PROPHET NUH 
LESSON 5
ALLAH'S PUNISHMENT: FROM THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH
"But they belied him, so We saved him and those along with him in the ship, and We drowned those who belied Our Signs. They were indeed a blind people." [Al-Qur’an 7:64]
In the face of the impending flood and decreed punishment, Prophet Nuh's own son, upon the disbelief of his people, attempted to flee from the safety of the ark. Despite Nuh's earnest pleadings and WARNINGS, his son chose to REJECT the message of truth and face the consequences of his disbelief.
Nuh's son decided to take REFUGE on a mountain instead of boarding the ship with his father and the believers. His father PLEADED with him to come aboard the ship and mentioned that nothing could save him except the mercy of Allah. His son, never imagining the waves would reach the levels of the mountains, came between them and he was among the drowned.
Tragically, among those who remained adamant in their rejection of Nuh's message were his own wife and son, who chose to align themselves with the disbelievers rather than embrace the guidance of Allah.
Nuh called out to his lord that he promised to save his family and Allah’s promise is the truth so he asked how can his son be among the drowned. However Allah explained that Nuh's son is not of his family that he would save as he was not a believer.
As the floodwaters rose from the earth and torrents of rain fell from the sky and heavens, the flood became increasingly overwhelming, rising ENGULFING the land and SUBMERGING everything. This catastrophic flood served as a manifestation of Allah's wrath upon the disbelieving people, fulfilling the divine decree of punishment.
Inevitably, the disbelievers who had scorned Nuh and defied Allah's command were engulfed by the surging waters, meeting their end in the depths of the flood.
By Allah’s command the rain stopped and the water ceased to gush from the earth. Following the devastating flood, the ark eventually came to rest upon Mount Judi, signalling the end of Allah's divine decree and the preservation of those who had heeded Nuh's call to faith.
In the aftermath of this cataclysmic event, Prophet Nuh humbly sought forgiveness from Allah, acknowledging his own limitations and flaws while expressing gratitude for the mercy and guidance bestowed upon him and his followers. This act of repentance and submission underscored Nuh's unwavering faith and devotion to Allah, even in the face of immense trials and tribulations.
