Although the chapter is named after Prophet Nuh, it does not tell his entire story. What we glean from this chapter is that Allah instructs him to warn his people with the message that resonates throughout the Qur’an – Submit to Divinity and follow Divine guidance to achieve your full potential.
It urges them to forgiveness and reflection on creation.
The chapter then narrates Prophet Nuh’s complaints about his people and ends with a dua for forgiveness.
