Allah has sent down various prophets and messengers to humanity over long periods of time. In fact, the number may be a lot larger than we can imagine. Yet, Allah has only mentioned around 25 prophets in the Quran, and Muhammad (PBUH) is the last one of them. Among the numerous prophets who Allah discusses in the Quran is Prophet Nuh (AS), one of the earlier Prophets Mentioned in the Quran that Allah sent to humans. In the Quran, he is the next prophet after Adam (AS). Allah sent him to the people since they had begun to engage in idol worship. Among the people who descended from Adam (AS), some were righteous. However, many of them strayed from the straight path and let Satan influence them. They contradicted the very purpose of their creation as they began to worship other beings besides Allah. Nuh (AS) went to these people and preached to them for a long period. Allah even states in the Quran that the prophet preached to his people for 950 years! However, his people were stubborn in their disbelief and hence, Allah’s punishment followed for them, a drastic predicament indeed. Nuh (AS) repeatedly tried to convince his people to give up idol worship. He reminded them of their Lord and their duty to worship Allah. Then, he warned them of a painful torment if they didn’t stop with their evil habits. They wouldn’t take him seriously, laughing off his suggestions. They barely acknowledged his efforts, with only some of the poor and weak people of the community accepting the call to worship Allah. When he called them out in public then they rebelled even further. They would even stick their fingers in their ears.
