PROPHET: NOAH - NOOH (عليه السلام)

PART: 13

THE ARK MOVES IN THE NAME OF ALLĀH ﷻ

Noah abided by Allah’s Command and said: “Embark in it, in the Name of Allah. It will and shall cast anchor. Indeed, my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (11:41) It meant that the Ark will start in the Name of Allah and will finish its journey in the Name of Allah the All-Forgiving and Most Merciful.

WAVES LIKE MOUNTAINS!!

“And the Ark sailed with them upon waves like mountains.” (11:42) Waves like mountains: It was so huge a flood that the earth had never witnessed at any time such a catastrophic calamity. The heaven opened itself in all generosity, and the earth gushed forth water from every place. As the Qur’an says in Surah Al-Qamar: “So he called to his Lord, saying: ‘I am defeated, so administer Your victory.’ So We opened the gates of heaven with pouring water; and We caused the ground to gush forth springs, so the water met according to the decree which has been ordained. And we carried him upon a vessel well planked and nailed; floating before Our Eyes,” means that it sailed in Our Security and Safety, in Our Protection and Guardianship.

Ibn Jarir has mentioned that the Flood came of the 13th of Aab (August) in the Coptic year.

In Surah Al-Haqqah, it is said: “Surely, We bore you in the floating Ark when the water overflowed, that We might make it a reminder for you, and heeding ears may bear its (lessons) in remembrance.” (69:11-12)

THE LEVEL OF WATER REACHES ABOVE THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ON EARTH

A group of exegetes hold the opinion that the Water went 15 cubits above the highest mountain on the earth. This is also the opinion in the Ahlul Kitab (People of the Book), (Bible, Genesis 7:20). In another opinion it is suggested that it was 80 cubits above it, and encompassed the whole earth from its east to its west, its plains and mountains, its deserts and wilds. Everything died as a result of this Flood.
