Enlightenment from the Calls of Abraham and Noah pbut
The Quran did not speak of a miracle brought by Noah or Abraham pbut to prove their honesty, because the miracle is support for the call of the prophets and not a proof of the validity of the call. Thus their call pbut is to return to the nature, [and] the nature of Allah does not need proof because it is the nature upon which Allah created the people. And it is the Truth, the worship of Allah alone, praising Him, sanctifying Him, and having the fine morals of which the human being was created upon their love, [this nature is] the coating of Allah, and none owns a better coating than Allah’s. A moth rushes towards the light, but once its optical sensors are damaged it resorts to the darkness. The same applies to the human: the prophets and messengers provide the overwhelming proof of Allah, and they lift the veils from the insight of the human being, then they let him choose whether to open his eyes and head towards the light, or close his eyes and let the veil down upon himself and recede into his shell in darkness, one [darkness] upon the other, ﴾They placed their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.﴿.[28]
And the greatest proof of the prophets’ honesty is their blessed journey and their kind morals, and out of the heart’s abundance come the words of the mouth.
However, in spite of this noble journey and the great miracles with which the prophets came, the people of Falsehood, especially Clerics of Misguidance, were not incapable of objection by spreading fallacies and satanic sophistries, after having coated the people with their own coating, which is that false coating with which they opposed the coating of Allah swt. Thus they created for themselves a fertile platform within the human society, so that it [this platform] would accept everything from them, and follow them in every matter, so that the asceticism of the prophets is madness, their miracles are magic and their wisdom is poetry.
