Noah's prayer was not just against his people, but FOR the future of faith. By asking for the removal of those who would 'not beget except a wicked disbeliever' (71:27), he was praying for a purification of the earth to allow faith to flourish anew, making it an act of preservation, not just destruction.
— Al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir
The prayer for forgiveness in 71:28, 'whoever enters my house as a believer,' is interpreted by scholars as referring not just to his physical home, but to the Ark itself and, by extension, the 'house' of Islam. This makes his prayer a timeless plea for all who take refuge in the faith of Allah.
— Al-Qurtubi, Ibn Kathir
