&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Nuh&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ({{lang-ar|نُوْحٌ|Nūḥ}}),&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dictionary of Islam&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Hughes|first=Thomas Patrick|title=Dictionary of Islam : being a cyclopaedia of the doctrines, rites, ceremonies, and customs, together with the technical and theological terms of the Muhammadan religion|year=1995|publisher=Asian Educational Services|location=New Delhi|isbn=9788120606722|page=435|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O84eYLVHvB0C&amp;amp;pg=PA435 |edition=Reprint}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; also known as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Noah]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, is recognized in [[Islam]] as a [[Prophets in Islam|prophet]] and [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|messenger]] of [[God in Islam|God]]. He is one of the [[Ulu&amp;#039;l azm prophets]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=NÛH - TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi |url=https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/nuh |language=tr}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Noah&amp;#039;s mission was to warn his people, who were plunged in depravity and sin. God charged Noah with the duty of preaching to his people, advising them to abandon idolatry and to worship only God and to live good and pure lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;know your islam&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Lalljee|first=compiled by Yousuf N.|title=Know your Islam|year=1981|publisher=Taknike Tarsile Quran|location=New York|isbn=9780940368026|page=[https://archive.org/details/knowyourislam0000lall/page/73 73]|url=https://archive.org/details/knowyourislam0000lall|url-access=registration|edition=3rd}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Although he preached the Message of God with zeal, his people refused to mend their ways, leading to building the [[Noah&amp;#039;s Ark|Ark]] and the [[Genesis flood narrative|Deluge]], the Great Flood. In Islamic tradition, it is disputed whether the Great Flood was a global or a local one.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |author=Stephen J. Vicchio |title=Biblical Figures in the Islamic Faith |publisher=Wipf and Stock Publishers |year=2008 |isbn=978-1-556-35304-8 |page=94}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Noah&amp;#039;s preaching and prophet-hood spanned 950 years according to the [[Quran]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Khan |first1=Saniyasnain |title=The Quran Explorer for Kids |date=2014 |publisher=Goodword Books |isbn=978-8178989075}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Noah&amp;#039;s mission had a double character: he had to warn his people, asking them to call for repentance and, at the same time, he had to preach about God&amp;#039;s mercy and forgiveness, promising them the glad tidings God would provide if they led righteous lives. References to Noah are scattered throughout the Qur&amp;#039;an, and there is even an entire [[sura]] carrying his name, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Nūḥ]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|71|1|e=28|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the Quran==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Ulu-l-‘Azm}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Praise===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Six Islamic Prophets}}&lt;br /&gt;
Noah is praised by God in the Quran, which shows his great status amongst the prophets. In [[Quran 17]]:3, God states: &amp;quot;Verily he was a devotee most grateful.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;qur173&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite quran|17|3|s=ns}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Also, from the Qur&amp;#039;an which states:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!&amp;quot;|[[Qur&amp;#039;an 37]]:75-79&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite quran|37|75|e=79|s=ns}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And also in [[Quran 3]]:33, it states: &amp;quot;[[Allah]] did choose [[Adam in Islam|Adam]] and Noah, the family of [[Abraham in Islam|Abraham]] and the family of [[Amram|&amp;#039;Imran]] above all people,-&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|3|33|s=ns}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Story===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cudi-dagh-tr-1829.jpg|thumb|[[Mount Judi]] (where the [[Noah&amp;#039;s Ark|ark]] is believed to have landed) in [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeast]] [[Turkey]], as seen from [[Şırnak]] in the north]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Quran states that Noah was inspired by [[Allah]], like other prophets such as [[Abraham in Islam|Ibrāhīm]] ([[Abraham]]), [[Ishmael in Islam|Ismā&amp;#039;īl]] ([[Ishmael]]), [[Isaac in Islam|Ishaq]] ([[Isaac]]), [[Jacob in Islam|Ya&amp;#039;qub]] ([[Jacob]]), [[Jesus in Islam|Isa]] ([[Jesus]]), [[Islamic view of Elijah|Ilyas]] ([[Elijah]]), [[Job in Islam|Ayyub]] ([[Job (Biblical figure)|Job]]), [[Islamic view of Aaron|Harun]] ([[Aaron]]), [[Jonah in Islam|Yunus]] ([[Jonah]]), [[David in Islam|Dawud]] ([[David]]) and [[Muhammad in Islam|Muhammad]], and that he was a faithful messenger. Noah had firm belief in the oneness of God, and preached Islam (literally &amp;quot;submission,&amp;quot; meaning [[Surrender (religion)|submission to God]]).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|4|163|s=r}}, {{cite quran|26|105|e=107|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He continuously warned the people of the painful doom that was coming and asked them to accept [[Tawhid|one God]] instead of [[Idolatry|worshipping idols]] such as [[Wadd]], [[Suwa&amp;#039;]], [[Yaghuth]], [[Ya&amp;#039;uq]] and [[Nasr (idol)|Nasr]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|25|s=r}}, {{cite quran|29|14|s=r}}, {{cite quran|71|1|e=5|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} He called the people to serve God, and said that nobody but God could save them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|23|23|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He said that the time of the deluge was appointed and could not be delayed, and that the people had to submit to God.