A Ghanaian man known as “Abu Noah” has sparked widespread controversy after claiming on social media that he received “divine revelation” foretelling the arrival of a flood that would last for three consecutive years. He called on people to repent and prepare for what he described as the “near end of humanity”.
In a video clip published on his TikTok account, he said: “O Lord, I beseech You, save Your people, have mercy on us, have mercy on us, have mercy on us”, adding that God had commanded him to build ships to save those who believe in him from the anticipated flood.
“Abu Noah”, who was previously known as “Abu Christ”, is 30 years old and has more than one million followers on TikTok.
Building Ships and Public Claims
The Ghanaian man began building his first ship in August 2025, asserting that the flood would begin on 25 December of the same year.
He claimed that the size of the first ship was not sufficient to accommodate all the believers who arrived from different parts of Ghana and other countries, which led him to decide to build ten additional ships.
He said: “After supplication, God granted us more time to build other ships that will accommodate all of us”.
According to his posts, he documented a three-day fast as a form of supplication “for the salvation of humanity”, while urging people to join the ships that he claimed would save them from the flood.
In a recent message, he stressed that he “does not sell tickets and does not take money”, asking his followers to “stay in their homes and enjoy their time”.
He concluded by saying: “I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The ship is still here. Repent, repent, repent”.
Islamic Perspective on the Claim
From an Islamic standpoint, such claims are categorically false. Islam holds, as a core and well-known belief, that Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is the final prophet and the seal of all prophethood. No individual can legitimately claim prophethood after him. Claims of new revelation or divine mission of this kind are fabrications that contradict the Islamic creed and have no religious validity.
