Muslim Fathers in the Quran: Noah
This post is part I of the series about Muslim Fathers mentioned in the Quran. Specifically, those verses are selected where interaction of Muslim Fathers with their kids is mentioned. Translation is by T. B. Irving (http://isgkc.org/translat.htm)
Noah (Nuh) peace be upon him
(Hud) 11:41-43
He said: "Board her [the Ark]: "in the name of God is her sailing and her mooring; my Lord is so Forgiving, Merciful!" She sailed on with them through waves that were like mountains. Noah called out to, his son who stood aloof by himself: "My dear son, sail away with us, and do not stay with the disbelievers." He said: "I'll take refuge on a mountain which will protect me from the water." He said: "Nothing is safe today from God's command except for someone who has been shown mercy." A wave swept in between them so he was one of those who were drowned.
(Hud) 11:45-47
Noah called upon his Lord and said: 'My Lord, my son belonged to my own family, while Your promise is true, and You are the wisest Judge!" He said: "Noah, he no longer belongs to your family: his behavior was dishonorable. Do not ask Me about something you have no knowledge about; I so caution you lest you become ignorant." He said: "My Lord, I take refuge with You from asking You something I have no knowledge about. If You do not forgive me and show me mercy, I may become a loser."
(As-Saaffat) 37:75-79
Noah called out to Us, and how favored are those [like him] who respond! We saved him and his family from serious grief, and set his offspring up as survivors. We left [mention] of him among later men: "Peace be upon Noah throughout the Universe!"
