Waves Like Mountains

What You Will Learn

• The first messenger to the people of the earth — the rank of Prophet Nuh in the Hadith of intercession (Sahih al-Bukhari 3340) and among the Ulul ‘Azm (33:7; 42:13), with a chart of his story’s episodes in seven surahs.
• 950 years of da‘wah — calling night and day, publicly and in private, with istighfar and reasoned argument (71:5–20), and the accusations of the chiefs (11:27; 26:111).
• How shirk began — the five idols of the people of Nuh (71:23) and the athar of Ibn ‘Abbas on statues of righteous men “when knowledge was forgotten” (Sahih al-Bukhari 4920).
• The ark, the flood and the defiant son — “planks and nails” (54:13), waves like mountains (11:42–43), coming to rest on Judi (11:44) and the plea of a father (11:45–47).
• A grateful servant — the title of Nuh (17:3), the nation of Muhammad ﷺ testifying for him (Sahih al-Bukhari 3339) and Allah giving respite to the wrongdoer (Sahih al-Bukhari 4686).
• What the Qur’an does not tell — a table of nine popular Israiliyyat, the scholarly difference on the extent of the flood, and honest archaeological notes: the British Museum Flood Tablet, Mesopotamian flood layers and the Durupınar claim.
