The Prophet Nuh and the Flood in the Qur'an

Nuh's Flood is mentioned in many verses of the Qur'an. Below are found the verse arranged according to the sequence of events;

In the Qur'an, it is clearly shown that it was not the whole world, but only Nuh's people who were destroyed. Just as Hud was sent only to 'Ad (Surah Hud: 50), Salih was sent to Thamud (Surah Hud: 61) and all the other prophet prior to Muhammad were sent only to their own peoples, Nuh was sent only to his people and the flood caused only Nuh's people to disappear;

We sent Nuh to his people (with a mission): "I have come to you with a Clear Warning: That ye serve none but Allah: Verily I do fear for you the penalty of a grievous day." (Surah Hud: 25-26)

Those who perished were people who totally disregarded Prophet Nuh's proclamation of the message and persisted on rebellion. Relevant verses are explicit enough to leave no room for discussion:

But they rejected him, and We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark: but We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our signs. They were indeed a blind people! (Surat al-Araf: 64)

We saved him and those who adhered to him. By Our mercy, and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our signs and did not believe. (Surat al-Araf: 72)

The Prophet Nuh's Inviting His People to the Religion of truth

We sent Nuh to his people. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day!" (Surat al-Araf: 59)

(Nuh "I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust: So fear Allah, and obey me. No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds: So fear Allah, and obey me." (Surat ash-Shuara: 107-110)

(Further, We sent a long line of prophets for your instruction). We sent Nuh to his people: He said, "O my people! worship Allah! Ye have no other god but Him. Will ye not fear (Him)?" (Surat al-Mumenoon: 23)

The Prophet Nuh's Warning His People Against the Punishment of Allah

We sent Nuh to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty." (Surah Nuh: 1)

(Nuh "But soon will ye know who it is on whom will descend a penalty that will cover them with shame - on whom will be unloosed a penalty lasting" (Surah Hud: 39)

(Nuh "That ye serve none but Allah: Verily I do fear for you the penalty of a grievous day." (Surah Hud: 26)

Denial of Nuh's People

The leaders of his people said: "Ah! we see thee evidently wandering (in mind)." (Surat al-Araf: 60)

They said: "O Nuh! thou hast disputed with us, and (much) hast thou prolonged the dispute with us: now bring upon us what thou threatenest us with, if thou speakest the truth!?" (Surah Hud: 32)

Forthwith he (starts) constructing the Ark: Every time that the chiefs of his people passed by him, they threw ridicule on him. He said: "If ye ridicule us now, we (in our turn) can look down on you with ridicule likewise!" (Surah Hud: 38)

The chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "He is no more than a man like yourselves: his wish is to assert his superiority over you: if Allah had wished (to send messengers), He could have sent down angels; never did we hear such a thing (as he says), among our ancestors of old." (And some said): "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time." (Surat al-Mumenoon: 24-25)

Before them the People of Nuh rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out. (Surat al-Qamar: 9)

Their Disregard of Those Who Followed the prophet Nuh

But the chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "We see (in) thee nothing but a man like ourselves: Nor do we see that any follow thee but the meanest among us, in judgment immature: Nor do we see in you (all) any merit above us: in fact we think ye are liars!" (Surah Hud: 27)

They said: "Shall we believe in thee when it is the meanest that follow thee?" He said: "And what do I know as to what they do? Their account is only with my Lord, if ye could (but) understand. I am not one to drive away those who believe. I am sent only to warn plainly in public." (Surat ash-Shuara: 111-115)

Allah's Reminding Nuh Not to Grieve

It was revealed to Nuh: "None of thy people will believe except those who have believed already! So grieve no longer over their (evil) deeds." (Surah Hud, 36)

Prayers of the prophet Nuh

(Nuh "Judge Thou, then, between me and them openly, and deliver me and those of the Believers who are with me." (Surat ash-Shuara: 118)

Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!" (Surat al-Qamar: 10)

(Nuh He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day: But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right)." (Surah Nuh: 5-6)

(Nuh) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood!" (Surat al-Mumenoon: 26)

(In the days of old), Nuh cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer. (Surat as-Saaffat: 75)

The Construction of the Ark

But construct an Ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration, and address Me no (further) on behalf of those who are in sin: for they are about to be overwhelmed (in the Flood). (Surah Hud: 37)

The Destruction of the prophet Nuh's People by Drowning

But they rejected him, and We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark: but We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our signs. They were indeed a blind people! (Surat al-Araf: 64)

Thereafter We drowned those who remained behind. (Surat ash-Shuara: 120)

We (once) sent Nuh to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand years less fifty: but the Deluge overwhelmed them while they (persisted in) sin. (Surat al-Ankaboot: 14)

We saved him and those who adhered to him. By Our mercy, and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our signs and did not believe. (Surat al-Araf: 72)

The Destruction of the Prophet Nuh's "Son"

The Qur'an relates a dialogue between Nuh and his son, in the early stages of the Flood;

So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Nuh called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): "O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!" The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water." Nuh said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy!" And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood. (Surah Hud: 42-43)

Saving the Believers from the Flood

So We delivered him and those with him, in the Ark filled (with all creatures). (Surat ash-Shuara: 119)

But We saved him and the companions of the Ark, and We made the (Ark) a Sign for all peoples! (Surat al-Ankaboot: 15)

The Physical Nature of the Flood

So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth. And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed. But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre: (Surat al-Qamar: 11-13)

At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth - and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.

