[007:069] "Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you? call in remembrance that He made you inheritors after the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations. Call in remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from God: that so ye may prosper."The people of Noah's doom was a time-mark for a Divine Purpose only known to Allah Almighty. Their doom was to happen so that other Prophets and people were to emerge tall among all of the nations.
[037:077] We arranged it so that only his progeny survived (the flood).This Noble Verse does not talk about the entire globe being covered with water. It only talked about the followers of Noah and the people of Noah:
[037:075] Earlier, Nooh called Us and We responded. We are simply the Best of those who respond.
[037:076] We rescued him and his household from an awful torture.
[037:077] We arranged it so that only his progeny ذريته survived (the flood).
[037:078] And among the generations to follow, We let his name be honored and revered.
[037:079] Peace (and honor) is for ‘Nooh’ in the entire universe among all people في العالمين!
[037:080] This is really how We reward the righteous ones!Also,
seed ذريته of Noah here includes the Prophets that will come after him from the future generations:
6:84 ووهبنا له اسحاق ويعقوب كلا هدينا ونوحا هدينا من قبل ومن ذريته داوود وسليمان وايوب ويوسف وموسى وهارون وكذلك نجزي المحسنين
[006:084] We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: thus do We reward those who do good:The Muslims are the seed of Noah:
6:133 وربك الغني ذو الرحمة ان يشا يذهبكم ويستخلف من بعدكم مايشاء كما انشاكم من ذرية قوم اخرين
[006:133] Thy Lord is self-sufficient, full of Mercy: if it were His will, He could destroy you, and in your place appoint whom He will as your successors, even as He raised you up from the posterity of other people.Before Islam, the Arabs were on the edge of getting doomed by Allah Almighty. Islam saved them. When they succeeded in accepting and embracing Islam, they were saved:
3:103 واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعا ولاتفرقوا واذكروا نعمة الله عليكم اذ كنتم اعداء فالف بين قلوبكم فاصبحتم بنعمته اخوانا وكنتم على شفا حفرة من النار فانقذكم منها كذلك يبين الله لكم اياته لعلكم تهتدون
[003:103] Cling firmly to the rope of Allah, all of you together (as a single entity)! Do not fall into disunity. Remember the favors of Allah upon you, when you were each other’s enemy? He brought your hearts together; and so by His grace you became (like) brothers. You were (perched precariously) at the brink of a fire filled abyss على شفا حفرة من النار. But He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes the revelations clear to you. Perhaps you will find the right path.Bloodline of Covenants:Three times was
وتركنا عليه في الاخرين "And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times" mentioned throughout the Glorious Quran. It was mentioned for:
1- Noah in Noble Verse 37:78 above.
2- Ishmael and his future Covenant after Isaac's Covenant comes to pass:
https://www.answering-christianity.com/isaac_and_ishmael.htm3- Ilyaas when he warned his people to stop worshiping the pagan god and idol, Baal.
[037:102] Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
[037:103] So when they had both submitted their wills (to God), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
[037:104] We called out to him "O Abraham!
[037:105] "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
[037:106] For this was obviously a trial-
[037:107] And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
[037:108]
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:37:102 فلما بلغ معه السعي قال يابني اني ارى في المنام اني اذبحك فانظر ماذا ترى قال ياابت افعل ماتؤمر ستجدني ان شاء الله من الصابرين
37:103 فلما اسلما وتله للجبين
37:104 وناديناه ان ياابراهيم
37:105 قد صدقت الرؤيا انا كذلك نجزي المحسنين
37:106 ان هذا لهو البلاء المبين
37:107 وفديناه بذبح عظيم
37:108 وتركنا عليه في الاخرين
Ishmael was true to his promise that he made to his father in Noble Verse
37:102 above:
[019:054] Also mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what he promised صادق الوعد, and he was an apostle (and) a prophet.[037:123] So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
[037:124] Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (God)?
[037:125] "Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,-
[037:126] "God, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
[037:127] But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
[037:128] Except the sincere and devoted Servants of God (among them).
[037:129]
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:37:123 وان الياس لمن المرسلين
37:124 اذ قال لقومه الا تتقون
37:125 اتدعون بعلا وتذرون احسن الخالقين
37:126 الله ربكم ورب ابائكم الاولين
37:127 فكذبوه فانهم لمحضرون
37:128 الا عباد الله المخلصين
37:129 وتركنا عليه في الاخرين
