His full lifetime was one thousand two hundred and forty years. There are other statements in this regard but this opinion has predominantly been described as the most authentic. As-Saawi commentary on Juz 8 – footnote on Jalalain Page 134 The propagation of Sayyidunā Nūḥ • ‘He said, “O my people! I am indeed a herald of clear warnings to you. That you must worship Allāĥ and fear him, and obey me. He will forgive you some of your sins, and give you respite up to an appointed term; indeed the promise of Allāĥ cannot be averted when it arrives; if only you knew.’ Surah Nūḥ (71:2-4) • ‘I fear for you, if you worship other than Him, the punishment of the Great Day- that (is on) the day of judgement.’ Al-Jalalain Surah Al A’raaf Page 135 • “And I do not seek any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord of the creation.” Surah Shu’araa (26: 109) • “I then called them openly. Then I also told them publicly and also spoke to them softly in private.” Surah Nūḥ (71: 8-9) The reaction of the nation upon the propagation of Sayyidunā Nūḥ • ‘He said, “My Lord! I invited my people night and day. So for them, my calling them only increased their fleeing away. And whenever I called them, so that You may forgive them, they always thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves with their clothes, and remained stubborn and were extremely haughty.’ Surah Nūḥ (71: 5-7) • Even though so many years had been spent propagating; only a small group of believers could be seen. Three of Sayyidunā Nūḥ’s sons, Sām, Ḥām and Yaafiš along with their wives were believers. One of Sayyidunā Nūḥ’s wives and seventy men and women were from the faithful. These believers were those who rode on the ark along with Sayyidunā Nūḥ ٰ There were seventy eight people altogether . َعلی َن ِب ِّی َنا َو َع َل ی ِہ ال َّص ََلۃُ َوال َّس ََل ُم ٰ on the ship. There َعلی َن ِب ِّی َنا َو َع َل ی ِہ ال َّص ََلۃُ َوال َّس ََل ُم including Sayyidunā Nūḥ was an equal amount of men and women on the ark. Reasons they put forward for their disbelief • ‘The chiefs of his people, who were disbelievers, said, “We see that you are a human being like us.” Surah Hud (11:27) • ‘So the disbelieving chiefs of his nation said, “He is just a human َع َّز َو َج َّل like you, he wishes to become your leader. And had Allāĥ willed, He would have sent down Angels. We did not hear this in the case of our forefathers.’ Surah Al Mu’minoon (23:24) • ‘And we do not see anyone following you except the lowliest among us, without insight.’ Surah Hud (11:27) • ‘They said, “Shall we believe in you, whereas the abject people are with you?” Surah Ash Shu’araa (26:111) • ‘And we do not find any merit in you above us.’ Surah Hud (11:27) Response of Sayyiduna Nuh to the nation’s reasons • ‘And are you surprised that an advice came to you from your Lord through a man amongst you, so that he may warn you and that you may fear, and so that there may be mercy upon you.’ Surah Al A’raaf (7:63) • ‘And I am not going to repel the Muslims. Indeed they will meet their Lord, but I find you people completely ignorant.’ Surah Hud (11:29) The Advice of Sayyiduna Nuh • ‘I therefore told them, “Seek forgiveness from your Lord; He is indeed Most Forgiving. He will send down abundant rain for you from the sky. And will aid you with wealth and sons, and will create gardens for you and cause rivers to flow for you. What is the matter with you, that you do not desire honour from Allāĥ? Surah Nūḥ (71:10-13) ٰ َر ِض َي ّٰللاُ َت َعاٰلی It is narrated from Sayyidunā Rabī’ Bin Ṣabiḥ that a person came to Sayyidunā Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī • ٰ said, ‘Do Istighfār (seek َر ِض َي ّٰللاُ َت َعاٰلی َع ن ُہ and complained of drought.