So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Nuh called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): "O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!"(Surah Hud: 40-42)

So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family- except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong-doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood)." (Surat al-Mumenoon: 27)

The Resting of the Ark on a High Place

Then the word went forth: "O earth! swallow up thy water, and O sky! Withhold (thy rain)!" and the water abated, and the matter was ended. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: "Away with those who do wrong!" (Surah Hud: 44)

The Instructional Aspect of the Flood Incident

We, when the water (of Nuh's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark), That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance. (Surat al-Haaqqa: 11-12)

Allah's Praise of the Prophet Nuh

Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations! Thus indeed do we reward those who do right. For he was one of our believing Servants. (Surat as-Saaffat: 79-81)

In order to understand "Why did Muhammad PBUH go to Mount Hira?" one needs to know the conditions and situation at which He lived.

To have an idea about the conditions and situation of that time just think about this "People buried their first-born girls while they (girl babies) were alive just after they are born". Can you imagine this? And doing so was known as a heroic act. And too many other things. They were simply wilder than animals.

Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to the Mount Hira and look for a solution for this problem. He used to go there for about 2 years after which the Archangel Gabriel came to him and brought the first revelation of the Holy Qur'an which is as follows:

"

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

[96.1] Read (Prophet Muhammad) in the Name of your Lordwho created,

[96.2] created the human from a (blood) clot.

[96.3] Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous,

[96.4] who taught by the pen,

[96.5] taught the human what he did not know." (Qur'an 96:1-5)

In conclusion, he went there to think about a solution for the problems of that time...

Sincerely

The last prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (May peace be upon him) used to visit Cave Hira and spend even weeks in solitude and meditation. It was there that the Arch Angel Hazrat Gabriel (AS) first came to him and revealed the first verses of the last heavenly Book the Qur'an: Translation:

Read in the name of thy Lord Who created; created man from a clot (of congealed blood): Read and thy Lord is most Bountiful, Who taught (the use of) the pen, taught man that which he knew not. (Quran, 96:1-5)

He was commanded by Almighty God to proclaim ONENESS of Almighty God.

The Prophesy of Mohammad (PBUH) in Parsi Scriptures. This prophesy is purely propaganda of Muslims that have made up the same story for every religion and say Muhammad has been mentioned. Zend Avesta is the holy book of Zartosht & nothing but invasion by Arabs & Turks exist which mentions how blood thirsty & greedy these people are.

1. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Zend Avesta

   It is mentioned in Zend Avesta FarvardinYasht chapter 28 verse 129

   (Sacred Books of the East, volume 23, Zend Avesta Part II pg. 220):

This is actually what is written in the Zend Avesta, not the propaganda Arabs & Muslims put out about Zoroastrian holy book.

"And rule and sovereignty come to slaves, such as the Turk and non-Turanian of the army, and are turbulent as among the mountaineers; and the Chini, the Kavuli, the Softi, the Ruman, and the white-clothed Karmak then attain sovereignty in my countries of Iran, and their will and pleasure will become current in the world.

"'The sovereignty will come from those leather-belted ones and Arabs and Rumans to them, and they will be so misgoverning that when they kill a righteous man who is virtuous and a fly, it is all one in their eyes.

"'And the security, fame, and prosperity, the country and families, the wealth and handiwork, the streams, rivers, and springs of Iran, and of those of the good religion, come to those non-Iranians; and the army and standards of the frontiers come to them, and a rule with a craving for wrath advances in the world.

"'And their eyes of avarice are not sated with wealth, and they form hoards of the world's wealth, and conceal them underground; and through wickedness they commit sodomy, hold much intercourse with menstruous women, and practice many unnatural lusts.

Also Arabs & Muslims talk about Dasatir a Zoroastrian holy book? Dasatir is a book written by a Muslim, it is a fantasy book that has nothing to do with any Zoroastrian or religion of Zoroastrians, not now or ever. It is a fantasy book to promote Islam to Zoroastrians that never accepted Islam, remember Iranians fought Arabs for over 23 years before being forced into Islam & it took another 700 years to force the masses into accepting Islam by force of Taxation, Humiliation, lack of rights against Muslims, destruction of temples, religious bigotry, not permitted to get educated & many other tactics to get people to accept Islam.

The question doesn't make sense but i think you mean to say "Did prophet mohammed(saw) have a shadow".

Answer
NO. Mohammed(saw) didn't have a shadow
