Wih Allah’s N9tna. the أ¤enofactot, tho Merciful RedeemerProphet Nuh (Noah)Variation on the Birth of NoahHe was Noah Ibn Lamik, Ibn Mitoshilkh, Ibn Enoch, Ibn yard, Ibn Mahlabeel, Ibn Qinan, IbnAnoush, Ibn Seth, Ibn Adam the Father of Mankind (PBUH). According to the history of thePeople of the Book, (refers to the Jews, and Christians, so called by Allah because they receivedRevealed Books, Taurat, Zabur and Injeel. These names are translated ‘Torah, Psalms, andGospels’ respectively, but the books that are extent are corrupt. Of the Revealed Books, ONLYthe Quran remains exactly as it was revealed).The period between the birth of Noah and the death of Adam was 146 years. (According toGenesis 5 (new Revised Standard Version), Noah was born one hundred and twenty six yearsafter the death of Adam. Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Theperiod between Adam and Noah was ten centuries. ” (Sahih Bukhari, Noah was born 1056 yearsafter Adam’s creation (or after he left the Garden of Eden). Thus, this hadith does not contradictthe previous statement from the People of the Book as it may first appear to do. The readershould keep in mind, however that any statement or narratives taken from the People of the Bookare not necessarily credible. This was taken from Genesis 5).Noah’s People – IdolatersFor many generations Noah’s people had been worshipping statues that they called gods. Theybelieved that these gods would bring them good, protect them from evil and provide all theirneeds. They gave their idols names such as Waddan, Suwa’an, Yaghutha, Ya’auga, and Nasran,(These idols represented, respectively, manly power; mutability, beauty; brute strength, swiftness,sharp sight, insight) according to the power they thought these gods possessed. llah the Almighty revealed:”They (idolaters) have said: “You shall not leave your gods nor shall you leave Wadd, norSuwa, nor Yaghuth, nor Ya uq nor Nasr (names of the idols). ” (CH 71 :23 Quran).Originally these were the names of good people who had lived among them. After their deaths,statues of them were erected to keep their memories alive. After sometime, however, peoplebegan to worship these statues. Later generations did not even know why they had been erected;they only knew their parents had prayed to them. That is how idol worshipping developed. Sincethey had no understanding of Allah the Almighty Who would punish them for their evil deeds,they became cruel and immoral.www.islambasics.com
