📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 81

"Surely he was amongst My most dignified, fully believing devotees [81]."

✅ [81] The Elevated Rank of Prophet Nuh

This verse emphasizes that Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام) was among Allah’s most distinguished servants, both in belief and in devotion. The word "believer" here can be interpreted in two ways:

  • Literally, as one who protects and supports other believers—Nuh (عليه السلام) provided spiritual refuge to the faithful.

  • Technically, as someone possessing a high degree of Iman (faith). In this context, prophets hold the loftiest ranks of belief, surpassing all others in sincerity, trust, and certainty in Allah.

This classification reminds us that faith exists in varying degrees, with prophets at the summit and ordinary believers occupying different levels beneath them, based on their sincerity and actions.
