16 00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:37,420 In the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula. 17 00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:39,420 There was. 18 00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,420 A people known as. 19 00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:43,549 Banu Rasib. 20 00:00:43,549 --> 00:00:45,549 Between them and Adam, peace be upon him, there were. 21 00:00:45,549 --> 00:00:47,549 Ten centuries. 22 00:00:47,549 --> 00:00:49,549 They spent those long centuries. 23 00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:51,549 As a single Ummah. 24 00:00:51,549 --> 00:00:53,619 Upon monotheism. 25 00:00:53,619 --> 00:00:55,619 Among them were five men. 26 00:00:55,619 --> 00:00:57,619 Who were righteous. 27 00:00:57,619 --> 00:00:59,619 Renowned for their worship. 28 00:00:59,619 --> 00:01:01,619 Until the people grew to love them. 29 00:01:01,619 --> 00:01:03,619 They were Wadd, Suwa', 30 00:01:03,619 --> 00:01:05,620 Yaghuth, Ya'uq, and Nasr. 31 00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:07,969 When these. 32 00:01:07,969 --> 00:01:09,969 Righteous men died. 33 00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:11,969 Satan came. 34 00:01:11,969 --> 00:01:13,969 In the guise of a sincere elder. 35 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:15,969 To the people who lived. 36 00:01:15,969 --> 00:01:17,969 In their time. 37 00:01:17,969 --> 00:01:19,969 And suggested that they create. 38 00:01:19,969 --> 00:01:21,969 Images of those righteous men. 39 00:01:21,969 --> 00:01:23,969 And fashion for them. 40 00:01:23,969 --> 00:01:25,969 Statues, and place them. 41 00:01:25,969 --> 00:01:27,969 In prominent places. 42 00:01:27,969 --> 00:01:29,969 So that when they saw them. 43 00:01:30,969 --> 00:01:32,969 They would remember them. 44 00:01:32,969 --> 00:01:34,969 And that would be a cause. 45 00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:36,969 For their diligence in worship. 46 00:01:36,969 --> 00:01:39,030 As well. 47 00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:41,030 So the people did what. 48 00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:43,030 Satan commanded them. 49 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:45,159 And they continued in that. 50 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:47,159 Until those people died. 51 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,159 And a generation came after them. 52 00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:51,159 Then others. 53 00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:53,159 And so on. 54 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:55,159 Until the purpose of these images. 55 00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:57,379 And statues was forgotten. 56 00:01:57,379 --> 00:01:59,379 Then Satan came to the people. 57 00:01:59,379 --> 00:02:01,379 And said to them. 58 00:02:01,379 --> 00:02:03,379 That these images were what. 59 00:02:03,379 --> 00:02:05,379 Those before you used to seek intercession through. 60 00:02:05,379 --> 00:02:07,379 And because of them. 61 00:02:07,379 --> 00:02:09,379 Rain would descend upon them. 62 00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:11,379 And they used to call upon them. 63 00:02:11,379 --> 00:02:13,379 So you call upon them as well. 64 00:02:13,379 --> 00:02:15,379 So they called upon them instead of. 65 00:02:15,379 --> 00:02:17,379 Allah, and worshipped. 66 00:02:17,379 --> 00:02:19,379 These images and statues. 67 00:02:19,379 --> 00:02:21,379 And this was. 68 00:02:21,379 --> 00:02:23,379 The first shirk on earth. 69 00:02:23,379 --> 00:02:26,860 And among those. 70 00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:28,860 People was a righteous man. 71 00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,860 Called Nuh Ibn Lamak. 72 00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:32,889 He did not drift into. 73 00:02:32,889 --> 00:02:34,889 What his people had descended into. 74 00:02:34,889 --> 00:02:36,889 So he isolated himself from them and their shirk. 75 00:02:36,889 --> 00:02:38,889 And he was. 76 00:02:38,889 --> 00:02:40,889 Tending to his small flock of sheep. 77 00:02:40,889 --> 00:02:42,889 And living with his small family. 78 00:02:42,889 --> 00:02:44,889 Consisting of his wife. 79 00:02:44,889 --> 00:02:46,889 And his four sons. 80 00:02:46,889 --> 00:02:48,889 Who were Yam, Sam, 81 00:02:48,889 --> 00:02:50,889 Ham, and Yafith. 82 00:02:50,889 --> 00:02:53,240 Allah the Exalted revealed. 83 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,240 To Nuh, peace be upon him. 84 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,240 So he became a prophet. 85 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,240 And He sent him to his people. 86 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,240 As a warner and a cautioner. 87 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,240 Thus he became the first. 88 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,240 Messenger to the people of the earth. 89 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,460 Nuh complied with. 90 00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:09,460 The command of Allah the Exalted. 91 00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:11,460 And began calling his people. 92 00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:13,460 To the worship of Allah alone. 93 00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:15,460 Warning them against shirk. 