you to become disrespectful and disobedient to your elders, and to hinder
you from giving thanks to Allah, praying and always telling the truth.
Never allow Satan to deceive you and to hinder you from becoming a
person of good character and listening to the voice of your conscience.
You must take refuge in Allah and ask help from Him when an evil
thought occurs to you or when you find yourself unwilling to do a good
deed, since all these are the cunning tricks of Satan. Never forget that
Satan can exercise no authority over those who have faith.
The Prophet Nuh (Noah)
Nuh, peace be upon him, like all the other prophets, summoned his
people to the true path. He told them that they must have faith in Allah,
that He is the Creator of everything, that they must worship none but
Him, otherwise they would be punished. This is related in the Qur'an as
follows:
We sent Nuh to his people: "I am a clear warner to you.
Worship none but Allah. I fear for you the punishment of a
painful day." (Surah Hud: 25-26)
Despite all his warnings, only a few people believed in Nuh. Upon
this, Allah commanded Nuh to build a great ship. Allah informed him that
the people of faith would be saved in that ship.