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|7|59|e=64|s=r}}, {{cite quran|11|26|s=r}}, {{cite quran|26|105|e=110|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God commanded Noah to build a ship, the [[Noah&amp;#039;s Ark|Ark]], and as he was building it, the chieftains passed him and mocked him. Upon its completion, the ship is said to be loaded with pairs of every animal, and Noah&amp;#039;s household,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|35|e=41|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} and a group of believers who did submit to God. The people who denied the message of Noah, including one of his [[Fourth son of Noah|own sons]], drowned.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|7|64|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} The final resting place of the ship was referred to as &amp;quot;[[Mount Judi|Al-Jūdiyy]]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|44|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} or a &amp;quot;[[Al-Munzal Al-Mubârak|Munzalanm-Mubārakan]]&amp;quot; ({{lang-ar|مُنْزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا|Place-of-Landing Blessed}}).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Cite quran|23|23|e=30|s=ns&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite quran|23|23|e=30|s=ns}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah is called a grateful servant.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;qur173&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Both Noah and Abraham were taught the prophethood and the scripture.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|57|26|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} God commanded Noah to take all species that he needed on the ship. The commentary by Prophetic descendants explains the verse to mean eight animals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|40|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=4&amp;amp;tTafsirNo=110&amp;amp;tSoraNo=11&amp;amp;tAyahNo=40&amp;amp;tDisplay=yes&amp;amp;Page=5&amp;amp;Size=1&amp;amp;LanguageId=1 Tafsir Bahrani]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Traditional narrative in Islam==&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Islam]], he was a prophet, sent to warn mankind of that region and his people to change their ways. He conveyed the message for over 950 years. [[Islamic literature]] recounts that in the [[Generations of Adam]], many men and women continued to follow [[Adam]]&amp;#039;s original teachings, worshiping [[God in Islam|God]] alone and remaining righteous. Among Adam&amp;#039;s descendants there were many brave and pious men, greatly loved and revered by their respective communities. Exegesis goes on to narrate that, upon the death of these elders, people felt enormous grief and some felt prompted to make statues of these people in remembrance of them. Then gradually, through the generations many forgot what such statues were for and began to worship them, (as the Shaytan (Satan) slowly deceived each generation) along with many other [[Cult image|idol]]s. In order to guide the people, [[God]] appointed [[Noah]] with the duty of being the next prophet to humanity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceB&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Lives of the Prophets&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Leila Azzam, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Noah and The Ark&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Early preaching===&lt;br /&gt;
According to Islamic belief, Noah began preaching to his people both verbally and by example. He would praise [[God]] consistently and he urged his people to do the same, warning his tribe of the punishment they would face if they did not mend their ignorant ways. The [[Qur&amp;#039;an]] states that Noah repeatedly told his people:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 7:59&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt; Early on, a few were moved by Noah&amp;#039;s words but the powerful and wealthy members of the tribe refused to hear his call. The unbelievers at the time were impelled to rebel by various evil motives. Firstly, they were extremely envious and jealous of men superior to them in any way.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|27|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Secondly, the people were ignorant of the weak and lowly, who were frequently superior intellectually, morally and spiritually.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceB&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; As a result of their ignorance, they were arrogant and mocked all who they felt were inferior to them. Saying &amp;quot;Are we to believe you, when those who follow you are the most abject of people?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 26:111&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah responded: &amp;quot;Their judgment rests only with my Lord, if you could perceive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 26:113&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} When Noah preached the faith of God to them, all they did was revile the messenger, abuse the message and call the whole warning a lie.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceB&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He then went on to explain the Message in greater depth, ensuring them that it was not a message of destruction but it was a message with the mercy from God, and that their acts would lead to destruction if they did not accept the faith. He questioned them, asking why they would not accept what would benefit them in the near future.