safety, after all they thought, floods had never, ever been known to reach to
the tops of mountains they would be safe there! The rain poured, and poured
down unceasingly, and the springs of the earth gushed forth and combined as
the waves grew higher and higher.

Amongst the unbelievers was Yam, one of the sons of Noah. When Noah
caught sight of him he called out to him saying, "Embark with us, my son, do
not be with the unbelievers!" But his son replied, "I shall seek refuge on a

there is no defender from the command of Allah, except those to whom He
has mercy!" and the waves came between them and Yam was drowned along
with the other unbelievers.

Noah and his followers settled themselves on-board the Ark praising Allah
and supplicated to Him with the words He had given to Noah, "Praise be to
Allah who has saved us from the harm-doing nation. Lord, let me land a
blessed landing. You are the Best of harborers."
