Sūrat Nūḥ (Arabic: سورة نوح) (Noah) is the 71st sura of the Qur'an with 28 ayat. It is about prophet Noah and his complaint about his people rejecting all warning Allah gave them through Nuh. It is also notable for attributing creation of the Sun and Moon to Allah.
Summary In Nuh, the 71st surah, the Quran refers to Nuh’s prophet hood in snippets. Even in the entire surah about him, the Qur’an states only the punishment of the disbelievers, assuming the readers already know the story of the prophet from past monotheistic religions. Nuh is a messenger for Allah. When Nuh realizes his messages are not accepted by the community, Nuh prays to Allah for help. Allah plans to flood the community in response to the prayers of Nuh. Allah commands Nuh to warn people of the flood. Allah brings forth the water from the skies to prove Nuh’s message to be accurate. In the Qur’an, Muhammad is able to use the flood as symbolization of the strength of Allah. Allah gives the world a new beginning. Allah renews the world specifically for the preservation of the believing community. The non-believers choose not to believe Nuh and his message and drown in the flood water. Because Nuh is unable to convince his people about the existence of Allah, the lives of Muhammad and Nuh parallel each other. The surah was used as a verse to encourage the prophet Muhammad; it shows that prophets before Muhammad had similar difficulties persuading disbelievers of Allah’s message.
Overview of the Sura Ayat 1-4 discusses the message Nuh received from Allah to share with his community, to serve God In Ayat 5-20, Nuh informs God that his people are not accepting his message. Nuh tries to make clear to the people that all of the Earth, the sun, the moon are signs of Allah’s existence. In Ayat 21-24, Nuh asks Allah to rid the world of the evildoers because they refused to abandon their idols and encourage others to do the same. In Ayat 25- 28,the disbelievers were all drowned and sent to Hell (as a result of the flood). Nuh asks Allah to forgive believers but to destroy disbelievers because their ideas will lead many astray.
Chronological Order of the Surah The surah is entirely Meccan meaning it was revealed while Muhammad was trying to create a Muslim community in Mecca. According to the Tanzil version, it was the 71st surah revealed. It was revealed after the 16th surah, Al-Nahl (The Bee) and before the 14th surah Ibrahim (Abraham). According to Nöldeke’s version, Nuh was the 53rd surah to be revealed. It was revealed after the 37th surah Saaffaat (ThoseWhoSetTheRanks), and before the 76th surah, Insaan or Dahr (Time or Man).
