Tafsir of Verse 78

and left for him among the later folk

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:

In verses 78 and 79, it was said: وَتَرَ‌كْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِ‌ينَ سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ (And We left for him (a word of praise) among the later people, (that is): Salam be on Nuh (علیہ السلام) among [ the people on all the worlds.). It means that, in the sight of those who were born after Sayyidna Nuh (علیہ السلام) he was made so revered that they would continue praying for his peace and well-being right through the last day of the Qiyamah. As such, this is how it actually happened. All religions with attribution to Divine Scriptures subscribe to the mission of Sayyidna Nuh (علیہ السلام) as a prophet and hold him in great reverence. In addition to Muslims, even Jews and Christians regard him as being their spiritual leader.
