Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n

    This du\u2019a is a perfect example for us to learn how we could use our emotional state to call for Allah\u2019s help. Allah responded to Nuh\u2019s prayer and closed the case for all those who disbelieved and denied.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    The one quality we see in all the Prophets (may peace be upon them) is extreme determination.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    To increase the power of your du\u2019a, you can also use your emotional state or circumstance. For example, saying, \u201cO Allah, I am faqeer (\u0641\u0642\u06cc\u0631)\u201d meaning from poverty or in a dire circumstance. It is stated that Allah responds to those who show complete submission and dependence on Him for change.<\/div>\n
    \u201cIs He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?\u201d<\/div>\n
    The Prophets were obsessed and showed no quit in them even though faced with many setbacks. In the end, nothing could deter them from doing what was required of them. All the Prophets fought and struggled against perversion and deviation. They faced constant ridicule, torture, and banishment and came into harm\u2019s way for being vocal in what they believed. We hear the word Prophet and imagine a person of high status, respected, and beloved, and there is some truth to this, but this admiration was earned. Their mission was to guide and help people and they worked tirelessly towards this mission. Imagine the critics that would show up today if you, by yourself, told an entire community their current beliefs and practices were wrong. This is something Prophet Nuh (as) had to personally deal with.<\/div>\n
    After the death of Prophet Adam (as), the people over the years began to drift away and commit shirk (i.e., worshipping idols, statues, and creating associations with Allah). Allah, in His Mercy, sent guidance to the people through Nuh (as). It is stated that the people who were receptive to this message were the poor. The others were said to have plugged their ears; some even became hostile towards Nuh (as) and took it upon themselves to berate and humiliate him.<\/div>\n
    It is narrated that the people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, \u201cA madman,\u201d and he was repelled. They even threatened Nuh (as), saying, \u201cIf you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned.\u201d It is also reported that when some of his people found him somewhere, they would choke him, as a result, he would become unconscious. But when he recovered, he would pray to Allah, \u201cO Allah! Forgive my people, for they do not know the truth.\u201d Additionally, it is narrated that the Prophet (\ufdfa) spoke about one of the prophets whose people had beaten and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood off his face and saying, \u201cO Lord! Forgive my people as they do not know.\u201d Although the Prophet goes unnamed in this narration, the belief is that it could be referencing Prophet Nuh (as), and Allah knows best.<\/div>\n
    The Prophets were obsessed and showed no quit in them even though faced with many setbacks. In the end, nothing could deter them from doing what was required of them. They kept plugging away, day after day, without losing hope or faith. It is stated that Nuh (as) endured patiently and preached Islam for 950 years. In that time, the numbers of believers did not increase (remember this next time you want to quit because you haven\u2019t seen progress in the first 2 weeks of starting something new).<\/div>\n
    One generation after the next, they waged war against Nuh (as), fighting back against what he taught. Even his own son rejected his call. When the city was being flooded, Nuh (as) cried out, \u201cO my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers.\u201d But he said, \u201cI will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water.\u201d Nuh (as) replied, \u201cThere is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy.\u201d And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.<\/div>\n
    Having this context allows us to understand the emotional pain Prophet Nuh (as) must have experienced when he recited the du\u2019a, Rabbi inni maghlubun fan-tass-ssir, \u201cMy Lord, Indeed, I am overpowered, so help.\u201d This is also a perfect example for us to learn how we could use our emotional state to call for Allah\u2019s help. Allah responded to Nuh\u2019s prayer and closed the case for all those who disbelieved and denied. It is narrated that then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
