Introduction of Chapter “Noah”

 

Introduction of Chapter “Noah” (L-3334)

Chapter “NUUH” – (Noah) - 71

According to order, this is seventy-first Chapter of Holy Qur’an. It was revealed during primary days of stay at makkah. It has two Sections. There is mention of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him) in it with effect from the beginning to the end. The people of his folk had been involved in many wrong deeds, the root of which was that they had forgotten Allaah Almighty and used to adore the idols. Their five idols were very famous – whose names were Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Ya`uq and Nasr. Adoration of the idols had begun from them. It is said that they used to consider that some of their people were greatest and they used to honour them more than enough. When they died, the people established their monuments and began to respect. In process of time, Satan caused them to understand: Make such great leader’s statue of stone who dies and then give it the same respect which you used to give him during his life. Gradually, the same idols became their gods and they forgot Allaah Almighty. They were the people, who laid a foundation of castes and it was the result of idol-worshipping. Human beings were divided in different higher and lower classes. The disease of the adoration of the idols, the difference of castes, high and low ranks began to spread all over the world by them particularly in Egypt, Iraq and India etc. which exist in the world in any form even today. Prophets (peace ne upon them) and Scriptures of Allaah Almighty were sent for the guidance of the mankind but the people could not be released from its seizure. Their forms were changed from time to time but belief in a plurality of God remained in existence.

In this Chapter, it has been described that Noah (peace be upon him) tried his best to cause the people of his folk to understand that they might not worship any other except Allaah Almighty and give respect to every mankind according to personal grade without crossing the line. When his folk disobeyed his sayings, he complained in the Court of Allaah Almighty and prayed: I explained every matter clearly before them but they did not care and continued adoring their idols.

At the end, Noah (peace be upon him) imprecated in favour of them and begged: If these people lived in the world as they are, then there would be nothing to see but evil and corruption. Eventually Allaah Almighty sent a storm of water upon them and they were drowned. Only those people and animals were saved who went on board the ship of Noah (peace be upon him). They were his sons and some of those people who believed in him. After the storm, lineage of mankind and animals increased from them who were saved.

Let them do their work

 

Let them do their work (L-3333)

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ 42  يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ 43  خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ 44

42.  Fazarhum  yakhuuzuu wa  yal-'abuu  hattaa  yulaaquu  Yawma humul-lazii  yuu-'aduun. 43.  Yawma  yakhrujuuna  minal-‘ajdaasi  siraa-'an  ka-‘annahum  ‘ilaa  nusubiny-yuufizuun. 44.  Khaashi-'atan  ‘absaaru-hum  tarhaquhum  Zillah.  Zaalikal-Yawmul-lazii  kaanuu  yuu-'aduun. (Section 2/8)

42. So let them chat and play until they meet their Day which they are promised, 43. The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as racing to a goal, 44. With eyes aghast, abasement stupefying them: Such is the Day which they are promised.

It is commanded: While We described them everything but they did not believe, then you must say to them nothing. Let them remain busy in jesting and amusements. That Day is coming very soon for which it has been promised. When it will come, the entire dead bodies will come out from their graves and begin to run in haste, as though a mark has been fixed towards which they will run (i.e. the Field of Resurrection). Their eyes will be humbled due to fear, and humiliation will cover them from all around. That will be the Day for which it was promised.

That is the end of Chapter seventy. It has been described in this Chapter: Don’t consider that the Day of Resurrection is a game. Surely that Day will come. If the mankind desires to get the upper hand on his (by birth) weaknesses and to dwell a successful life, he should worship Allaah Almighty, bring out a portion of his wealth for the needy, believe in the Day of Resurrection and fear the Doom of Allaah Almighty, because that is a thing to be feared. He should fulfil his sexual desire from his wife only. Other all ways are prohibited. One must fulfil one’s responsibilities and covenants, give evidence correctly, offer prayer timely and regularly. Then it can be hoped that he may enter the Garden.

What has happened with the disbelievers (L-3332)

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ 36  عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ 37  أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ 38  كَلَّآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ 39  فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ 40 عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ 41

36.  Famaa-lil-laziina  kafaruu  qibalaka  muhti-‘iin. 37.  'Anil-yamiini  wa  'anish-shimaali  'iziin. 38.  ‘A-yatma-'u  kullum-ri-'im- minhum  ‘any-yud-khala  Jannata  Na-'iim. 39.  Kallaaa.  ‘Innaa  khalaq-Naahum-mimmaa  ya'-lamuun. 40.  Falaaa  ‘Uqsimu  bi-Rabbil-Mashaariqi  wal-Magaaribi  ‘innaa  la-Qaadiruun. 41.  'Alaaa  ‘an-nubaddila  khayram-minhum  wa  maa  Nahnu  bi-masbuuqiin.

