ABSTRACT

THIS chapter records the prophetic experience of Noah, and is therefore rightly named. The Noah of these revelations, however, is no

. other than the Muhammad of lIIakkah. The words ascribed to him are those constantly used by Muhammad. This Noah was a warner,· so was Muhammad. His people rejected him, refused to leave the worship of their idols, Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Yauk, and Kasr, and plotted against him. The Quraish rejected Muhammad, refused to leave Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Yauk, and Nasr, and devised. a dangerous pint against their prophet. We bave the reader to make his own inferences from the facts thus stated, referring him for further instances of a like character to chapter xi. Surely a counterfeit of prophecy like this must have been inspired by a spirit different from that which moved holy men of old.
