Transliteration:( Summaa inneee a'lantu lahum wa asrartu lahum israaraa )
"And then I preached to them publicly and spoke to them privately."
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 ).
