372. Did Prophet Nooh have knowledge of the hidden.

In verse (71:27) of the Quran we find Prophet Nooh as uttering ‘Letting these people survive will render the people being misled by them, and they will give birth to sinners’. Nobody can predict that not even one person will reform to become virtuous. Even messengers of Allah cannot declare without being directed by the Creator. Things like behaviour of people in the future, is known to the Creator alone hence a doubt arises as to how Prophet Nooh can predict such things about these people coming into the fold of believers. This is a justified doubt, but Prophet Nooh said these words in the direction of the Almighty.

Verse (11:36) of the Quran says ‘No one from your people will become a believer. Hence Prophet Nooh declared the words as guided by the Almighty and there is no any contradiction
