The flood was a punishment from Allah for the people of Prophet Nuh (AS) who refused to abandon idol worship and believe in his message. Despite 950 years of patient calling to Islam, they persisted in their disbelief and even threatened the believers.
Prophet Nuh (AS) preached to his people for 950 years, calling them to worship Allah alone and abandon their idols. This demonstrates incredible patience and dedication to his divine mission.
According to Islamic sources, the Ark was enormous - approximately 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Allah gave Nuh (AS) specific instructions on how to build it to accommodate all the believers and pairs of animals.
Allah commanded Prophet Nuh (AS) to take his family (except his disbelieving wife and son), all believers, and a pair of every animal species. Only a small group of people believed in Nuh's message and were saved.
Sadly, one of Prophet Nuh's sons refused to board the Ark, believing he could find safety on a mountain. Despite his father's pleas, he was among those who perished in the flood, showing that family ties cannot save someone who rejects faith.
Children learn about patience, perseverance, trusting in Allah, the importance of listening to good advice, and that Allah always protects those who believe in Him. They also learn about the consequences of stubborn disbelief.
Yes, the story of Prophet Nuh (AS) is mentioned multiple times in the Quran, including detailed accounts in Surah Nuh, Surah Hud, and other chapters. This book is based on authentic Quranic and Islamic sources.
Parents can use this story to teach patience, persistence in doing good, trusting Allah during difficult times, and the importance of da'wah. It's also excellent for discussing how to handle peer pressure and standing up for what's right.
After the flood waters receded, the Ark came to rest on Mount Judi. Prophet Nuh (AS) and the survivors started a new community of believers, and Nuh continued to worship Allah and teach his descendants about Islam.
The people were deeply attached to their idols and traditions. The wealthy and powerful leaders opposed Nuh's message because it threatened their status, and they influenced others to reject the truth. This shows how pride and following corrupt leaders can lead people astray.
Like other prophets, Nuh (AS) faced rejection and persecution but remained steadfast. His story connects to the broader theme of Allah sending messengers to guide humanity and the choice people have between belief and disbelief.
While the story has some intense moments (the flood), it's presented in a gentle, age-appropriate way that emphasizes Allah's mercy and protection of believers. It can be a meaningful bedtime story that sparks important conversations.
