. And according to the common law, there was negligence on Adam's will. Who once again repeated mistakes. Errors in the form of forgetfulness, though this time it differed repeated.
Before the birth of the Prophet Noah, a righteous man has lived five-grandfather of the grandfather of Noah. They live for a few days and then they die. Their names were Wadd, Suwa ', Yaghuts, Ya'uq and Nasr. After their deaths, the people make statues of them, in order to honor them and as a warning against them. Then berlalulah time, then the people who carved the statue was dead. Then came their children, then the children were dead, and came to their grandchildren. Then comes the various tales and superstition that shackled human reason where it is mentioned that free statues have special powers.
This is where the devil take advantage of the opportunity, and he whispered to that free human idols is a God that can bring benefits and dangers so that eventually people refused to worship idols. We do not know a trustworthy source with respect to how forms of life when the worship of idols begins on earth, but we know the general laws that never changed when people started to tend to shirk. In such situations, crime will fill the earth and common man will lose, and will increase in wickedness, and the number of people who are persecuted. The rich get richer and the poor poorer. As a result, all human life would turn into Hell. Such a situation is bound to happen when people worship other than Allah, both those who worshiped idols of stone, from the golden calf, the ruler of the people, systems of systems, schools of various schools, or the tomb of a guardian. Because the only thing that guarantees equality among people is, when they worship only Allah and when he was recognized as their Creator and that to make laws for them. But when collateral is missing and there is a claim, or there is a system that claims to have the divine authority of the people will perish and will lose their freedom entirely.
Worship to other than Allah Almighty not only as a tragedy that could eliminate the freedom, but the contagion could spread to human reason and can make a mess. Therefore, Allah created man to know Him and to make his mind as a gem that aims to acquire knowledge. And the most important science is the realization that free Allah alone as the Creator, and in addition to his creatures. This is an important point and the first base must exist so that people succeed as caliph on earth.
When the human mind loses its potency and turn to other than Allah then people will be crushed by mistake. Sometimes a person experiences his deep materially advances he made it through the streets of progress, although he did not believe in Allah SWT, but the progress of this material is not accompanied by the introduction of the punishment of Allah will be harder than any torture, he eventually kerana would destroy man himself. When people worship other than Allah it will meningkatlah misery and poverty of human life. There is a strong relationship between human baseness and indigence them, and do not berimannya them to God. Allah says:
"If the people of the country believe and fear Allah, surely We will be bestowed upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth." (Surat al-A'raf: 96)
So, that free kufr or shirk to Allah to Him will result in the loss of freedom and the destruction of the mind and increasing poverty, and the empty life of noble purpose. In situations like this, Allah sent Noah to bring his teachings to his people. Noah was a servant whose intellect is not affected by the pollution of the collective, who worship other than Allah. Allah chose His servant Noah and sent him in the midst of his people.
Noah made a revolution of thought. He was at the peak of glory and brilliance. He was the greatest man of his time. He is not a king in the midst of his people, not their rulers, and not also the richest among them. We know that free is not necessarily related to the greatness of the kingdom, wealth, and power. Three things are usually owned by the souls of the undeserving. But greatness lies in the heart of cleanliness, purity conscience, and the mind's ability to alter life in the vicinity. Noah has it all, even more than that. Noah is a man who remembers Allah with good agreement with Prophet Adam and his children, when He created them in the atom. By nature, he was faithful to God before his manifestation in humans. And all the prophets believed in Allah Almighty before they are sent. Among them there is "seek" Allah like Prophet Ibrahim, was also among those who believe in Him from the deepest bottom of my heart, like Moses, and among them there is also worship Him and be alone in the cave Hira, such as the Prophet Muhammad.
There are other reasons relating to the greatness of Noah. When he woke up, sleep, eat, drink, or wear clothes, in or out, he was always grateful to God and praise Him, and to remember His blessings and always be grateful to him. By his deep, Allah Almighty says about Noah:
"Indeed he is a servant (of Allah) most grateful." (Surah al-Isra ': 3)
Allah chose His grateful servant and sent him as a prophet to his people. Noah went out to his family and began his preaching:
"O my people, worship Allah, never no god for you besides Him. Fact (if you do not worship God), I'm afraid you will overwrite the punishment of a great day." (Surat al-A'raf: 59)
With one brief sentence, putting Noah to his people the divine nature and the nature of the resurrection. There is only one Creator worthy of worship. There are death, then resurrection and then the Day of Judgment. Great day in which there is a great torment.
