21-76
And Nuh, when he prayed (to Us) earlier, We responded to him and saved him and his followers from the great distress.
Mention is made of Prophets who were kings and others who suffered a lot. The earlier ones exhibited gratitude and later were patient, but all were helped by Allah (SWT) against their enemies. For details see word Nos: Nuh (PBH) 638. Dawood and Sulaiman (PBT) 345, Iyub (PBH) 809, Yunus (PBH) 810, Zakaryya (PBH) 643 and Maryam (PBH) 318. This community of Prophets was a single community i.e. they came with a common message indicating that there was only one religion right from Adam (PBH) to Muhammed (PBH) and that was ‘Islam’ but their followers divided and distorted it. Therefore the striving of, one who believes in ‘Islam’ and does good work in accordance with the final Divine book, the Quran, revealed to the last Prophet Muhammed (PBH), will be accepted.
