*Hazrat Nuh (Peace be upon him) – Part 1*


*His Lineage:*  

His lineage is as follows: Nuh bin Lamak bin Matushalakh bin Khunukh bin Idris bin Shith bin Adam.


According to the statement of Ibn Jarir and others, his birth took place 126 years after the passing of Hazrat Adam (Peace be upon him). According to the chronology of the People of the Book, there was a gap of 146 years between the birth of Nuh (Peace be upon him) and the death of Adam (Peace be upon him).


And in Sahih Ibn Hibban it is mentioned that between them there were 10 generations — meaning 10 centuries or 10 lineages. As narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “Was Adam a prophet?” The Prophet said, “Yes, he was spoken to.” He asked, “What was the time span between him and Nuh?” The Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “10 generations.”


It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas. He said: Between Adam and Nuh there were 10 generations, and they were all upon Islam.


_We sent Nuh to his people, and he said to them: “O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. I fear for you the punishment of a great day.”_


_The chiefs of his people said: “Indeed, we see you in clear error.”_


_He said: “O my people, there is no error in me at all, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds. I convey to you the messages of my Lord and I am your sincere adviser. And I know from Allah what you do not know. Do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may become righteous and that you may receive mercy?”_


_But they denied him, so We saved Nuh and those who were with him in the ship, and We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people._

AL ASHARI SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

 AL ASHARI SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY The more constructive among Asharite thinkers for no doubt on the right path and anticipated some of the more modern forms of idealism yet on the whole the object of the Asharite movement was simply to defend orthodox opinion with the weapons of Greek dialectic.Muslim thinkers of the school of Al AShari did not believe in the infinite divisibility of space and time with them space , time and motion are made up of points and instance which cannot be further subdivided. Ibne Azam however rejected the Asharaite notion of infinite smalls and modern mathematics has confirmed his view. the Asharite argument therefore cannot logically resolve the paradox of zeno Reference: The reconstruction of religious thought in Islam- Allama Iqbal.