Noah tells his people there besides that free impossible Almighty Allah as the Creator. He gave meaning to them, that free Satan has deceived them long and the time has come to stop this scam. Noah told them, that free men have glorified Allah: He has created them, gave them sustenance, and bestow sense to them. Man listening to his message with full kekhusukan. Noah Da'wah quite shake their souls. Like a wall that will collapse at that time there was a man asleep and you are rocking Why keep him awake. Perhaps he will be scared and he was angry even though you intended to save.
The roots of evil that is in the earth hear, and feel the fear. Pillars hatred threatened by this love brought by the Prophet Noah. After hearing the preaching of Noah, his family split into two groups: group of weak people, poor people, and people who suffer from, where they are protected by the preaching of Noah, while the second group is a group of rich people , strong people, and the authorities where they encounter Noah preaching with great trepidation. Even when they had the chance, they began launching attacks against Noah. First they accused Noah is that free human beings like them:
"Then saith the pagan leaders of his people: 'We did not see you, but (as) a man (usually) like us.'" (Surah Hud: 27)
In the commentary of al-Quturbi stated: "People who are preaching against the princes of his people. They said al-Mala 'kerana they often say. Instance they said unto Noah:" O Noah, you are the man. "But Noah also He said that free is indeed human. Allah sent a Messenger from human-to-earth kerana earth inhabited by humans. Suppose the earth is inhabited by angels nescaya Allah sent a Messenger of angels.
Went on continually battle between pagans and Noah. First, assume that free propagation regime Noah will die by itself, but when they saw that free sermons attract the attention of those poor, weak people, and simple workers, they began attacking from this side of Noah. They attacked him through his followers and they said to him: "No one followed in addition to those poor and weak people and wicked people."
Allah says:
"And verily We sent Noah to his people, (he said): 'Verily I am clear warner to you, that ye worship none but Allah. Truly I fear for you the punishment overwritten (on) a very sad day. Then said pagan leaders of his people: 'We did not see you, but (as) a man (usually) like us, and we did not see the people who follow you, but the people who abject among us who believe it soon , and we do not see you have anything any advantages over us, in fact we believe that free you are the ones who lie. "(Surah Hud: 25-27)
So the battle has been raging between Noah and the nobles of his people. Those who disbelieve are using the pretext of the equation and they said to Noah: "Hear, O Noah, if you want us to believe in you then cast the people who believe in you. Surely they were the people who are weak and poor people , while we were the nobility and the rich people among them., and impossible you combine us with them in one mission (council). " Noah listened to what the unbelievers of his people. He knows that free them against. Despite this, he answered it well. He told his people that he could not expel the believers, his deep they were not his guests but they are the guests of Allah. Grace is not located in the house where the entry in which the people who wished and expelled him those he wanted, but the grace of Allah Almighty is the house where he received whoever wills in it. Allah says:
"Said Noah:" O my people, what thoughts, if I have proof from my Lord and gave me the grace of his side, but it is disguised blessings to you. Paksakankah you what we'll accept it when you do not like? Dan (he say): 'O my people, I did not ask for the property to you (for a price) to cry. My reward is from God, and I will never drive away those who have believed. Surely they will meet their Lord, but I looks at a people who do not know. ' And (he said): 'O my people, who can help me from the (punishment of) Allah if I drove them. Tidakkan Then you take lessons?' And I did not tell you (that free): 'I have warehouses sustenance and wealth from God, and I do not know the unseen, nor do I say:' Surely I was an angel, 'and I also told the people who were despised by your vision: "Every now and then God would not bring good to them. Allah knows what is in them. Verily I then actually include the people who do wrong. '" (Surah Hud: 28-31)
Noah broke all arguments disbelievers with the noble prophets logic. Namely, the logical thinking of the quiet arrogance peribadi and special interests. Noah told them that free Allah SWT has given religion, prophecy, and grace. While they do not look at what Allah Almighty to him. Furthermore, he does not force them to believe what it conveys as they hate. Sentence of monotheism (there is no god but Allah) can not be forced upon someone. He told them that he could not ask for the return of their preaching. He did not ask for them so burdensome possessions from them. Indeed, he only expects reward (reward) from Allah SWT. It is God who gives reward him. Noah explained to them that he could not drive away those who believe in Allah SWT. Although as a prophet, he has limitations and the limitations it was not given him the right to expel those who believe kerana two reasons. that free Alllah they will meet with the Almighty in a state of faith in Him, then how he would expel those who believe in Allah, and if he drove them, then they will oppose it in the presence of Allah SWT. This results in the provision of reward from Allah SWT for their faith, and his reply on anyone who drove them. So who can help Noah from the punishment of Allah if he drove them?
