The Brief History of Prophet Nuh (AS):

Prophet Nuh was a very special and obedient man chosen by Allah. He lived a long time ago and was sent by Allah to guide his people.

Prophet Nuh had a special quality called “endurance.” This means he had a lot of patience and kept doing what Allah asked him to do, even when it was hard. He spent many years trying to teach his people about Allah and how to be good.

However, many people did not listen to Prophet Nuh. They disobeyed Allah and did bad things. Even his own son did not listen to his advice and stayed with the disobedient people.

As a result of their disobedience, Allah sent a big flood to cleanse the earth. He told Prophet Nuh to build a huge ship, an ark, and gather animals and believers in it. The flood came, and everything was covered with water. But the people and animals in the ark were safe.

The flood showed the result of disobedience, but it also showed the result of Prophet Nuh’s obedience and endurance. He and the believers were saved, and they started a new life after the flood.

Prophet Nuh’s story teaches us about the importance of obeying Allah and having endurance, even when it’s difficult. It shows that Allah rewards those who are patient and obedient.

So, Prophet Nuh’s story is a lesson in faith, endurance, and the consequences of disobedience. It reminds us to be patient and always do what is right in the eyes of Allah. 🌊🙏
