Prophet Nuh (as) was sent by Allah to guide the people of Naynawah, who had fallen into idol worship after the passing of five righteous men. After preaching for 950 years without success, Nuh (as) built an ark under divine instruction, leading to the Great Flood that destroyed all disbelievers, including his own family. Following the flood, Nuh (as) and the believers disembarked on Mount Judi, grateful to Allah for their salvation.

1. Prophet
Nuh
Created by: Eman Fawakiri & Banan M. Obeid
‫السالم‬ ‫عليه‬

2. P. Nuh (AS)-Among the
Earliest Prophets
After the passing of Prophet Adam (AS),
Allah (S) sent Prophet Idris (AS).
His descendants kept straying from his
teachings and Allah’s path- they invented
idol worshipping- so Allah sent Prophet Nuh
(AS).
The People of Nuh lived in Naynawah.
(Modern day Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Turkey)
They were the first to
invent idol worshipping: The
5 main idols were:
Wad, Suwa2, Yaghuth,
Yaooq, & Nasr

3. How did this Idol Worshipping
Begin?
There were 5 righteous men in the city who would
remind everyone of the teachings of the Prophets
and remind them to stay on the right path. When
these righteous men passed away, the people of
Naynawah came up with the idea to honor them by
making statues of them and placing them in the
center of the city..

4. For years people would pass by these statues
and remember the teachings of the good men.
However, as years passed, some started to
pass by the statues and make a wish.
Others would make sacrifices in front of the
statues and ask them for help.
Soon, people started to worship them, and
create more and more statues…
Idol worshipping had begun!

5. Prophet Nuh lived
for over a thousand
years - preaching to
his people for 950
years, as outlined in
Surah Al-‘Ankabut:
Nuh AS also warned his
people of a punishment
that awaited them if
they did not abandon
idol worship.

6. The Response of the People
All his warnings fell on deaf ears, and
only a handful of weak and poor men
took heed of them.
He left no stone unturned trying to help
his people see the truth, but they
belittled and rejected all his efforts.
 Everytime P.Nuh tried to help them, they placed
their fingers in their ears and covered their faces
with their clothing and were arrogant towards him.

7. P. Nuh’s Duaa against his
people
After 950 years of being mocked, Nuh (AS) realized
that his quarrelsome people would only go on to
spread corruption in the land.
He had been so patient with them, but the thought of
their offspring following in their crooked ways of idol
worshipping troubled him greatly.
For this reason, that Nuh (AS) made duaa to Allah to
destroy all the disbelievers on the Earth This was the
only way to save humanity.
(Note that at this time, there were not many humans
on Earth).

8. When Nuh (AS) began building the ark
on a hilltop, the disbelievers were
amused and mocked him. He was the
first man to ever build a ship.
His people called him a madman for
building something made for water
when they lived in the dry desert.
They winked at each other and burst
into fits of laughter everytime they
saw him.
Allah ordered and taught
P. Nuh how to build an ark
Oh so now
you’re a
carpenter?!
Madman!

9. Once P.Nuh completed the ship, he waited
patiently for Allah’s next command.
When the command came, he boarded the ark
with his family, the believers, and one male and
female (pair) of every animal, insect, and bird.
This baffled the idol-worshippers even more as
they could not make sense of what they were
witnessing.
One last time, P. Nuh begged his people to get
on the ark, but they refused. Even his own wife
and son would not get on with him.
The storm began!
“O my son! Ride with us
and be not among the
disbelievers.”
“I will get to the
mountain; it will save
me from the water.”

10. As the rain continued to pour,
the people climbed to the
tallest trees and then the
mountains in an effort to
escape the flood, but the water
kept rising. What used to be dry
land became a vast ocean.
All the disbelievers drowned,
including P. Nuh’s son and wife.

11. When every single disbeliever had perished,
Allah ordered the skies and the Earth:
“O Earth! Swallow up your water, and O
sky! Withhold your rain.”
The skies immediately cleared and the sun
shone brightly on the land.
Meanwhile, Nuh’s ark landed safely on
Mount Judi, which is in current day Turkey.
Prophet Nuh and the believers got off the
ark, releasing the rescued animals, birds
and insects across the green land.. The
believers were grateful to Allah for saving
them from the terrible punishment.
