<h2>Name</h2>
<p>"Nuh" is the name of this Surah as well as the title of its subject matter, for in it, from beginning to the end, the story of the Prophet Noah has been related.</p>
<h2>Period of Revelation</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Theme and Subject</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href=/71/2-4>vv. 2-4</a> briefly explain how he began his mission and what he preached.</p>
<p>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 <a href=/71/5-20>vv. 5-20</a>. 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.</p>
<p>After this, the Prophet Noah's final submission has been recorded in <a href=/71/21-24>vv. 21-24</a>, 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 <a href=/71/25>next verse (25)</a>, it has been said: "The torment of Allah descended on those people because of their misdeeds."</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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 <a href=/7/59-64>Al-Araf: 59-64</a>, <a href=/10/71-73>Yunus: 71-73</a>, <a href=/11/25-49>Hud: 25-49</a>, <a href=/23/23-31>Al-Mu'minun: 23-31</a>, <a href=/26/105-122>Ash- Shua'ra: 105-122</a>, <a href=/29/14-15>Al-Ankabut: 14-15</a>, <a href=/37/75-82>As-Saaffat: 75-82</a>, <a href=/54/9-16>Al-Qamar: 9-16</a>.</p>

About the Quran

The Quran

The Quran is the holy scripture of Islam. Muslims believe that it is the literal word of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) over a period of 23 years. The Quran is composed of 114 Surahs (chapters) and contains 6,236 Ayat (verses). Muslim beliefs and practices are based on the Quran and the Sunnah, the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم).

The Kaaba in Mecca
A mosque in South America

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs are the later Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed in Medina after the Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. They were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