Thus Noah shows that the demand for his people that he expel the believers are ignorant of their actions. Noah reiterated that he could not do anything outside of his authority, and he told us they would kerendahannya and obedience to Allah. He can not do something that is a portion of the power of God, the gift of His blessings to His slaves He wills. He does not know the unseen, unseen kerana special just owned by Allah. He also told them that free he is not a king, that his position is not like the position of the angels. Partly from scholars argue that free verse angels greater than the prophets (please see the commentary Qurtubi).
Noah said to them: "Verily those who view your eye, and your contempt of those who believe that you underestimate it, verily their reward is not lost and is not diminished by the humiliation of you against them. Indeed Allah SWT more idea of what is inside of them. was he who reciprocate their charity. Indeed I have wronged myself if I said that free God does not give good things to them. "
Then the regime began to get bored with this debate delivered by Noah. Allah SWT tells their attitudes flrman Noah in his:
"They said: 'O Noah, actually you have to argue with us, and you have extended to our bantahanmu, Then bring us doom you ancamkan to us, if thou art of the truthful.' He said: 'It is only God that will bring doom it to you if He wills, and you can never escape., And it is not beneficial to you my advice if I was going to give advice to you, if only God is going to lead you astray. He is your Lord, and to Him you shall be returned. "(Surah Hud: 32-34)
Noah added that free them astray from the way of Allah SWT. God is the cause of everything, but they gain straying caused by their efforts and their freedom and their desire. Previously, the devil said:
"Kerana You have punished me astray ..." (Surat al-A'raf: 16)
Appears that free-enacting that phrase means God who mislead, but essentially is that free Allah has given him freedom and then he will ask pertanggungjawapannya. We do not agree with the view of al-Qadhariyah, al-Mu'tazilaism, Imami. They argue that free human desire as a force enough to perform actions, either obedience or disobedience. kerana for them, is the creator of human actions. In that case, he did not need God. We did not take their opinion implicitly. We argue that free human actions, but he did create his Lord require assistance in doing so.
As a result, Allah exert every creature in the direction of creation, both pengarahann it towards good or evil. This includes complete freedom. Man chose to exert their freedom then Allah's path to his choice. The devil chose the path of Allah lead astray then the fallacy that to her, while the unbelievers of the people of Prophet Nuh chose the same path that God was directing them that way.
The battle continues, and the debate between pagans and widening of Noah, so when their arguments broken and they can not say something inappropriate, they started coming out of the confines of manners and dared to mock the Prophet of Allah.
"The leaders of his people said: 'Verily we see you are in manifest error." (Surat al-A'raf: 60)
Noah answered by using the courtesy of the great prophets.
