Nabi Nuh as adalah rasul ke tiga dan keturunan ke sembilan dari Nabi Adam as. Baginda as juga dikenali sebagai Adam ke dua kerana selepas dunia dilanda banjir besar, yang hidup selepas itu adalah hanya keturunan darinya.
Ada beberapa fakta yg perlu kita ketahui sbg point2 penting utk kebenaran :
1. Sebelum atau ketika era kerasulan Nabi Nuh as belum lagi muncul agama yahudi atau nasrani/ kristian. Yahudi adalah dari keturunan Nabi Yakub as iaitu 12 orang anaknya yang menjadikan yahudi ada 12 suku kaum. Manakala kristian pula wujud dari zaman Nabi Isa as.
2. Nabi Nuh as bertawasul kpd Baginda SAW sbgmn Nabi Adam as. Ini bermakna Nabi Nuh as juga mengetahui berkenaan Baginda SAW.
3. Betapa mulia dan tingginya martabat Baginda SAW walaupun Allah SWT btau dlm AlQuran bahawa tidaklah dibezakan akan nabi2 Allah Taala itu, namun Nabi Nuh as berpangkat Nabi Ulul azmi masih bertawasul dgn Baginda SAW.
4. Walaupun para nabi dan rasul lahir sebelum kelahiran Baginda SAW tetapi mereka semua pastinya mengenali Baginda as . Kalaulah ahlul kitab, Allah SWT nyatakan mereka lebih mengenali Baginda SAW dari anak mereka sendiri maka pastilah Nabi2 dan Rasul juga mengenali Baginda SAW. Firman Allah SWT :
{ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَعۡرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعۡرِفُونَ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡۖ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ لَيَكۡتُمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ }
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 146]
Orang-orang yang telah Kami beri Kitab (Taurat dan Injil) mengenalnya (Muhammad) seperti mereka mengenal anak-anak mereka sendiri. Sesungguhnya sebagian mereka pasti menyembunyikan kebenaran, padahal mereka mengetahui(nya).
5. Bukan itu sahaja, semua para Nabi dan Rasul sebelum menerima tugas sbg nabi dan rasul, mereka kenalah berjanji akan beriman dan menolong Baginda SAW. Ini berpandukan firman Allah SWT :
{ وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ لَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُكُم مِّن كِتَٰبٖ وَحِكۡمَةٖ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولٞ مُّصَدِّقٞ لِّمَا مَعَكُمۡ لَتُؤۡمِنُنَّ بِهِۦ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥۚ قَالَ ءَأَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ وَأَخَذۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُمۡ إِصۡرِيۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَقۡرَرۡنَاۚ قَالَ فَٱشۡهَدُواْ وَأَنَا۠ مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ }
[Surah Âl-`Imrân: 81]
6. Disebabkan semua Nabi dan Rasul mengetahui Baginda SAW dan mereka juga mengetahui Baginda SAW adalah rahmat sekalian alam, maka pastilah kabar gembira yang dikatakan oleh Nabi Isa as dan yang diyakini serta ditunggu2 oleh penganut kristian sekarang ini, pastinya bukan berita turunnya Nabi Isa as tetapi akan berita datang (lahirnya) Nabi sesudahnya iaitu Baginda SAW. Nabi2 sebelumnya pastilah tidak menyebut akan datangnya berita gembira sesudah mereka sebagaimana Nabi Isa as. Malah berita gembira itu pula bukanlah bermakna berita akan turunnya kembali ke dunia akan Nabi Isa as, tetapi berita gembira itu pastilah akan lahirnya manusia paling mulia dan penghulu segala nabi dan rasul sbg rahmat bagi sekalian alam. Ini sejajar dgn firman Allah SWT :
{ وَإِذۡ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُم مُّصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرَۢا بِرَسُولٖ يَأۡتِي مِنۢ بَعۡدِي ٱسۡمُهُۥٓ أَحۡمَدُۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ }
[Surah As-Saff: 6]
{ وَإِذۡ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُم مُّصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرَۢا بِرَسُولٖ يَأۡتِي مِنۢ بَعۡدِي ٱسۡمُهُۥٓ أَحۡمَدُۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ }
[Surah As-Saff: 6]
Dan (ingatlah) ketika Isa putra Maryam berkata, “Wahai Bani Israil! Sesungguhnya aku utusan Allah kepadamu, yang membenarkan kitab (yang turun) sebelumku, yaitu Taurat dan memberi kabar gembira dengan seorang Rasul yang akan datang setelahku, yang namanya Ahmad (Muhammad).” Namun ketika Rasul itu datang kepada mereka dengan membawa bukti-bukti yang nyata, mereka berkata, “Ini adalah sihir yang nyata.”
