00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Noah is telling his son, oh my son
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			come and ride with us.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			Come.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			And don't be from the disbelievers.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			You know what the son replied?
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			I'm going to climb at the top of
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			the mountain. I'll do mountain climbing.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			I'll be hiking up. I'll go to the
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			top of the mountain. It will save me
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			from the water. What's the big deal? Every
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			time water comes, we can go to a
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			high area and there won't be any water
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			in the high area.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Nuh alayhi wa sallam looked at his son
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			and says, You know what?
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Nobody is going to be saved from the
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			command of Allah on this day, except the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			one whom Allah has mercy on.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			And suddenly what happened, a massive wave
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			came
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			between them.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			And that young fellow drowned.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			Up to this day, the echo of Nuh
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			salam's words remains with us in the Quran.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Allah mentions it not so that you can
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			say nice story, but you ask yourself how
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			many times have people reminded you and I
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			to do good and to quit the bad
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			because it will there will be a day
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			when it will be too late. But we
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			don't listen to the echoes, and we don't
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			want that enlightenment.
