Allah by his sacred command sent the Prophet Noah scriptures including holy orders. The Prophet Noah distributed these to the people of his time. The essence of these pages was, indeed, beautiful ethics. There were sayings like:

“honour-honesty to young men; virtue to the girls, intellect, sagacity, dignity to the old men and women; nobility to the brides.”

Prophet Noah taught his children and youth courage, nobility, keeping their promises, hard work, and spiritual virtue. He made them aware that any small problem in any of these would mean a problem in their honesty in general. Türk İman, that is, Türkmen young men considered verbal attacks on their homeland, their relatives and parents, as attacks on their honour and they did not hesitate to struggle against these.

The Prophet Noah ordered girls, wives and old women to cover their bodies with long, loose dresses, and their heads with head scarves, but left their faces open. “Türkmens’ faces reflect the light of Allah. For that reason sunlight, which is the torchlight of God, should fall on their faces and this should not be prevented.” Prophet Noah also advised repeatedly that men should not hit the faces of their children or wife. As for the woman’s mouth, he ordered them to cover it. This cover become the Türkmen traditional cover or yaşmak. Later he ordered the girls to cover their faces with the extensions of their dresses when they made eye contact with a man and to bite the extension when they heard ugly words.  

Prophet Noah ordered the elders to be careful, patient and wise when educating children and placed on the shoulders of the elders the burden of bringing up children suitably equipped with the necessary skills for conditions in the real world. Prophet Noah wanted the youth to avoid making errors and not to be mistaken. He preached thus:

“If elders make a mistake once, their juniors make it a thousand times. If the father makes a mistake, the son makes a mistake; if the mother makes mistakes, the daughter makes mistakes; if the father-in-law and mother-in-law make a mistake, the bride makes a mistake.” For this reason he established the rules of good manners at home for TÜRK İMAN.

This rules of good manners are as follows:

1. respect your elders

2. love your juniors

Prophet Noah said, “If you do not respect your old people, and do not love your juniors then humanity gets lost; and an era of no mercy begins”

3. respect your father and mother

He advised children kindly: “Do not talk to your father and mother while looking in their faces. Do not frown at, make sour face to, them. Do not behave badly to them. If they order something, then do it.” This can be internalized by the children easily and in a short time.

4. Wear clean and decent clothes. (Outward appearance)  

Prophet Noah ordered: “Good clothes improve the external appearance and make people look good. Choose clothes that suit you.”

5. Keep goods at your home that have been earned by your own labor and efforts.

Prophet Noah said: “Do not take other people’s goods. Do not bring them to your house, and do not make them yours,” and added, “The home is also a place to visit.”

6. The decoration of the home, its order, cleanliness and appearance should be very good.

Prophet Noah repeatedly said: “Each material thing should make the soul feel comfortable and should increase happiness in life. If your house is dirty, then you feel bad, dis-oriented and uncomfortable.”

7. Protect the home and its exterior and neighboring areas and the place you live in.

Prophet Noah ordered: “Remain aware of and protect whole-heartedly your neigbours and your neighbourhood. If an enemy attacks your neigbour’s home, then you will be the next.”

8. Spritual sublimity

Prophet Noah advised: “Always maintain sublime targets for your spirit. That adds spirit and light to the value of your life, and makes your difficult dealings easy.”

9. Women’s make up

“Do not be mean with emerald stones for your daughters and wives. Find them wherever they are and give them to the women. If one upsets his wife or daughter, he is not a TÜRK İMAN since they are very pleasant by nature, and their souls are pleasant too. Please them if you want to treat them well. Give them valuable pieces so that they may wear them on their breast, neck, and back. However, never harm their faces; the face itself is more valuable than thousands of emerald pieces. Allah’s love in people’s heart shows itself in people’s faces and enlightens the world. If you do this, they look better, satisfy your soul, and strengthen your spirit.” as Prophet Noah advised. He always said: “The decoration and beauty of the home are the daughters and the wives. A rose is beautiful in the garden; a wife, a daughter is beautiful in the home.”

More than this, the Prophet Noah said:

“Keep the fire in the stove alight and do not allow your family to perish. Fire is life and puts an end to problems, frightening evil away.”