7. Cuba bayangkan... Di dalam seruan untuk membina bahtera, yang menyuruh membuat bahtera adalah Allah Taala dan dalam pengawasan Allah Taala, yang menjadi arkitek dan membantu membuat bahtera adalah jibril as dan para malaikat, jadi bagaimana lagi Nabi Nuh as masih memerlukan tawasul dgn Baginda SAW dan ahlul baitnya agar selamat dlm banjir, ribut taufan banjir besar yang tiada daratan selama 6 bulan itu?
Oleh itu sebagai Kesimpulan keselamatan dunia ini dan terutamanya di akhirat kelak terutama untuk umat zaman ini adalah benar2 kepada Baginda SAW. Umat manusia zaman ini tidak akan selamat melainkan mengikuti apa yg dibawa dan ditinggalkan oleh Baginda SAW. Inilah salah satu makna Baginda SAW RAHMATAL LIL ALAMIN
THE DISCOVERY OF WHAT WAS BELIEVED TO BE THE NOAH'S ARK REVEALED THE AHLUL BHAYT
"Behold! My Ahl al-Bayt are like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarked on it was saved, and whoever turned away from it perished."- Muhammad (Pbuh)
- al-Hakim al-Naysaburi, al-Mustadrak `ala al-Sahihayn, volume 3, p. 151 and volume 2, page 343. He states that it is sahih in accordance with the criteria of Muslim
- al-Suyuti, al-Durr al-Manthur, volume 1, pages 71-72
- Ibn Hajar al-Makki, al-Sawa�iq al-Muhriqa, page 140. He states that this tradition has come down through many chains of narration that strengthen each other.
During the month of July 1951 a team of Russian archaeologist experts, were surveying the Valley of Kaaf. Perhaps they were busy in finding a new mine. They noticed a few pieces of rotten wood at a place. The group officer started digging the place. To his surprise he found heaps of wood pressed there under the earth. Experts by observing a few layers speculated that these woods are extraordinary and possess obscure mystery.
They excavated the place with deep interest. They found quite a good amount of wood and many other things. They also found a long rectangular wooden plate. The experts were surprised to observe that this particular plate ad measuring 14" x 10", was in far better condition among other wood which were on the verge of decomposition, due to aging. After investigation at the end of 1952, experts came to the conclusion that this particular plate belonged to Noah's Ark, which had rested on the peak of Mount Calff (Judy). And the plate, on which a few words of some ancient language were inscribed, was fixed on the Ark.
After it was proved that the wood found in the excavation are that of the Noah's Ark, the curiosity as to what was written on the wooden plate was aroused. A board of experts was appointed by the Russian Government under its Research Department to investigate the language of the wooden plate. The Board started its work from the 27th of February 1953. Following were the members of this board:
Prof. Solomon (Sula Nouf), Professor of Languages, Moscow University
Prof. Ifahan Kheeno, scholar in ancient languages, Luluhan College, China
Mr. Mishaou Lu Farug. Officer I/c fossils, manager of ancient monuments
Mr. Taumol Goru, Professor of Languages, Cafezud/Kivzo College
Prof. De Pakan, Professor of ancient monuments, Lenin Institute
Mr. M. Ahmad Colad, Manager of general excavations and discoveries, Zitcomen Research Association
Major Cottor/Kolotov, Head of Stalin University
So these seven experts after eight months of research come to the conclusion that this plate was of the wood used in making Noah's Ark and that the Prophet Noah had put this plate on his Ark for the safety of the Ark and for receiving favor of God.
In the center of the plate, there is a drawing of a palm shape on which some words of ancient Saamaani language are written. Mr. N. F. Max, Expert, Ancient Languages, Britain (Manchester), has translated the words written on the wooden plate, in English as follows:
"O my Lord, my helper! Keep my hand with mercy and with your Holy Bodies, Mohammed, Alia, Fatima, Shabbar (Hassan) , and Shabbir (Hussain). They are all biggest and honorable."
The world established for them Help me by their names. You can return to right."
