Quran/Tafsir Surah Nuh;Benefit #2

Today I learned about what Nuh said to his people and how the people took it. Nuh would call to his people night and day, in public and in private but the more he called to them, the more they avoided him. The people would cover themselves in their garments and cover their ears with their hands to try to ignore whatever was being said to them from Nuh. Nuh would tell his people to repent to Allah and ask Him for forgiveness and that Allah will except their repentence and increase them in wealth, children, blessings, and provisions for them, but they still ignored him out of pride. Nuh had a very long patience with his people and waited for them to repent for nine hundred and fifty years, even though no one did. From reading these ayaats I also learned that this surah is a recommended surah to read whenever it rains.
