Final answer:
Nuh (a.s.), known as Noah in Christian traditions, preached the concept of Tawhid, the oneness of God, to his people. Various Islamic sources suggest this preaching lasted for 950 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nuh (a.s.) is the Quranic name of Noah, a prophet known in both Christian and Islamic traditions. The Quran mentions that Nuh spent a significant amount of time preaching to his people and urging them to submit to the will of God, to practice Tawhid, which is the belief and affirmation of the oneness of God. Although the exact number of years is not explicitly given, various Islamic scholars and traditions suggest that Nuh preached to his people for 950 years, based on interpretations of the Quran (29:14).
The persistence of Nuh in calling his people to Tawhid is seen as a testament to his dedication and patience, and this story serves as an example of devotion in Islamic teachings. Despite the challenges and the long period of preaching, very few from his community followed his teachings. Eventually, as the story goes, the great flood took place and only Nuh and a small group of believers who were with him on an ark were saved.
