Five
Prophets

“اولو العزم” (the Messengers of Firm) is a term used to describe the prophets who withstand the most toughest of hardships. "So endure patiently, as did the Messengers of Firm Resolve. And do not ˹seek to˺ hasten ˹the torment˺ for the deniers. On the Day they see what they have been threatened with, it will be as if they had only stayed ˹in this world˺ for an hour of a day. ˹This is˺ a ˹sufficient˺ warning! Then, will anyone be destroyed except the rebellious people?" (Qur’an 46:35). These prophets are Noah, Ibrahim, Isa, Musa, and Mohammed (PBUT).

Context

  • Noah was sent as a messenger to his people, who were deeply immersed in idol worship and disobedience to Allah. He called them to monotheism, urging them to abandon their false gods and turn to Allah for forgiveness and mercy.

  • Despite his tireless efforts, which spanned over 950 years (Surah Al-‘Ankabut 29:14), the majority of his people rejected his message, mocked him, and persisted in their wrongdoing.

  • After Noah’s repeated calls and their persistent rejection, Allah revealed to Noah that no more of his people would believe, except those who already had. He was instructed to build an ark as a means of salvation for himself and the believers (Surah Hud 11:36-37).

  • The building of the ark was itself a miracle, as Noah constructed it in an area far from any water source, leading to more mockery from his people.

Miracle

    • When the time came, Allah commanded Noah to take aboard the ark his family, the believers, and pairs of every species of animal (Surah Hud 11:40).

    • The earth erupted with water, and the skies poured rain, creating a massive flood that engulfed everything and destroyed the disbelievers (Surah Al-Qamar 54:11-12).

  • Noah’s Son:

    • One of Noah’s sons, who refused to board the ark, attempted to seek refuge on a mountain, believing it would protect him. Noah pleaded with him, but the son was among the drowned, signifying the inevitability of Allah’s decree (Surah Hud 11:42-43).

    • The flood subsided, and the ark came to rest on Mount Judi. Allah commanded Noah and those with him to disembark and repopulate the earth (Surah Hud 11:44-48).

    • This marked a new chapter for humanity, with Noah and his followers as the righteous successors.
