In
the Name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
The
heart-warming story of Prophet Noah and the Ark, and the Great Flood
which wiped out the disbelievers, is a source of inspiration and
comfort for the faithful. It is a foreshadowing of the impending
Apocalypse, and as such, is mentioned repeatedly throughout the
Suhufan Mutahharah.
Regarding
the fate of the people of Noah who rejected this great Messenger and
Prophet of Allah, the Qur'an Majid says:
وَ نَصَرۡنٰہُ مِنَ الۡقَوۡمِ الَّذِیۡنَ کَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّہُمۡ کَانُوۡا قَوۡمَ سَوۡءٍ فَاَغۡرَقۡنٰہُمۡ اَجۡمَعِیۡنَ ﴿۷۷
We
helped him against a people who rejected our Signs. Verily, they were
an evil people, so We drowned them all. (21:77)
However,
the so called “Shaikh ul Akbar” of the Sufis – Ibn Arabi –
has re-interpreted this story and critically twisted the teachings of
the Qur'an Majid on the subject of Noah and the Great Flood. Writing
about the people of Noah who rejected him, he says:
فَغَرِقُوا
فِي بِحَارِ
الْعِلْمِ بِاَللَّهِ
They
were drowned in the Sea of Knowledge of Allah