94 00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:17,460 And encouraging them toward the good. 95 00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:19,460 From Allah the Exalted. 96 00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:21,530 He was steadfast in His command. 97 00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:23,530 And he employed with them every. 98 00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:25,530 Possible method of da'wah. 99 00:03:25,530 --> 00:03:27,530 He would call them. 100 00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:29,530 By night and by day. 101 00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:31,530 But it only increased them. 102 00:03:31,530 --> 00:03:33,530 In flight. 103 00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:35,530 And they would mock him. 104 00:03:35,530 --> 00:03:37,530 And behave with poor manners. 105 00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:39,530 Whenever he spoke with them. 106 00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:41,530 “And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.” (71:7) 107 00:03:41,530 --> 00:03:43,530 They would cover their heads. 108 00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:45,530 With their garments. 109 00:03:45,530 --> 00:03:47,530 Persisting in their disbelief. 110 00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:49,530 And acting arrogantly against. 111 00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:51,819 Hearing the truth. 112 00:03:51,819 --> 00:03:53,819 Nuh, peace be upon him, did not stop. 113 00:03:53,819 --> 00:03:55,819 Despite all those actions. 114 00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:57,819 From them. 115 00:03:57,819 --> 00:03:59,819 Sometimes he would call them. 116 00:03:59,819 --> 00:04:01,819 In public. 117 00:04:01,819 --> 00:04:03,819 And other times he would advise them privately. 118 00:04:03,819 --> 00:04:05,879 All of this out of his concern. 119 00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:07,879 And his fear for them. 120 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:09,879 And he would entice them. 121 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:11,879 That if they believed in Allah. 122 00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:13,879 Allah would send down upon them. 123 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:15,879 Rain from the sky in abundance. 124 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:17,879 And increase them in wealth. 125 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:19,879 And children. 126 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:21,879 And provide them with gardens. 127 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:23,879 On earth. 128 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:25,910 And cause rivers to flow for them therein. 129 00:04:25,910 --> 00:04:27,910 And he would warn them. 130 00:04:27,910 --> 00:04:29,910 Of the punishment of Allah the Exalted. 131 00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:32,009 If they disobeyed His command. 132 00:04:32,009 --> 00:04:34,009 And Nuh, peace be upon him. 133 00:04:34,009 --> 00:04:36,009 Would also command them to reflect. 134 00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:38,009 On Allah's creation of the heavens. 135 00:04:38,009 --> 00:04:40,009 And how Allah placed. 136 00:04:40,009 --> 00:04:42,009 In them the sun and the moon. 137 00:04:42,009 --> 00:04:44,009 As a sign of His power. 138 00:04:44,009 --> 00:04:46,040 And His magnificent craftsmanship. 139 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,040 And he would command them to reflect on the earth. 140 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,040 How Allah spread it out. 141 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,040 Before them. 142 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,040 And carved out wide paths for them therein. 143 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040 So that they could move about. 144 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,199 With ease. 145 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:00,199 But all of that. 146 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,199 Was of no avail to them. 147 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:04,199 They persisted in their denial. 148 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:06,199 And their plotting against their prophet. 149 00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,199 And those with him, a great plot. 150 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,259 Allah the Exalted said. 151 00:05:10,259 --> 00:05:12,259 He said, "My Lord, 152 00:05:12,259 --> 00:05:14,389 Indeed I have called. 153 00:05:14,389 --> 00:05:16,389 My

00:05:24,389 Except in flight. 158 00:05:24,389 --> 00:05:26,389 And indeed, 159 00:05:26,389 --> 00:05:28,389 Whenever I called them. 160 00:05:28,389 --> 00:05:30,389 That You might forgive them. 161 00:05:30,389 --> 00:05:32,389 They put their fingers. 162 00:05:32,389 --> 00:05:34,389 In their ears. 163 00:05:38,389 --> 00:05:40,389 And covered themselves with their garments. 164 00:05:40,389 --> 00:05:42,389 And persisted. 165 00:05:42,389 --> 00:05:44,389 And were arrogant. 166 00:05:44,389 --> 00:05:46,389 With great arrogance. 167 00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:48,389 Then indeed, 168 00:05:48,389 --> 00:05:50,810 I called them publicly. 169 00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:52,810 Then indeed, 170 00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:56,759 I announced to them. 171 00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:58,759 And I
