Age of Nuh

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarokaatuh,
Thank you brother AJZHyder for posting the link to topicsfromquran.wordpress.com that provides logical explanation based on related Ayas answering my question & request for help. Jazakallah khair!

Just other things I found from the Aya that the explanation from Aijaz make more sense to me that also mentioned by JonP in the earlier discussion (2014):

Interesting to note that it is the only time where a period related to a Prophet life/teachings is stated in the Qur'an. Why there is no mention of other prophets (Adam, Ibraheem, Musa etc) age?. This is despite the (later) existence of writings/hadiths mentioning the age of prophets that resemble Old Testament's/Taurat ages (are these hadiths that are categorized as Israiliyyat?). Also the fact that in the period the Aya was revealed in Madina (and in Arabia) there were already Jewish communities and Christians who believed on these prophets age including the age of prophet Noah of 950 years. Could it be that the mention of 1000 years except 50 years in the Quran is to somewhat appreciate the Jewish/Christian believe in their scriptures (the same prophet that Islam believe) but saying it in a wording that at the time can be interpreted/understood as agreeing to their believe but it is not actually saying the same thing (period of his teachings staying with the people instead)that muslims later can find out. This is in line with a hadith that Rasulullah pbuh urges the muslim to respect the people of the book's religion and their book but not to use it as a reference.

Other comments are appreciated.

salaam,
Iwan
