Summary from previous lesson


“Thus, indeed, most of the people of old went astray before

them, although, verily, We had sent (MUN-DZIREEN)

warners unto them: and behold what happened in the end

to those that had been warned [to no avail]!

EXCEPT for Allah’s true servants, [most people are apt to

go astray except the - ‘IBAA-DILLAA-HIL- MUKH-LA-

SWEEN ],”

(Qur’an: Saffat: 37: 71-74)


“And, indeed, [it was for this reason that] Noah cried unto

Us - and how excellent was Our response: for We saved

him and his household (NAJ-JAI-NAA-WA-AH-LAHU) from

that awesome calamity (KAR-BIL-’AZEEM),”

(Qur’an: Saffat: 37: 75-76)

“AND THIS was revealed unto Noah: "Never will any of

thy people believe except those who have already

attained to faith. Be not, then, distressed by anything

that they may do, but build, under Our eyes and

according to Our inspiration, the ark [that shall save thee

and those who follow thee]; and do not appeal to Me in

behalf of those who are bent on evildoing for, behold,

they are destined to be drowned!"

(Hud: 11: 36-37)



“And [so Noah] set himself to building the ark; and every time the

great ones of his people passed by him, they scoffed at him.

[Thereupon] he said: "If you are scoffing at us-behold, we are

scoffing at you [and your ignorance], just as you are scoffing at us.”

(Hud: 11: 38)


“But in time you will come to know who it is that [in this world] shall

be visited by suffering which will cover him with ignominy, and upon

whom long lasting suffering shall alight [in the life to come].”

(Hud: 11: 39)


“[And so it went on] till, when Our judgment came to

pass, and waters gushed forth in torrents over the

face of the earth, We said [unto Noah]: "Place on

board of this [ark] one pair of each [kind of animal] of

either sex, as well as thy family -except those on

whom [Our] sentence has already been passed -and

all [others] who have attained to faith!"-for, only a

few [of Noah's people] shared his faith.”

(Qur’an: Hud: 11: 40)


“So he said [unto his followers]: "Embark in this [ship]! In the

name of Allah be its run and its riding at anchor! Behold, my.

Sustainer is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace!"

(Hud: 11: 41)


“And it moved on with them into waves that were like mountains.

At that [moment] Noah cried out to a son of his, who had kept

himself aloof [from the others]: "O my dear son! Embark with us,

and remain not with those who deny the truth!"

(Hud: 11: 42)


“[But the son] answered: "I shall betake myself to a mountain that

will protect me from the waters." Said [Noah]: "Today there is no

protection [for anyone] from Allah's judgment, save [for] those

who have earned [His] mercy!" And a wave rose up between them,

and [the son] was among those who were drowned.”

(Hud: 11: 43)


And the word was spoken: "O earth, swallow up thy waters!

And, O sky, cease [thy rain]!" And the waters sank into the

earth, and the will [of Allah] was done, and the ark came to

rest on Mount Judi. And the word was spoken: "Away with

these evildoing folk!"

(Hud: 11: 44)


“And Noah called out to his Sustainer, and said: "O my Sustainer!

Verily, my son was of my family; and, verily, Thy promise always

comes true, and Thou art the most just of all judges!"

(Hud: 11: 45)


[Allah] answered: "O Noah, behold, he was not of

thy family, for, verily, he was unrighteous in his

conduct. And thou shalt not ask of Me anything

whereof thou canst not have any knowledge: thus,

behold, do I admonish thee lest thou become one of

those who are unaware [of what is right]."

(Hud: 11: 46)


Said [Noah]: "O my Sustainer! Verily, I seek refuge with Thee

from [ever again] asking of Thee anything whereof I cannot

have any knowledge! For unless Thou grant me forgiveness

and bestow Thy mercy upon me, I shall be among the lost!"

(Hud: 11: 47)


[Thereupon] the word was spoken: "O Noah! Disembark

in peace from Us, and with [Our] blessings upon thee as

well as upon the people [who are with thee, and the

righteous ones that will spring from thee and] from those

who are with thee. But [as for the unrighteous] folk [that

will spring from you] - We shall allow them to enjoy life

[for a little while], and then there will befall them

grievous suffering from Us."

(Hud: 11: 48)