"He said: 'O my people, there is no heresy to me one bit but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds. I convey these messages unto my Lord, and I advise you, and I know from Allah that which ye know not." (Surat al-A'raf: 61-62)
Noah continued preaching in the midst of his people, time after time, day after day, and year after year. Berlalulah a long time, but Noah still invites his people. Noah preached to them day and night, secretly and openly, even he could give them examples. He explained to them the signs of Allah and His power in the world. But every time he invited them to worship Allah, they ran away from him, and every time he invited them to Allah to forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears and they reveal the truth in front of the vanity. Allah SWT tells what is experienced by Noah in his words:
"He said: 'My Lord, indeed I have called my people night and day, then call only increases their run (from the truth). And verily, every time I called them that you forgive them, they put their fingers into the child's ear and put her shirt (to face) and they remain (deny) and boasted outrageous. then surely I have called them in a way that openly, then I called them again openly and secretly, I say to them: 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance, and augment wealth and your children, and you hold gardens and held (also in it) for you rivers.' " (Surah Nuh: 5-12)
But what is her retort his people?
"He said: 'My Lord, they have been mendurhakaiku, and have followed the people who treasure their children and do not add to it but sheer loss. They have done fabrications huge., And they said:' Let not them time you leave (worship) gods and neither should you ever leave (worship) Wadd, Suwa, yaghuts, yauq, and Nasr., and after they have misled many (human), and do not you add for those wrongfully that in addition to error, '"(Surah Nuh: 21-24)
Noah continued preaching in the midst of his people for 950 years. Allah says:
"And verily We sent Noah to his people, so he stayed among them a thousand years less fifty years." (Surah Ankabut: 14)
Unfortunately, the number of believers has not increased, while it increased the number of infidels. Noah is very sad, but he did not lose hope. He always took his people and argue with them. But his people always face them with pride, disbelief and resistance. Noah is very sad for his family, but he was not up to despair. He still maintain hope for 950 years. It appears that free men age long before the coming storm. And perhaps for the long life of Noah is a special miracle for him.
Come the day when Allah revealed to Noah that free people of faith of his kind will not increase anymore. Allah revealed to him that he was not sorry for their actions. So at that time, Noah prayed that the disbelievers were destroyed. He said:
"My Lord, do not you let anyone among the pagans that live on the earth." (Surah Nuh: 26)
Noah justify his prayer with the excuse:
"Surely if you let them live, they shall deceive nescaya servant servant, and they will not give birth than children who commit adultery and infidels." (Surah Nuh: 27)
Allah says in Surah Hud:
"And revealed to Noah, bahawasannya never among thy people will believe except those who have faith alone, his deep sorrow that ye careful about what they were doing. And make the ark with the supervision and guidance of revelation Us, and do not talk to me about the people of iniquity. Surely they would be drowned. (Surah Hud: 36-37)
Then Allah establish His law upon infidels, the arrival of a hurricane. Allah told Noah, that free he will make this boat with "our eyes and our revelation," ie, with knowledge of Allah and His teaching, and in accordance with his direction and assistance of the angels.
Allah establish His command to Noah:
"And do not talk to me about the people of iniquity. Surely they would be drowned. (Surah Hud: 37)
Allah drowned those who do wrong, no matter what position they are and whatever their closeness to the Prophet. Allah forbade His Prophet to mediate a dialogue with them or their affairs. Noah began to plant a tree to make a boat from him. He waited a few years, then he cut what was planted and began to assemble. Finally, be a big boat, a tall and strong.
The commentators differing opinions about the size of the boat, the shape, the time of manufacture, place of manufacture and others. In this regard Fakhrur Razi said: "Know that free discussion is not interesting to me his deep it is the things that do not need to know. I think knowing that only benefit a few." Hopefully Razi Allah bless Fakhrur stating the truth in that sentence. We do not know the nature of this boat, except what Allah tells us about it. For example, we do not know where he is, how long or wide, and we certainly do not know other than his destination after he anchored.
Allah does not give a detailed explanation regarding these do not give importance to the content of the story and an important goal. Noah started building the boat, then the unbelievers passing in front of him when he was in serious condition to make a boat. At that time, the weather or the air is very dry, and there are no rivers or near the sea. How does this boat will sail O Noah? Is he going to sail on the ground? Where is the water that allows the boat to Yachting? It has been Noah's crazy! Infidels getting laughed out loud and getting mocked Noah.
