From amongst all of
theseProphets of Allah,

Quran (i n Surah Al-Ahzaab,

or Prophets ofgreat
determination. They are Nuh

Eesa and Muhammad j;.
We shall learn about the life
of Muhamm ad in detail in a
dedicated subject in the Stem
Series. For now, we'll take a
closer look at the other four
Prophets menti oned, as well as
the Prophet Adam '-ZfJ; the first
Prophet of Alla h. Take a look at

the following symbols to find out what to expect along
your way.
Beforeyou begin any journey, you need to know where
you aregoing and whyyou are going there. With all
the storiesin this book, your aimis broken into three
parts. You must be able to readthe storyyourself
summarizethe main eventsand place them in the

in your way.
Oneof the other thingsyou need to do beforeany

Now for some reasoning. Answer the three questions below.
1. Why was the ship safe?
2. Why did the ship come down to the ground?
3. Why was the flood such a big test?
50
Every journey, no matter how long, must come to an end. You have come to the end of
your j ourney through the life of Prophet Nuh ~ \ . One of the ways you can measureyour
success is through seeing how well you did in clearing the obstacl es that came in your path.
Suggested answers to each chapter are offered in the pages that foll ow. You are encouraged
to haveyour progressmarked.
However, there is more to measuring your success than just clearing the obstacl es. One of
the most valu able measures is your own thoughts on what you have learnt and enjoyed
most. Hopefully, you will take away a treasure chest of lessons from this wonderful and
important story, and continue learning more about it in the future. Thi s chapter offers you
the chance to judge for yoursel f what wasyour most valuable farewell mark.
51
J1t theend of a journey, it 's always nice 10 pause and think over what
you can most benefit from. Think hard about what were the most
valuable lessonsyou Ieamt during thi s joumey. Take a moment to think
again and select one lesson, idea or thought that you will take away
from your experience.. .
