      Noah Appeals to his Son







      Allah told the story thus:

      And he (Noah) said:
      "Embark therein
      in the Name of Allah
      will be its moving course
      and its resting anchorage
      Surely,
      my Lord is Oft-Forgiving
      Most Merciful."

      So it (the ship) sailed with them amidst the waves like mountains
      and Noah called out to his son
      who had separated himself (apart)

      "0 my son!
      Embark with us and be not with the disbelievers."

      The son replied:
      "I will betake myself to a mountain
      it will save me from the water.      "

      Noah said:
      "This day there is no savior from the Decree of Allah
      except him on whom He has mercy."

      And a wave came in between them
      so he (the son) was among the drowned
      And Noah called upon his Lord and said

      "0 my Lord!
      Verily, my son is of my family!
      And certainly
      Your Promise is true
      and You are the Most Just of the judges."

      He said:

      "0 Noah!
      Surely
      he is not of your family
      verily, his work is unrighteous
      so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge!
      I admonish you
      lest you be one of the ignorants."

      Noah said:
      "0 my Lord!
      I seek refuge with You from asking You that
      of which I have no knowledge.
      And unless You forgive me
      and have Mercy on me
      I would indeed be one of the losers."






      The Flood Ends





      And it was said:
      "0 earth!
      Swallow up your water
      and 0 sky!
      Withhold (your rain)."

      And the water was diminished(made to subside)
      and the Decree (of Allah) was fulfilled
      (i.e. the destruction of the people of Noah).
      And it (the ship) rested on Mount Judi
      and it was said:

      "Away with the people who are Zalimeen (polytheists and wrong-doing)!"
      It was said:
      "0 Noah!
      Come down (from the ship)
      with peace from Us and blessings on you
      and on the people who are with you
      (and on some of their offspring)
      but (there will be other) people
      to whom We shall grant their pleasures (for a time)
      but in the end a painful torment will reach them
      from Us."

      With the issue of the divine command
      calm returned to earth
      the water retreated
      and the dry land shone once again in the rays
      of the sun
      The flood had cleansed the earth of the disbelievers and polytheists




      The Believers Disembark



      Noah released the birds and the beasts
      which scattered over the earth
      After that the believers disembarked
      Noah put his forehead to the ground in prostration
      The survivors kindled a fire
      and sat around it
      Lighting a fire had been prohibited on board
      so as not to ignite the ship's wood and burn it up
      None of them had eaten hot food
      during the entire period of the flood
      Following the disembarkation there
      was a day of fasting in thanks to Allah



      Noah's Death



      The Quran draws the curtain on Noah's story
      We do not know how his affairs with his people continued
      All we know or can ascertain is that
      on his deathbed
      he requested his son to worship Allah alone
      Noah then passed away
      Abdullah Ibn Amru Ibn Alaas narrated that
      Prophet Muhammad said:

      "      When the death of the Messenger of Allah Noah approached
      he admonished his sons:

      'Indeed I would give you far-reaching advice
      commanding you to do two things
      and warning you against doing two as well
      I charge you (to believe) that there is no god but Allah
      and that if the seven heavens and the seven earths
      were put on one side of a scale and the words
      'There is no god but Allah'
      were put on the other
      the latter would outweigh the former

      And I warn you against associating partners with Allah
      and against pride.'      "

      Some traditions said that his grave is in the Sacred Mosque in Mecca (Makkah)
      while others said that he was buried in Baalabak
      a city in Iraq
