Tale#33: Prophetic Tales: Episode1:The Amazing Story of Hazrat Nuh (Noah)|Saturday
A Story of Trust, Courage, and Allah's Promise
A long time ago, in a world much like ours, there lived a kind and brave man named Prophet Nuh (Peace Be Upon Him). He was a man who loved Allah with all his heart, and he tried his best to teach the people around him to be kind and good. But there was a big problem.
The people around him had forgotten about Allah. They didn’t listen to his words. They kept doing bad things and turning away from what was right.
Can you imagine how lonely Prophet Nuh (PBUH) must have felt? Every day, he prayed to Allah and tried his best to remind the people to worship Allah, but they laughed at him. They didn’t believe in what he said. Prophet Nuh (PBUH) didn’t give up, though. He knew in his heart that Allah’s message was true, and he had to keep trying.
One day, as Prophet Nuh (PBUH) sat quietly, thinking about how to help the people, Allah spoke to him. It wasn’t a voice anyone could hear, but Allah’s message was clear.
"Prophet Nuh, build an ark. A great flood is coming, and you must save yourself, your family, and the animals."
Imagine the surprise and wonder Prophet Nuh (PBUH) must have felt! A flood? He had never seen a flood like that before. But he trusted Allah completely. Allah had told him what to do, so Prophet Nuh (PBUH) began to build the ark, a huge, giant boat.
The people saw him working and laughed even harder.
"Why are you building a boat? There is no water here!" they mocked. "You’re crazy!"
But Prophet Nuh (PBUH) didn’t mind their laughter. He smiled gently and said, "Allah has told me to build this boat, and I trust in His plan. One day, you will see." Still, the people ignored him and continued with their bad ways.
Days turned into months, and months into years, but Prophet Nuh (PBUH) never stopped building the ark. Every nail, every plank of wood, was a step toward the great promise Allah had given him.
And then, one day, something extraordinary happened. The sky turned dark, the wind howled, and suddenly, the rain began. At first, it was just a few drops, but then the rain started to pour and pour, non-stop.
Can you imagine what it must have felt like? The rain fell harder, and the water began to rise. The flood came, just as Allah had said. But Prophet Nuh (PBUH) and the animals he had saved were safe on the ark.
There were lions, elephants, birds, and even tiny insects. Can you picture them all inside the ark, huddled together, safe from the storm outside? It must have been a little noisy and crowded, but everyone was safe.
The flood lasted for many days, and Prophet Nuh (PBUH) stayed patient, praying and trusting in Allah’s plan. Every day, he comforted his family, made dua, and took care of the animals.
And then, after what seemed like forever, the rain finally stopped. The clouds parted, and the sun began to shine again.
The ark slowly came to rest on top of a mountain, and the waters began to go down. Prophet Nuh (PBUH) and his family stepped out of the ark and saw the fresh, clean earth before them. The world had been renewed. Everything was calm, peaceful, and full of hope again.
Prophet Nuh (PBUH) smiled as he looked around. He knew that Allah’s plan was perfect. Allah had saved them all, and now they had a new chance to start fresh.
Moral of the Story:
If you ever feel like the world isn’t listening, remember Prophet Nuh (PBUH). He didn’t stop, even when people made fun of him. He trusted Allah, and in the end, Allah’s plan was the best. Patience, trust, and faith in Allah will always guide you through the toughest times.
