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. | According to most Shi'a scholars and hadiths from the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]], his invitation and prophethood was worldwide.<ref>Ṭabāṭabāʾī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 10, p. 102 and 260.</ref> Some Sunni scholars believe that his invitation was not worldwide and he (a) was chosen only for his people.

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).<ref>Ṭabāṭabāʾī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 10, p. 210-219.</ref> This similarity has been acknowledged by other exegetes and scholars as well.<ref>Buyūmī Mihrān, ''Barrasī-yi tārīkhī-yi qiṣaṣ Qurʾān'', vol. 4, p. 9-16.</ref> | |||

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. | 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.
