Did Noah (pbuh) show any miracles to his people before the flood?
A Brief Description of the Question:
Did Noah (pbuh) show any miracles to his people before the flood?
The Answer:
In verses or hadiths, we could not find any information about what kind of miracles Noah (PBUH) had shown. However, the verse given below indicates that Noah (PBUH) had a miracle in his hand:
He said: "O my people! see ye if (it be that) I have a Clear Sign(Bayyina) from my Lord and that He hath sent Mercy unto me from His own Presence, but that the Mercy hath been obscured from your sight? Shall we compel you to accept it when ye are averse to it? (Hud 11/28)
The word ‘’Bayyina" (clear sign) mentioned in the verse means evidence, miracle, document. There are some people who say that this miracle is the deluge. This meaning might only be inferred if Noah (pbuh) said those words after the deluge. Therefore, we do not think that this view is accurate. According to another view, the word "Bayyina" refers to a miracle. (Ibn Ashur, the interpretation of the verse)
Although it is not specified what this miracle is, there is no doubt that it is a wonderful document which every prophet must possess.
This miracle can also consist of the pages given to him.
He said: "O my people! No wandering is there in my (mind): on the contrary I am an messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds! "I but fulfil towards you the duties of my Lord's mission: sincere is my advice to you and I know from Allah something that ye know not. "Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you― so that ye may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?" (al-Araf ,7/61-62-63)
The expression of the verses supports this view.