Sayyidunā Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī َع َّز َو َج َّل Almighty Istighfār. Another man complained of the gardens becoming dry, the fruits becoming scarce and decrease ٰ told َر ِض َي ّٰللاُ َت َعاٰلی َع ن ُہ in cultivation from the Earth and requested supplications. Sayyidunā Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī him to do Istighfār as well. The people who were present stated, ‘The people’s grievances were diverse but you gave them the same action (to carry out).’ ٰ ٰ ٰ had َعلی َن ِب ِّی َنا َو َع َل ی ِہ ال َّص ََل ُۃ َوال َّس ََل ُم replied, ‘Sayyidunā Nūḥ َر ِض َي ّٰللاُ َت َعالی َعن ُہ Sayyidunā Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī • commanded his nation to do Istighfār for the solution to all their difficulties.’ Sayyidunā Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī ٰ for َع َّز َو َج َّل was proving that this action (of seeking the forgiveness of the Almighty َر ِض َي ّٰللاُ َت َعاٰلی َع ن ُہ freedom from complexities) is proven in the Holy Qurān. At-Tafseer Al-Kabeer The ignorance of this nation • ‘The leaders of his people said, “Indeed we see you in open error.” Surah Al A’raaf (7:60) • ‘He said, “O my people! There is no straying in me - I am in fact a Noble Messenger from the َع َّز َو َج َّل Lord of the creation. I convey to you the messages of my Lord and I know from Allāĥ what you do not know.” Surah Al A’raaf (7:61-62) • The nation disgracefully said to Sayyiduna Nuh and the believers, “Moreover, we consider you liars.” Surah Hud (11:27) • “He is not but an insane man, therefore wait for some time.” Surah Al Mu-minun (23:25) • “Before these, the people of Nūḥ denied and they belied Our bondman and said, “He is a madman” and rebuffed.” Surah Al Qamar (54:9) ٰ ”.if you do not desist you will surely be stoned , َعلی َن ِب ِّی َنا َو َع َل ی ِہ ال َّص ََلۃُ َوال َّس ََل ُم They said, “O Nūḥ • • Surah Ash Shua’ara (26: 116) The perseverance of Sayyiduna Nuh in the face of ignorance and terror Ibn Asākirٰ narrated from Sayyidunā Ibn Abbās • that Sayyidunā Nūḥ’s nation َر ِض َي ّٰللاُ َت َعاٰلی َع ن ُہ struck him to the extent that they caused ٰ to be َعلی َن ِب ِّی َنا َو َع َل ی ِہ ال َّص ََل ُۃ َوال َّس ََل ُم Sayyidunā Nūḥ severely wounded.

Ali Dayan Hasan, senior South Asia researcher On May 28, 2010, extremist Islamist militants attacked two Ahmadiyya mosques in the central Pakistani city of Lahore with guns, grenades, and suicide bombs, killing 94 people and injuring well over a hundred. Twenty-seven people were killed at the Baitul Nur Mosque in the Model Town area of Lahore; 67 were killed at the Darul Zikr mosque in the suburb of Garhi Shahu. The Punjabi Taliban, a local affiliate of the Pakistani Taliban, called the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility. On the night of May 31, unidentified gunmen attacked the Intensive Care Unit of Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital, where victims and one of the alleged attackers in Friday's attacks were under treatment, sparking a shootout in which at least a further 12 people, mostly police officers and hospital staff, were killed. The assailants succeeded in escaping. “The mosque attacks and the subsequent attack on the hospital, amid rising sectarian violence, underscore the vulnerability of the Ahmadi community,” said Ali Dayan Hasan, senior South Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch.

Some have argued this to reflect the growing conservative outlook of Indonesians. While such a view may be naïve, there could be some reason for concern. Controversies Surrounding the Ahmadiyyah Sect THE AHMADIYAH sect was founded in1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, a preacher from the village of Qadian in Punjab, India. The followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad are commonly known as the Ahmadiyyahs or Qadianis. The main controversy surrounding the Ahmadiyyah is Ghulam Ahmad's claim that he was the Imam Mahdi (Messiah) whose advent was foretold by Prophet Muhammad and had come to save the world. Later, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad declared himself as a prophet and was denounced by mainstream Muslims as heretical. Other aspects, such as the Ahmadiyyah’s belief that the leadership of the Muslims would transfer to ‘Caliphs’, seen as successors to Ghulam Ahmad, were viewed controversial by mainstream Muslims.

    The True Meaning of Khatame-Nabbuwat (Finality of Prophethood) The concluding address delivered by Hazrat Khalifatul Massih IV at the final session of the Annual Convention of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam at Islamabad (Tilford), England on April 7, 1985. This is an English translation of the above address. The original address was in Urdu titled Irfane Khatame-Nabbuwat. We present this at our own responsibility. Any shortcomings in this translation are ours. We apologize for them. After saying Tashud and Ta’wwoz, Hazur recited Sura Fateha followed by recitation of the following verses of The Holy Quran “Ma Kana Muhammadun… bukra taon wa aseela.” “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah and The Seal of the Prophets; and Allah has full knowledge of all things. O ye who believe, remember Allah with much remembrance; and glorify Him morning and evening.” (Al-Ahzab CH. 33 V. 41-43). A Baseless and Vile Allegation In the so-called ‘white paper‘ of the government of Pakistan, a most painful, vile and baseless allegation has been made against the Promised Messiah (peace be on him). It states that the Promised Messiah (peace be on him) God forbid repudiated the verse of the Holy Quran containing the words ‘Khatamun-Nabbiyeen’ hence did not believe in the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) as ‘Khatamun-Nabbiyeen’ - The Seal of the Prophets. The followers of the Promised Messiah (peace be on him), Jamaat Ahmadiyya, also carry the same view. This obviously is a false and baseless accusation.