The highlight contradictions in the story of Noah appears in this period. Evil mocking the truth and laugh at the truth long enough. They assume that free world belongs to them and they will always get that free security and punishment that free will not happen. But their assumption was not proven. Arrival of tornado overturned all their estimates. At that time, the believers scoff behind unbelievers and ridicule them is the truth. Allah says:
"And Noah began to make the ark., And every time the leader of his people running metewati Noah, they were taunting him. Said Noah:" If ye ridicule us, then indeed we (were) going to mock you as you all mocking us. Soon will ye know who will overwritten by a humiliating punishment and eternal punishment will be overwritten. " (Surah Hud: 38-39)
Finished the production of the boat and sat waiting for the commands of Allah. Allah revealed to Noah that free if anyone has a kitchen, then this is a sign of the start of hurricane. At the mention that free interpretation of at-Tannur is oven (appliance for baking bread) that is in the house of Noah. If the air out of him and he ran away then that is a command for Noah to move. So one day tannur was beginning to show signs of the house of Noah, and Noah immediately open boat and invites the believers to climb. Gabriel descended to earth. Noah brings birds, wild animals, animals in pairs, cows, elephants, ants, and others. In the boat, Noah has made the cage a wild animal.
Gabriel led every two pairs of animals that every animal species does not become extinct from the face of the earth. This means that free hurricane has drowned all the earth, if not so then why would he have to haul type animals. The animals started up the boat with those who believed from his people. The number of believers is very little. Allah says:
"Until when Our command came and tannur already emit water, We said: 'Muatkanlah into the ark of each animal pair (male and female), and the family of the foregoing provisions except those against and (muatkanlah anyway) people believers. ' And not with Noah's faith except a little. "(Surah Hud: 40)
Noah's wife was not faithful to him so he did not go up the boat, and one of her children to hide their disbelief to show faith in front of Noah, and he did not come aboard. The majority of the time people do not believe that they did not participate sail. Only believers who sailed the seas with him. Ibn Abbas said: "There are eighty men of the people of Prophet Noah believe in him."
The water began to rise out of the crevices of the earth. There is no one else on earth except gap water out of it. While the rain fell from the sky was heavy with rain never bulk as it is on earth, and there will be no rain as it afterward. Increasingly turbulent seas and waves hit anything and sweep the earth. The earth moves in the earth so that the ball is not fair for the first time submerged in water until it becomes a ball of water. Allah says:
"So We opened the gates of heaven with (lowering) of gushing water. And We made the earth exudes spring-spring Meet the waters that for a business that truly defined., And we carried him to the (Ark) a made of planks and nails. (Surah al-Qamar: 11-13)
The water rises above the man's head, and he surpassed the height of the tree, even the mountain peaks. Finally, the earth's surface covered with water. When the first storm came, Noah calling his son. his son was standing some distance from him. Noah called him and said:
"My son, come up (to the ship) with us and do not be with the people who disbelieve." (Surah Hud: 42)
The boy said his father's invitation:
"I'm going to the mountain refuge that can care of me from the flood." (Surah Hud: 43)
Noah returned menyerunya:
"No one protects today from the Wrath of Allah except those who blessed him." (Surah Hud: 43)
Finished the dialogue between Noah and his son.
"And the wave of a barrier between them, then so be it children, including those who drowned." (Surah Hud: 43)
Consider the phrase AI-Qur'an al-Karim: And wave a barrier between the two. The waves suddenly end their dialogue. Noah looking, but he did not find his son. He did not find more than a mountain waves are rising and rising with the boat. Ddak Noah could see everything except the water. Allah willing - as a mercy from Him - to drown the child away from the sight of his father. This is the love of God Almighty against the father. Children of Noah thinks that free will prevent the mountain from the pursuit of the water but he was overtaken and drowned. Tornado continued and continues to bring Noah's boat. After some time passed, sights fixed on the earth that has been destroyed so there is no life except partly wood from which Noah made the boat in which he saved the believers, as well as a variety of animals that go along with them. It is difficult for us to imagine the awesomeness that storm. In fact, she shows the power of a Creator. It sailed with them in waves like mountains. Settled some scientists believe that free separation of multiple continents and the formation of the earth in the flesh as it is as a result of the first storm.
