Allah Reminds Nuh (as) Not to Grieve
             It was revealed to Nuh: "None of thy people will believe except those who
             have believed already! So grieve no longer over their (evil) deeds." (Surah
             Hud: 36)


             Prayers of the Prophet Nuh (as)

             (Nuh:) "Judge Thou, then, between me and them openly, and deliver me
             and those of the Believers who are with me." (Surat ash-Shuara: 118)
             Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
             (Surat al-Qamar: 10)
             (Nuh:) He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day: But
             my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right)." (Surah Nuh: 5-6)
             (Nuh) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood!"
             (Surat al-Muminun: 26)
             (In the days of old), Nuh cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.
             (Surat as-Saffat: 75)



             The Construction of the Ark
             But construct an Ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration, and address Me
             no (further) on behalf of those who are in sin: for they are about to be
             overwhelmed (in the Flood). (Surah Hud: 37)



             The Destruction of the Prophet Nuh’s (as) People by
             Drowning
             But they rejected him, and We delivered him, and those with him, in the
             Ark: but We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our signs. They
             were indeed a blind people! (Surat al-A‘raf: 64)
             Thereafter We drowned those who remained behind. (Surat ash-Shuara:
             120)
             We (once) sent Nuh to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand
             years less fifty: but the Deluge overwhelmed them while they (persisted in)
             sin. (Surat al-Ankaboot: 14)
             But they denied him so We rescued him, and all those with him, in the Ark
             and We made them the successors and We drowned the people who
             denied Our Signs. See the final fate of those who were warned! (Surah
             Yunus: 73)
