Purpose of sending Noah unto his folk -2
Chapter “Mu’-minuun” – (The Believers) -
23
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah
from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
In this connection, Allaah Almighty described concerning
some Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them). It is commanded: We Appointed
Noah (peace be upon him) as Our Messenger and sent him for guidance of the
people of his time, so that he should cause to understand his folk and describe
them short-method of acquiring good manners, because success of mankind is very
difficult without it. He (peace be upon him) observed that the people of his
folk have been engaged entirely in corporeal pleasures and they have ignored
totally the spiritual side of the human being. Their sense could not inform
them, due to being subdued from carnal desires, that only One God (Allaah)
should be Worshiped, Who created the heavens and the earth, and Who created the
mankind and kept into him ability of knowing the good and the bad. The sense
did not cause to understand him that balance among different powers of human
being cannot be set up without bowing before One God (Allaah Almighty).
If the mankind withdrew from Allaah Almighty, then he would certainly become
subject to evil wishes. He would have to bow before every noble and plebeian.
He will begin to bow sometime before idols, sometime before great people and
sometime before horrible things. And he will get nothing in this matter save
confusion.
Noah (peace be upon him) caused to know the people of his folk
that they should worship none but Allaah Almighty. There is no one able
to be Worshiped save Allaah Almighty. His (peace be upon him) nation had
been entangled in selfishness and desires. Great people of the nation said to
the public: Don’t listen to Noah (peace be upon him)! According to those great
people, the mankind can do nothing save thinking about own benefits. This
thought had taken place in their hearts that the mankind can be a selfish only.
Therefore, they said: Noah (peace be upon him) says this new thing because he
seeks to make himself superior to you. There can be no object of him save it.
Do you not see that he is only a mortal like you? We don’t see any excellence
into him. You know that the person, who says any new thing, says for own aim.
He (peace be upon him) says to us that we should worship only One Allaah,
for the purpose that you all should begin to say as he says, so that he (peace
be upon him) may become your leader.
It is true that when all people will become wrongdoers, then
certainly the hearts of all will be spoiled and the dissatisfaction will spread.
The person, who is selfish himself, will never consider unselfish to any other.
