It wasn't long before news of Noah's activities reached the
unbelievers and they came to see what he was doing. When they
saw him building a large boat they laughed and mocked them.
The only reply Noah made was, "If you mock us, we shall indeed
mock you, just as you mock! You shall know on whom the degrading
punishment will come and upon whom the everlasting punishment will
fall."
At last the work was finished and the Ark stood in readiness on dry
land, far away from the sea. Now that it was ready Allah told Noah
that He would send him a sign and that when it came he, his family -
with the exception of the one for whom the Word had spoken against
- and the believers were to go on board the Ark taking with them a
pair of every kind of animal. Allah told Noah that the sign they must
await would be that water would gush forth from an oven.
