Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 17 Al-Isra, Ayat 3-3

ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوۡحٍ​ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَبۡدًا شَكُوۡرًا‏ ﴿17:3﴾

(17:3) You are the descendants of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah.4 He was truly a thankful servant.


Notes

4. That is, you are the descendants of Noah (peace be upon him) and his companions; therefore, you should behave in a manner as behooves such people. You should make Allah alone as your Guardian, for your ancestors escaped death from the flood only because they had made Allah their Guardian.
