وهي تجري بهم في موج كالجبال ونادى نوح ابنه وكان في معزل يا بني اركب معنا ولا تكن مع الكافرين ٤٢
وَهِىَ تَجْرِى بِهِمْ فِى مَوْجٍۢ كَٱلْجِبَالِ وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبْنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِى مَعْزِلٍۢ يَـٰبُنَىَّ ٱرْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٤٢
وَهِيَ

فِي
مَوۡجٖ
كَٱلۡجِبَالِ
وَنَادَىٰ
نُوحٌ

And ˹so˺ the Ark sailed with them through waves like mountains. Noah called out to his son, who stood apart, “O my dear son! Come aboard with us and do not be with the disbelievers.”

Bismillah

If there is imminent danger and if see our kids heading that way how do we act! We call them out loud or shout at them and some may even curse at them. When I read this ayah the way Nooh ( as) addressed his son amazes me. 'Ya Bunnayya' Subahan Allah how gently and lovingly he is calling!

We too wake up our kids for fajr or remind them to do some stuff like recite duas or Quran etc but what tone do we use!! If we are yelling at them...

Waves like mountains! Then how solid must that ship have been!

I've never appreciated this little detail before but Nuh AS must've been the greatest woodworker in history if he could build a ship that could withstand tsunami-like waves.

The Blessing of imam. Perhaps We do not reflect on this as much as we should. Allah Gives it to whomever He (Azzah wa Jal) Chooses. If not prophets (alayhim Assalaam) would have guided their beloveds.
Nuh his son, Ibrahim his father Muhammad (Alayhi salaat wa salaam) his uncle Abu Talib.
The heartbreaking scene of Nuh (Alayhi Assalaam) calling out to his son, is something to reflect on.
'My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You ...

Parenting, Patience, and the Trial of Faith
A Reflection on Surah Hud (11:41-44)

As I meet and talk with many parents, I often hear one recurring theme — the deep concern and sometimes despair they feel when they see their children straying from the right path. Even the most dedicated, loving parents, who have tried their best to raise their children with good values, find themselves at a loss when their children seem distant, rebellious, or lo...

Day 12, Answer 12, #AyahLookup ​ Challenge

One of the biggest trials and tribulations, indeed,
Parents take bullets for their children,
They give us sleep,
They give up food,
They give up convenience and peace of mind,
All for their children's safety and security, both in the physical and spiritual sense,

And to witness the demise of your own son in front of your own eyes, is definitely a big test!
And you know that death for him is not ...

AREN'T WE BEHAVING LIKE SON OF NUH (ALAYHISALAM)?

This Story is well known that is Nuh (alayhisalam) calling his son to embark the boat when great flood as warned by Allaah is about to happen.

His Son said 'I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water.' (Qur'aan 11:43)

But What happened we all know - He drowned

'And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.' (Qur'aan 11:43)

WHAT'S THE MORAL OF THE STORY?

'You like to argue'
How many times have we pestered our parents about things and went back and forth to the max
His dad was Nuh alayhi asalam.
This story scares me. I hope we never disobey and argue to perdition.
May Allah protect us from the evil of shaytan and the evil of ourselves and all evil which the Messsenger s. sought Allah swt 's protection from.
