📖 Commentary of Verse 9 (71:9 Surah Nuh)

"And then I preached to them publicly and spoke to them privately."

✅ Exhausting Every Means of Preaching (17)

Hazrat Nuh (Alaihissalam) ensured that no method of guidance was left out. He:

  • Preached publicly – addressing large gatherings, making the truth known to all.

  • Spoke privately – reaching out to individuals, personally guiding them with wisdom.

This verse teaches us that:

  • Different people respond to different methods of preaching. Some may accept guidance in public settings, while others may be more receptive in private conversations.

  • A true caller to truth leaves no effort untried in guiding people toward Allah (اللَّهُ ).
