🔸The beginning of the story🔸

▪️He was sent after his people began
practicing Shirk (polytheism). Their condition deteriorated steadily and they forgot the fundamentals of their faith that were passed down to them by their forefathers who upheld the creed of Islam.
God, the Exalted, says:
💎”Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], “Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment.” (Qur’an 71:1)

▪️They worshipped five idols named, Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya’uq and Nasr.
Allah, the Exalted, clarifies their names in the Qur’an saying:
💎”And they said, ‘Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa’ or Yaghuth and Ya’uq and Nasr.” (Qur’an 71:23)

Ibn Abbass, a close companion of the Prophet Muhammad said:
📨”The names (of the idols) formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people to prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names. The people did so, but the idols were not worshipped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshipping them.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Prophetic Commentary on the Qur’an).
