Hud 48-49
48- IT WAS SAID: “O NOAH, COME DOWN WITH PEACE FROM US AND BLESSINGS FROM US, UPON YOU AND UPON NATIONS TO COME OUT OF THOSE WITH YOU, AS WELL AS NATIONS WE WILL PUNISH A SEVERE PUNISHMENT.
49- THIS IS BUT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN, THIS KNOWLEDGE YOU DID NOT KNOW BEFOREHAND, NEITHER DID YOUR PEOPLE, BE PATIENT AND PERSEVERE, FOR THE PIOUS ARE THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO LAST.
When the water went down, the Ark landed on a mountain, as this was a high place, and the high land would have appeared first. There are different opinions as to which mountain it was, one in Iraq, or the mountain of Ararat in Turkey. There is no authenticated knowledge as to which mountain it was, but it was called “Al-Jodi” at the time.
Noah and his people and all the creatures came out from inside the Ark and were given a promise, and Allah the Highest promised them both:-
- Peace. From such an annihilating flood again, they are not to take place on Earth again. Lesser floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, fires etc. happen and will continue to happen, but they do not annihilate the human race and all creation.
- Blessings. The blessings are all the provisions and good things Allah the Highest provides for his people on earth, all the things they need for their life.
These peace and blessing are for Noah, his people and for those descended from them. Allah the Highest tells us that out of those people and creatures, who went into the Ark with Noah, came many nations of different shapes, colours and forms. They inhabited the Earth, whether human beings, animals, birds, insects and all the kinds of creatures.
As it is Allah’s Policy on Earth, Allah the Highest lets all people enjoy their presence and life on Earth, in order to be tested, then the Punishment will come to the transgressors. This is exactly what happened to the people of Noah, who perished in the great flood.
Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, and his people did not know about this before Islam. Noah and the flood were known only to the people of the book, the Jews and the Christians.
