Hud 43: His son said; “I will find refuge in a mountain that will protect me from the water.” (Noah said); “today, there is no one to protect you from Allah’s order other than the merciful Allah!” Then a wave came between them and he became among those who drowned.

Translation

His son said; “I will find refuge in a mountain that will protect me from the water.” (Noah said); “today, there is no one to protect you from Allah’s order other than the merciful Allah!” Then a wave came between them and he became among those who drowned.

Tafsir

Hadrat Noah's son said that instead of taking refuge in Allah, he would take refuge in a high mountain that would protect me because he did not believe in Allah. Noah 'alaihis-salâm' took pity on his son and tried to show him the truth, saying that today no one has anyone to protect him from the command of Allah, that is, from the punishment, except Allah, the Most Merciful.

Those who believed in Allah and the Hereafter and sought refuge in Allah boarded the ark. Noah's son, on the other hand, rebelled against his father and did not board the ark because he did not believe in Allah. During this conversation, a wave came between him and his son, who insisted on not getting on the ark, and washed the son of Noah into the waters. He became one of those who drowned like the rest. He goes to the Hereafter as a disbeliever.

What is said in the video

From Surah Hud we are reading verse 43. His son, it says, said: I will take refuge on a mountain that will protect me from the water. Noah: Today, from Allah's command, from His punishment, other than Allah, the Possessor of mercy, there is no one to protect, he said. A wave came between them, and so he too was among the drowned.

Instead of taking refuge in Allah, Noah's son, because he did not believe in Allah, said: I will take refuge on a high mountain that will protect me. Noah (peace be upon him), however, pitying his son, trying to show him the truths, said: Today, from Allah's command, that is, His punishment, other than Allah, the Possessor of mercy, there is no one who can protect anyone. Yes.

Whether in our most distressed moment, or in our most disastrous moment, or even in our most joyful and pleasant world of delight, the one we take refuge in is still our Lord. We have no other branch to take refuge in than Him.

Those who believed in Allah and the Hereafter, those who took refuge in Allah, boarded the ship.

Noah's son, however, rebelling against his father and not believing in Allah, did not board the ship. During this conversation, between him and his son, who insisted on not boarding the ship, a wave comes in, and it drowns the son of Noah (peace be upon him) in the waters as well. He too, like those left behind, is among the drowned. He passes on to the Hereafter as a disbeliever.
