You may have known the story of Noah,
and I believe most of the Muslims know
about the story of Noah, but you may
not be knowing about the relationship.
If you read Surah Hud, chapter number 11,
verse number 40 to 47, it speaks about
Noah and Noah's ark and how he built
the ark, he told the people that there's
a flood going to come, rain going to
come.
Most of the people didn't believe in him.
Surah Hud, chapter number 11, verse number 40
to 47 says that Noah, peace be upon
him, asked the Almighty God that you collect
one pair of all living creatures and put
in the ark, and let the family members
come and the believers.
And he builds the ark and he puts
a pair of living creatures, animals, the birds.
He tells his son that there is going
to be flood.
His son does not believe, and his son
does not believe in his father.
Noah, peace be upon him, son does not
believe.
Later on when it starts to rain, again
Noah, peace be upon him, requests his son,
come in the ark.
He said no father, I will go to
the topmost peak on the mountain.
The water will never reach there, and he
goes to the peak.
Then it starts to pour.
It pours heavily.
The water keeps on rising.
It rises and rises and even goes above
the level of the peak of the mountain.
At that time, when his son cries out
for help, Noah, peace be upon him, tells
Allah, peace be upon him, and reminds him
of his promise that, O Allah, didn't you
promise that you'll save my family members?
Allah, peace be upon him, in Surah Hud,
chapter number 11, verse 46 and 47, what
reply does Allah give?
Allah says your son is not amongst your
family members.
Your son is not your family member, and
do not ask for his safety, and you
do not know.
Allah says your son is not amongst your
family members, and you do not know, I
know.
Then Noah, peace be upon him, asks for
forgiveness.
I have no knowledge, you have the best
knowledge.
Here Allah says the relationship of Iman, that
means he was his blood son, but he
did not have Iman.
So the relationship of Iman, the relationship of
faith, is far superior even than blood relationship.
If you read Surah Maryam, chapter number 19,
verse number 47, there it is said in
the Quran that Ibrahim, peace be upon him,
prays for his father, because he had promised
that he'll pray for him.
But the verse of Allah says that you
cannot pray for a person who's a mushrik,
who worships somebody else besides Allah after he
has died.
And Ibrahim, peace be upon him, after knowing
this, he stops praying, because his father was
an idolater.
So here the son leaves the father, who
doesn't have Iman, for the sake of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
You have many such examples.
If you read Surah Tahreem, chapter number 66,
verse number 10, it speaks about the wives
of Noah, peace be upon him, and Lut,
peace be upon him.
They did not believe, though their husband was
a messenger of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
they did not believe.
And both their wives had to perish.
If you read the Quran, Surah Tahreem, chapter
number 66, verse number 11, it speaks about
Hazrat Asiyah, may Allah be pleased with her,
who was the wife of Fir'aun.
She's praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
Ya Rabb, O my Lord, give me a
mansion, a house in Jannah, close to You,
and save me from the evil of Fir
'aun.
That time, Fir'aun was the most powerful
human being on the face of the earth.
He used to call himself God.
He was a Taghut, the most richest man
in the world, the most powerful man in
the world.
Here his wife, Hazrat Asiyah, she's praying to
Almighty God, that give me a house, a
mansion in Jannah, close to You, in exchange
for the luxury of the husband.
Imagine, she wants to exchange the wealth in
the world, all just for a mansion in
Jannah, close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
All these examples show that the brotherhood of
faith is far superior than any other brotherhood,
even the brotherhood of blood relationship.
The quotation of the glorious Quran from Surah
Nisa, Chapter number 4, verse number 1, it
says, O mankind, reverence your guardian Lord, who
has created you from a single person, and
created of like nature His mate.
And to the end of our supplication, all
praise is due to Allah, Lord of the
worlds.
