This is a short story about Sayyidina Nabi Nuh (Alayhissalam). One day Allah revealed to him that a flood was coming. Allah also revealed to him to make a boat for the people so that they could be saved. When he was making the boat together with his followers, people started to laugh at him because there was no water. When the flood came, everyone who wanted to be saved went in the boat. Sayyidina Nabi Nuh (Alayhissalam) also took on the boat a male and a female of each type of animal and creature. His wife and son thought that they could save themselves on their own so they went to a mountain. But they ended up drowning in the flood, together with the wicked people who refused to go on the boat. Everyone who went on the boat was saved. They thanked Allah for saving them.
- Christians call him Noah.
