Noah Prays for the Disbelievers' End
There came a day when Allah revealed to Noah
that no others would believe.
Allah inspired him not to grieve for them
at which point Noah prayed that
the disbelievers be destroyed.
He said:
'My Lord!
Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth.
If you leave them
they will mislead Your slaves
and they will beget none but wicked disbelievers."
Allah accepted Noah's prayer.
The case was closed
and He passed His judgment on the disbelievers
in the form of a flood.
Allah the Exalted ordered His worshiper Noah
to build an ark with His knowledge and instructions
and with the help of angels.
Almighty Allah commanded:
"And construct the ship under Our Eyes
and with Our Inspiration,
and address Me not on behalf of those who did wrong
they are surely to be drowned."
Noah Builds the Ark
Noah chose a place outside the city
far from the sea.
He collected wood and tools
and began to work day and night
to build the ark.
The people's mockery continued:
"0 Noah!
Does carpentry appeal to you more than prophethood?
Why are you building an ark so far from the sea?
Are you going to drag it to the water
or is the wind going to carry it for you?"
Noah replied:
'You will come to know who will be put to shame and suffer."
Allah the Almighty narrated:
And as he was constructing the ship,
whenever the chiefs of his people passed by him,
they made a mockery of him.
He said:
"If you mock at us,
so do we mock at you likewise for your mocking.
And you will know who it is on whom will come a torment
that will cover him with disgrace
and on whom will fall a lasting torment. "
The Flood begins
The ship was constructed,
and Noah sat waiting Allah's command.
Allah revealed to him that
when water miraculously gushed forth from the oven at Noah's house,
that would be the sign of the start of the flood,
the sign for Noah to act.
The terrible day arrived
when the oven at Noah's house overflowed.
Noah hurried to open the ark
and summon the believers.
He also took with him a pair,
male and female,
of every type of animal,
bird and insect.
Seeing him taking these creatures to the ark,
the people laughed loudly:
"Noah must have gone out of his head!
What is he going to do with the animals?"
Almighty Allah narrated:
(So it was) till then there came Our Command
and the oven gushed forth
(water like fountains from the earth).
We said:
"Embark therein, of each kind two
(male and female),
and your family,
except him against whom the Word has already gone forth,
and those who believe."
And none believed him, except a few.
The Number of Believers
Noah's wife was not a believer with him,
so she did not join him;
neither did one of Noah's sons,
who was secretly a disbeliever
but had pretended faith in front of Noah.
Likewise most of the people were disbelievers and did not go on board.
Ibn Abbas stated that ther were eighty believers,
while Ka'ab Al-Ahbar held that there were seventy-two.
Others claimed that there were ten believers with Noah
Description of the Flood
Water rose from the cracks in the earth
there was not a crack from which water did not rise.
Rain poured from the sky in quantities never seen before on the earth.
Water continued pouring from the sky
and rising from the cracks
hour after hour the level rose.
The seas and waves invaded the land.
The interior of the earth moved in a strange way
and the ocean floors lifted suddenly
flooding the dry land.
The earth, for the first time
was submerged.
