 According to most Shi'a scholars and hadiths from the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]], his invitation and prophethood was worldwide. Some Sunni scholars believe that his invitation was not worldwide and he (a) was chosen only for his people. Noah (a) lived in [[Palestine]], [[Syria]], and [[Iraq]] and was chosen for Chaldea and Assyria.
-[[Prophethood]] of Noah (a) is very similar to the prophethood of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. Similar to him, at the beginning of his prophethood, Prophet Muhammad (s) invited people to monotheism in secret. According to the glorious Qur'an, another similarity between them was their day and night efforts for inviting people to worship God and their passion for it. They were both very patient and tolerant against excessive harassment of their people. Additionally, in the interpretation of verses 36 to 49 of Sura Noah (a), [['Allama Tabataba'i]] explained disbelievers arguments for rejecting Noah's (a) invitation and mentioned the similarity between Noah's (a) arguments against them with prophet Muhammad's (s) arguments against disbelievers of his time.
+When interpreting the verses 19 to 35 of sura Hud, [[Allama Tabataba'i]] has referred to the similarities of the warnings and arguments of Noah (a) with his people with those of Prophet Muhammad (s) with pagans of his time through mentioning some of the warnings by Noah (such as warnings against polytheism and idolatry) and the counterarguments by pagans (such as the prophet being a human like them, accusing the prophet of lying) and Noah's response (not asking for a reward for his guidance and prophethood). Tabataba'i believes that since the arguments of both prophets (a) have been similar, God has annexed the story of Prophet Muhammad (s) and accusations against him by the pagans to the story of Noah (a). This similarity has been acknowledged by other exegetes and scholars as well.

 In verse 14 of [[Sura al-'Ankabut]]{{enote|Certainly We sent Noah to his people, and he remained with them for thousand-less-fifty years. Then the flood overtook them while they were wrongdoers. (Qur'an 29:14)}}, the glorious Qur'an mentions that Noah (a) was inviting his people for 950 years before flood, but it did not mention his whole lifespan. So the length of Noah's (a) life is one of the disputed issues in Noah's (a) life.
 [[Ni'mat Allah al-Jaza'iri]] believes that according to the most of the authentic Shi'a reports, Noah (a) lived 2500 years. [['Allama Tabataba'i]] believed that according to the explicit text of the Qur'an about Noah's (a) invite for 950 years before [[Flood of Noah|the flood]], Noah (a) had a very long life; and, contrary to what some sources mentioned, it was neither a miracle, nor their years were different from the present years. He continues saying that it seems that Noah (a) lived a naturally long life, and no reason for the impossibility of having a long life is mentioned so far.
+Long life, delay in prosperity for the believers, elimination of all the pagans and universality of Noah's (a) call are some of the similarities between him and [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]] which have been mentioned in some hadiths. Some scholars have referred to Noah's long life to argue that Imam al-Mahdi's (a) long life is in fact something natural.
