Juz by Juz: Prophet Nuh and His People

Juz by Juz: Prophet Nuh and His People is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children tell how Prophet Nuh (AS) called his people to Allah, and share some of the easiest good deeds a child can do.

After Prophet Adam, people worshipped Allah for a long time. But Shaytan whispered to them, and they stopped. So Allah sent Prophet Nuh. He called his people for many, many years, openly and then quietly, knocking on their doors one by one. They put their fingers in their ears and pulled their clothes over their heads so they would not have to see or hear him. Nuh told them to ask Allah for forgiveness, but they would not.

The Sheikh teaches that one of Allah's names means the One who covers our mistakes, as a hat covers our head, and that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked Allah for forgiveness more than seventy times a day.

Before he died, Nuh gave his sons his most important advice: La ilaha illallah. If the heavens and the earth were put on one side of a scale and La ilaha illallah on the other, La ilaha illallah would be heavier.

Then come two gifts for children. Saying SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi plants a palm tree in Jannah. And saying it a hundred times a day wipes away our mistakes, even if they were as many as the foam on the sea.

The children draw a hat and a tree in Jannah, and answer a quiz about where the Prophet ﷺ is buried, the prophet who healed the sick and the cave where the Prophet ﷺ first met Jibreel.