storm experienced by Noah continued in recent times where we can not know the limit. Then came the divine command that the heavens stop the rain and remain calm so that the earth and swallowing the water, and that wood boats anchored in the al-Judi, the name of a place in ancient times. Some say that free he is a mountain located in Iraq. With the coming of the divine command, calm returned to earth and water to recede. storm had cleansed the earth and wash. Allah says:
"And hath spoken: 'O earth swallow your water, and O sky (rain) stop,' and the water was disurutkan, the order was completed and the ship that was anchored in the bukitjudi., And said: 'Woe to those who do wrong." (QS . Hud: 44)
And the water was disurutkan, which reduced water and return to the earth cracks. All arrangements have been decided and the disbelievers have been destroyed completely. Allah said to me that free-mandulkan wombs woman for forty years before the arrival of the storm, his deep that no one was killed a baby or small child.
His words: And the ark that was anchored on the hill gambling, which he anchored on it. On the day mentioned that free coincided with Ashura '(the tenth of Muharram). Then Noah fasted and ordered the people to fast with him as well.
It said: 'Woe to those who do wrong,' ie, the destruction of them. hurricane purifies the earth from them and clean them. Gone with the disappearance of the terrible storm. Switch and struggle of the waves into the soul of Noah. He remembers his son who drowned. Noah did not know at that time that free their children to be infidels. He considers that free his son as a believer who chooses to save themselves by a mountain refuge. However, the waves have ended the conversation both before they finish. Noah did not know how far the existing portion of faith to her son. Then move instinct of affection in the hearts of the father. Allah says:
"And Noah cried to his Lord, saying:" My Lord, indeed my son, including my family, and indeed promise you that is true., And Thou art the fairest judge. "(Surah Hud: 45)
Noah wanted to say to God that of his family, including his son who is faithful and He promises to save her family of faith. Allah said to Noah and to explain the real situation existing in children:
"O Noah, he is not actually included family (which was promised to be saved). Verily deeds are not good. Therefore, do not be pleading to me something that you do not know (nature). Damu I warned my head that you may not include the people who are not knowledgeable. '"(Surah Hud: 46)
Al-Qurtubi said - quoting from his teachers from among the scholars - this is the opinion that we support: "His son was at his side (ie with Noah and the suspicions he was a believer.)
Noah did not say to his Lord:" Behold, my son included family, "but he did reveal his deep such things to him. because it is impossible to ask the destruction of infidels and then he asked that partly they were rescued."
His son appeared to hide infidelity and faith. Then Allah told Noah that special unseen He has. That Allah SWT tell the true state of his son. Allah Almighty when he advised him not to be people who do not understand. He wants to dispel the notion that free her from her faith and then die with unbelievers.
There are important lessons contained in the noble verse, which tells the story of Noah with his son. Allah wants to say to His noble Prophet that free children not including family kerana he does not believe in Allah SWT. Blood relation is not intrinsic relationship among humans. The son of a prophet is a child who believes in faith, to follow Allah and the prophet, and not his son who oppose it, though from his loins. If so, a believer must avoid infidelity. And here also must be confirmed relationships among faith among the believers. It is not true if the relationship is built on the blood of their fellow, IRAS, color, or place of residence.
Noah begged forgiveness of his Lord and repent to Him. Then Allah have mercy on him and ordered him to get off the boat in a state filled with the blessings of Allah SWT and His custody:
"He said: 'O my Lord, verily I seek refuge with You from appealing to you something that I know not (essentially). And if you do not forgive me, and (do not) have mercy on me, nescaya I will include those a loss. "(Surah Hud: 47)
Spoken, "'O Noah, descend safely and full blessing from Us upon you and upon the followers of (the believers) of the people with you.'" (Surah Hud: 48)
Noah got out of the boat and he let the birds and the beasts of the earth so that they spread. After that, the believers are also down. Noah put his forehead to the ground and prostrated. When the earth was still wet kerana whirlwind effect. Noah got up after solatnya and dig the foundation for building a great worship to Allah. The people who survived the fire and sit around it. Light a fire earlier banned in the boat kerana dikhuatirkan fire will touch the wood and burn it. No one among those who eat warm during the storm.