36. What ails those who disbelieve, that they keep staring toward you (O Muhammad), open-eyed, 37. On the right and on the left, in groups? 38. Does every man among them hope to enter the Garden of Delight? 39. Nay, verily. Lo! We created them from what they know. 40. But nay! I swear by the Lord of the rising-places and the setting-places of the planets that We verily are Able 41. To replace them by (others) better than them. And we are not to be outrun.

It is commanded: We already have described the form of mankind’s salvation. Now about the condition of the disbelievers is being narrated. Their many separate gangs come to you {O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)} for opposing and laughing at you. Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure without belief and doing righteous works? It cannot be at all! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know. Then how can be there any irregularity? Mean spiritedness and cowardice is included in the creation of mankind. Real spirit will be born into him by belief and doing good works. So I swear by the Lord of all risings and settings that indeed We are Able to replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

Weaknesses of mankind and their cure (b) (L-3331)

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ 28  وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ 29  إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ 30  فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ 31  وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ 32  وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ 33  وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ 34  أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ 35

28.  ‘Inna  'azaaba  Rabbihim  gayru  ma'-muun. 29.  Wallaziina  hum  li-furuujihim  haafizuun. 30.  ‘Illaa  'alaaa  ‘azwaajihim  ‘aw  maa  malakat  ‘aymaanuhum  fa-‘innahum  gayru  maluumiin. 31.  Famanib- tagaa  waraaa-'a  zaalika  fa-‘ulaaa-'ika  humul-'aaduun. 32.  Wallaziina  hum  li-‘amaa-naati-him  wa  'ahdihim  raa-'uun. 33.  Wallaziina  hum- bi-shahaa-daatihim  qaaa-'imuun. 34.  Wallaziina  hum  'alaa  Salaatihim  yuhaafizuun. 35.  ‘Ulaaa-'ika  fii  Jannaatim-mukramuun.  (Section 1/7)

28. Lo! the doom of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure - 29. And those who preserve their chastity 30. Save with their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for thus they are not blameworthy; 31. But whoso seeks more than that, those are they who are transgressors; 32. And those who keep their pledges and their covenant, 33. And those who stand by their testimony 34. And those who are attentive at their worship. 35. These will dwell in Gardens, honoured.

It is commanded: The punishment of Allaah Almighty is such thing; from which no one must be fearless. Therefore having fear of His punishment every time is better for the mankind. That who is fearless from the Lord, is ruined.

After that it is commanded: Those who desire to be saved from the calamity; must guard their private parts. However, they are permitted to fulfil their sexual desires from their wives or from those who are in their right hands (female serf), but those who seek beyond that, they are the transgressors of moral and religious limits. Moreover, they must be careful in the things deposited with them as a trust, and they should accomplish their promises.  They must be upright in their testimonies and must not deprive anyone of his right. In addition, they should maintain their prayer carefully. Such kind of people will be in gardens, honoured.

Weaknesses of mankind and their cure (a) (L-3330)

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا 19  إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا 20  وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا 21  إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ 22  ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ 23  وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ 24  لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ 25  وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ 26  وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ 27

19.  ‘Innal-  ‘insaana  khuliqa  haluu-'aa. 20.  ‘Izaa  massahush-sharru  jazuu-'aa. 21.  Wa  ‘izaa  massahul-khayru  manuu-'aa. 22.  ‘Illal-Musalliin. 23.  ‘Allaziina  hum  'alaa  Salaati-him  daaa-'imuun. 24.  Wallaziina  fiii  ‘amwaali-him  haqqum- ma'-luum. 25.  Lissaaa-'ili  wal-mahruum. 26.  Wallaziina  yusaddiquuna  bi-Yawmid-Diin. 27.  Wallaziina  hum-min  'azaabi- Rabbihim  mushfiquun.

19. Lo! man was created anxious, 20. Fretful when evil befall him 21. And, when good befall him, grudging; 22. Save worshippers. 23. Who are constant at their worship 24. And in whose wealth there is a right acknowledged 25. For the beggar and the destitute; 26. And those who believe in the Day of Judgment, 27. And those who are fearful of their Lord's doom -

It is commanded: Indeed, the mankind has been created anxious.   When evil touches him, he becomes impatient. When good touches him, he withholds of it. Impatience, confusion and stinginess are always with him. If there is no arrangement of his better training and he is involved in the same depravities, then living in the world becomes difficult for him. Moreover, he must not have any hope of getting something good except restlessness and uneasiness after death.

Now if the mankind wants his betterment, he must establish such society; in which every work is done for Allaah Almighty. All members of the society must be observers of prayer and constant in their prayer. A known right within their wealth must be for the petitioners and the deprived. And they should think that in the life after death they will get reward of their righteous deeds. If they did wrong, would be punished. Everyone must be fearful of the punishment of their Lord and refrain from wicked deeds.
