Tafsīr Juz' Tabārak : Surat Nuh (Part 1) II Karim AbuZaid

How did Shirk begin in Earth?
In a hadith Ibn ‘Abbaas, said: “There were ten centuries between Adam and Noah, all living on Tawheed, and then disbelief slowly crept in".
How did it happen? Ibn ‘Abbaas says (Al Bukhaari), the descendants of Adam started to slowly lose their religion and began committing sins, but they still believed in tawheed ( the unity of Allah). Ignorance was spreading amongst them. And the righteous amongst them were few.
Shaytaan came to them and said, “When these righteous men pass away, you will have no one to remind you of Allah subhaana wa ta’aala and about ‘ibaadah. You will have no one to give you naseehah and advice. So how about, when they pass away, you erect some statues in their memorial to remind you about ‘ibaadah?” Because these righteous men used to give them naseehah and advice. They followed the advice of shaytaan, thinking that it was good advice. They erected these idols.
Then, shaytaan left them alone. Look at how patient he is with his plan. He left them until they forgot why these statues were built. Generation after generation came and the people forgot why these were erected. Shaytaan came to them and told them, “Why don’t you worship these statues?” And that is how shirk started.
Allah talks about these 5 idols in the Qur’an: wadd, suwa’, yaghuth, ya’ooq and nasr. (see 71:23) Ibn ‘Abbaas says that these were righteous men, whom the people of Nuh started to worship as their idols.
The First Messenger
Nuh was the first messenger of Allah to the people of the world. And this is mentioned in the authentic hadith of Shafa’a in [Al Bukhaari], "People will go to Nuh and tell him, “You are the first messenger of Allah to the people of the world.”
