Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
tafseer
This
also is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah, but the
internal evidence of its subject matter shows that it was sent down in
the period when opposition to the Holy Prophet's message of Islam by the
disbelievers of Makkah had grown very strong and active.
Theme and Subject
In
this surah the story of the Prophet Noah has not been related only for
the sake of story telling, but its object is to warn the disbelievers of
Makkah, so as to say:"You, O people of Makkah, are adopting towards
Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) the same attitude as
the people of the Prophet Noah had adopted towards him; if you do not
change this attitude, you too would meet with the same end." This had
not been said in so many words anywhere in the Surah, but in the
background of the conditions under which this story was narrated to the
people of Makkah, this subject itself became obvious.
Vv. 2-4 briefly explain how he began his mission and what he preached.
Then
after suffering hardships and troubles in the way of preaching his
mission for ages the report that he made to his Lord has been given in
vv. 5-20. In it he states how he had been trying to bring his people to
the right path and how his people had stubbornly opposed him.
After
this, the Prophet Noah's final submission has been recorded in vv.
21-24, in which he prays to his Lord, saying: "These people have
rejected my invitation: they are blindly following their chiefs, who
have devised a tremendous plot of deceit and cunning. Time now has come
when these people should be deprived of every grace to accept guidance."
This was not an expression of impatience by the Prophet Noah, but when
after having preached his message under extremely trying circumstances
for centuries be became utterly disappointed with his people, he formed
the opinion that no chance whatever was left of their coming to the
right path. His this opinion fully conformed to Allah's own decision.
Thus, in the next verse (25), it has been said: "The torment of Allah
descended on those people because of their misdeeds."
In
the concluding verse, the Prophet Noah's supplication that he made to
his Lord, right at the time the torment descended, has been recorded. In
it he prays for his own and for all the believers' forgiveness, and
makes a submission to Allah to the effect: "Do not leave any of the
disbelievers alive on the earth, for they have become utterly devoid of
every good: they will not beget any but disbelieving and wicked
descendants."
While
studying this Surah one should keep in view the details of the Prophet
Noah's story which have been given in the Qur'an above. For this see
Al-Araf: 59-64 Yunus: 71,73, Hud: 25-49, Al-Mu'minun: 23-31, Ash-
Shua'ra: 105-122, Al-Ankabut: 14,15, As-Saaffat: 75-82, Al-Qamar: 9-16.

- We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
- He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:
- "That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:
- "So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
- He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
- "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
- "And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
- "So I have called to them aloud;
- "Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
- "Saying, ´Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;
- "´He will send rain to you in abundance;
- "´Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).
- "´What is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long-suffering in Allah,-
- "´Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?
- "´See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
- "´And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?
- "´And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),
- "´And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?
- "´And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),
- "´That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.´"
- Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.
- "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.
- "And they have said (to each other), ´Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa´, neither Yaguth nor Ya´uq, nor Nasr´;-
- "They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong-doers but in straying (from their mark)."
- Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of Allah- none to help them.
- And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!
- "For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.
- "O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!"
