Noah

He was Noah Ibn Lamik, Ibn Mitoshilkh, Ibn Enoch, Ibn Yard, Ibn Mahlabeel, Ibn Qinan, Ibn Anoush, Ibn Seth, Ibn Adam the Father of Mankind .According to the history of the People of the Book , (People of the Book refers to the Jews and Christians, so called by Allah because they received Revealed Books, the Taurat, Zabur, and Injeel. These names are translated Torah, Psalms, and Gospels, respectively, but the books that are extant are corrupt. Of the Revealed Books, only the Quran remains exactly as it was revealed) the period between the birth of Noah and the death of Adam was one hundred forty six years (According to Genesis 5, New Revised Standard version, Noah was born one hundred twenty six years after the death of Adam).Thn Abbas narrated that Prophet Muhammad said: The period between Adam and Noah was ten centuries. (According to Genesis 5, New Revised Standard version, Noah was born 1056 years after Adam s creation, or after he left the Garden of Eden. Thus, this hadith does not contradict the previous statement from the People of the Book, as it may first appear to do. The reader should keep in mind, however, that any statements or narratives taken from the People of the Book are not necessarily credible.)
