1.Who Was Prophet Arphaxad?
Arphaxad was a pivotal post-flood patriarch and a direct ancestor of the line of prophets leading to Abraham.
He was born in 2446 BC - exactly two years after the Great Flood ended - making him the very first child born in the newly cleansed world. As another son of Shem and grandson of Noah, Arphaxad grew up in Mesopotamia, heavily influenced by the profound faith and survival of his immediate elders. His life served as a critical genealogical and spiritual bridge during a time when human lifespans were rapidly declining due to the harsh realities of the post-flood environment. He fathered his son, Salah, at the age of 35 and spent the remainder of his life establishing his family and protecting early historical scriptural records. Arphaxad lived to 438 years old and died in 2008 BC.2. Who Is Prophet Arphaxad in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam?
