144 Life Sketch


Meaning : "It will move on with name of Allah and it also will
stop with the name of Allah. My Lord is the Forgiving and the
Merciful."


The incessant rain continued for forty days. Water also kept on
coming out of the ground with great speed. The earth went
under floodwater. All the disbelievers perished drowning.


Hazrat Nooh (As) had one son, named kena'n. He also died
drowning for disobeying the biddings of Allah and the prophets.


Hazrat Nooh (As) prayed to Allah to stop the flood. After forty
days the flood stopped and the water started receding. The ship
of Hazrat Nooh (As) stopped on the mountain Judi. Hazrat
Nooh (As) got down from the ship with all his followers and the
animals Again the earth became habitable with greenery as it
was before. The human life started anew. Hazrat Nooh (As)
devoted himself with full vigour for preaching Allah's religion
again


After the flood Hazrat Nooh (A) cultivated earth again as did
Hazrat Adam (As). This is why Nooh (As) is regarded as the
second Adam.


Hazrat Nooh (As) was totally devoted to preaching the truth and
the righteousness. He never stopped to doing his missionary
campaign in spite of many obstacles.


Similar sufferings and tortures also may come in our life too if
we go on doing the same job preaching of truth and justice. In
such conditions we should forbear and remain steadfast on
Allah's way.
