Question:
He asks: Is it true that Noah (peace be upon him) lost hope in his people, and therefore invoked a curse upon them?
Answer:
Strange. Allah the Exalted revealed to him:[Hud 11:36] Do you say he lost hope? That means he did not lose hope. It would not be true that what was revealed to him—that none of his people would believe except those who had already believed—was the case. Yes.
