الطوفان

God opened the gates of heaven with pouring rain and split the earth into springs so the waters met at a measured decree; We bore him on planks and nails — the unjust drowned and the believers were saved.

Summary

God ordered Noah to build the ark; when Our command came and the oven gushed, he carried pairs of every kind and the believers — earth split into springs and heaven poured water.

Ships

The ship runs upon the sea by God's bounty to show you His signs; He made the ships serviceable to you that they run by His command and you seek His bounty; and He saved Noah and those with him in the vessel of planks and nails.