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceB&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Noah went onto further, and told his community that he asked of no reward from them, telling them his only reward would be from God. But his people threatened him with being [[stoning|stoned]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 26:116&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Accusation===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:16 2-8-2005-Noahs-ark-Hafis-Abru-2.jpg|thumbnail|Miniature from Hafiz-i Abru&amp;#039;s Majma al-tawarikh. &amp;quot;Noah&amp;#039;s Ark&amp;quot; Iran (Afghanistan), Herat; Timur’s son Shah Rukh (1405-1447) ordered the historian [[Hafiz-i Abru]] to write a continuation of [[Rashid-al-Din Hamadani|Rashid al-Din&amp;#039;s]] famous history of the world, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Jami al-tawarikh]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Like the [[Il-Khanids]], the [[Timurids]] were concerned with legitimizing their right to rule, and Hafiz-i Abru&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;A Collection of Histories&amp;quot; covers a period that included the time of [[Shahrukh Mirza|Shah Rukh]] himself.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As time passed, Noah became firmer in his preaching.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceB&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; When the unbelievers began insulting those who accepted God&amp;#039;s message, believing that Noah would send those faithful away to attract the wealthy unbelievers, Noah revealed that they - the arrogant and ignorant rich - were the wicked and sinful ones.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|29|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His people accused him of being [[Divination|soothsayer]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|31|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or diviner. Noah declared that he was by no means a mere fortune-teller, pretending to reveal secrets which are not worth revealing. Noah also denied accusations claiming he was an [[angel]], always maintaining that he was a human messenger. When the people refused to acknowledge their sinfulness Noah told them that it was not Noah, but God that would punish them - however God pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceB&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prayer===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Noah&amp;#039;s Ark by Miskin.jpg|thumb|left|A depiction of Noah in a [[Mughal painting|Mughal miniature]] from the 16th century]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Quran states that Noah prayed to God,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Stories of the Prophets&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Ibn Kathir, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Noah&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; telling him that his preaching only made his people disbelieve further.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|71|6|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah told God how they had closed their minds to accepting the message, so that the light of the truth should not affect their thinking.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|71|7|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah told God how he had used all the resources of the classical preacher, conveying the message both in public places and with individuals in private.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|71|9|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah spoke of how he had told the people the rewards they would receive if they became righteous, namely that God would supply plentiful rain&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|71|11|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} as a blessing, and that God would also guarantee them an increase in children and wealth.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|71|12|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Building of the Ark===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Noah&amp;#039;s ark and the deluge.JPG|thumb|Noah&amp;#039;s ark and the deluge from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Zubdat-al Tawarikh&amp;#039;&amp;#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Quran, one day, Noah received a [[revelation]] from [[God]], in which he was told that no one would believe the message now aside from those who have already submitted to [[God]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 11:36&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah&amp;#039;s frustration at the defiance of his people led him to ask God to not leave even one sinner upon earth.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Although there is no proof that God accepted his prayer&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 71:26&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} (as there is many examples of accepted prayers, such as in case of Yunus,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 21:87&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Lut (Lot),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 26:168&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Suleyman (Solomon)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 38:35&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} etc., even Noah&amp;#039;s prayer in some other shape was accepted&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 54:10&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}), God decreed that a terrible flood would come (and yet, Qur&amp;#039;an doesn&amp;#039;t say it came to cover whole Earth) and He ordered Noah to build a [[Noah&amp;#039;s Ark|ship]] (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fulk&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) which would save him and the believers from this dreadful [[Disaster|calamity]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Lives of the Prophets&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Leila Azzam, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Noah and the Ark&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ever obedient to God&amp;#039;s instructions, Noah went out in search of material with which to build the vessel. When Noah began building the Ark, the people who saw him at work laughed at him even more than before. Their conclusion was that he was surely a madman – they could not find any other reason why a man would build a huge vessel when no sea or river was nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Although Noah was now very old, the aged patriarch continued to work tirelessly until, at last, the Ship was finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
