25. TANDOOR THAT CAUSED FLOOD
Allah had revealed it to Sayyiduna Nuh two hundred years back through Divine revelation that his people will be drowned in a flood. However, a sign for the advent of this flood was revealed to him that water would start to gush out from the tandoor in his home. Therefore, one day in the morning, water started coming out from the stone-made tandoor. Therefore, he ordered his people and animals to board the ark. After this, raining started heavily, that continued for forty days and forty nights without break. The earth also burst opened from various places, causing the water to spring
out. Consequently, the rainfall and the emergence of water from the earth caused such a heavy flood that even forty yards high hilltops got submerged under the water. Allah has mentioned:
To the extent that when Our command came and the tandoor (an oven) flooded, We said, ‘Board into the ark a couple – male and female – from every kind (of creatures), except those upon whom the Word has been passed, and your family members, and all other Muslims’; and very few Muslims were with him.
Describing the heavy flow and turbulence of the water from the sky and the earth, Allah has mentioned:
We therefore opened the gates of heaven, with water heavily flowing and caused springs to gush out from the earth, so both the waters met totalling a quantity that had been fated.
This is how the flood came and the entire earth inundated. How heavy was the flood and what was the extent of its waves? The Holy Quran has depicted it in the following words:
And the same carries them in the midst of waves like mountains.
Sayyiduna Nuh boarded the ark and it was sailing striking with the waves of the water until it reached the mountain of Joodi safely and halted there. At the time of boarding the ark, Sayyiduna Nuh recited the following supplication:
In Allah’s name is its movement and its stopping; indeed my Lord is surely Forgiving, Most Merciful.
