Are the prophets mentioned in Surat al-An'am, from verse 83 to 87, exclusively from the fathers of Noah or his descendants or his brothers, and must all prophets be from the lineage of Noah, or prior to him, or from his brothers?
Summary:
All human beings after the Flood, including the prophets, are descendants of Noah (peace be upon him). The Qur’an affirms that all humans are descendants of those whom Allah carried with Noah, and that Noah is the second father of humanity. Everyone on Earth today from the children of Adam belongs to the lineage of Noah’s three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