Little is known of Noah&amp;#039;s personal history before his call to prophecy. However, [[Ibn Kathir]] records him to have been the son of [[Lamech (father of Noah)|Lamech]] and grandson of [[Methuselah]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; one of the [[patriarch]]s from the [[Generations of Adam]]. Noah was neither the leader of the tribe nor a very rich man but, even before being called to prophecy, he worshiped [[God]] faithfully and was, in the words of the [[Qur&amp;#039;an]], &amp;quot;a devotee most grateful&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qur&amp;#039;an 17:3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Noah was married to a woman whose name is not mentioned in the Quran. Some Islamic historians such as [[Al-Tabari]] have suggested that the name of Noah&amp;#039;s wife was Umzarah bint Barakil but this cannot be confirmed. Most Muslims simply call her by her [[midrash]]ic name [[Naamah (Genesis)|Naamah]].{{citation needed|date=December 2019}} Islamic scholars agree that Noah had four sons whose names were [[Ham (son of Noah)|Ham]], [[Shem]], [[Generations of Noah#Extrabiblical sons of Noah|Yam]] and [[Japheth]]. According to the Quran, one of Noah&amp;#039;s sons was a disbeliever who refused to come aboard the Ark, instead preferring to climb a mountain, where he drowned. It is agreed among most Islamic scholars that [[Generations of Noah#Extrabiblical sons of Noah|Yam]] was the one who drowned; the other three remained believers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.alislam.org/library/books/HadhratNuh.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Quran states that Noah&amp;#039;s wife was not a believer with him so she did not join him; neither did one of Noah&amp;#039;s sons ([[Generations of Noah#Extrabiblical sons of Noah|Yam]]), who was secretly a disbeliever but had pretended faith in front of Noah. The sons of Noah are not expressly mentioned in the [[Qur&amp;#039;an]], except for the fact that one of the sons was among the people who did not follow his own father, not among the believers and thus was washed away in the flood.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://sunnahonline.com/library/stories-of-the-prophets/290-story-of-nuh-noah-the|title=Story of Nuh (Noah), The - SunnahOnline.com|first=Ibn|last=Kathir|website=sunnahonline.com|access-date=2015-05-24|archive-date=2012-10-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023093834/http://sunnahonline.com/library/stories-of-the-prophets/290-story-of-nuh-noah-the|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Also the Qur&amp;#039;an indicates a great calamity, enough to have destroyed [[Noah]]&amp;#039;s people, but to have saved him and his generations to come.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Quran 37]]:75-77&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
Noah&amp;#039;s wife ([[Naamah (Genesis)|Naamah]]) is referred to in the Qur&amp;#039;an as an evil woman. When God emphasizes upon the notion that everyone is for themselves on the [[Last Judgment|Day of Judgement]] and that marital relations will not be to your aid when the judgement takes place, the Qur&amp;#039;an says:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote|Allah sets forth, for an example to the [[Kafir|Unbelievers]], the wife of Noah and the wife of [[Lut]]: they were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: &amp;quot;Enter ye the [[Jahannam|Fire]] along with (others) that enter!|[[Qur&amp;#039;an 66]]:10 &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|66|10|s=r|t=y}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} In contrast, the wife of the [[Pharaoh of the Exodus]], [[Asiya, wife of the Pharaoh|Asiya]], and [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mary]], the mother of Jesus, are referred to as among the best of women. This adds to the notion that, on the Last Day, everyone will be judged according to their own deeds.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|66|11|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} The &amp;quot;[[Qisas Al-Anbiya|Stories of The Prophets]]&amp;quot; explain that the son who declined to embark&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite quran|11|42|s=r}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} was a [[Kafir|non-believer]].&lt;br /&gt;

In remembrance of Noah, [[Ashure]], also called &amp;quot;Noah&amp;#039;s Pudding&amp;quot;, a [[Turkish cuisine|Turkish]] [[dessert]], is made out of [[grain]]s, [[fruit]]s, [[dried fruit]]s and [[Nut (fruit)|nuts]]. These are believed to be the few ingredients left on the ark, used by Noah and his family to celebrate the end of the flood.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |author=Liz Miles |title=Celebrating Islamic Festivals |date=14 July 2016 |publisher=Raintree |isbn=978-1-4062-9774-4 |page=12}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is believed that after coming down from the ark on Mount Judi, Noah and the survivors of the flood (who are thought to have numbered around 80) built a settlement to the south of the mountain, named &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Thamanin&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sale1784&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Sale |first=George |author-link=George Sale |title=The Koran |publisher=Posner Memorial Collection |chapter= |pages= |isbn= |location= |url=http://posner.library.cmu.edu/ |year=1734}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Themanin&amp;#039;&amp;#039;,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Montgomery1972&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Montgomery |first=J. |title=The quest for Noah&amp;#039;s Ark |publisher=Bethany Fellowship |chapter= |pages=1–335 |isbn= |location=[[Minneapolis]], [[Minnesota]], the [[United States|U.S.A.]] |url= |year=1972}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (meaning &amp;quot;Eighty&amp;quot;) after the number of survivors.
