How flood stopped (stories from Qurran)











After the storm which came on the nation of Hazrat Nuh (A.S) there was water every where . every thing exept some humans and animals every thing has drowned . Hazrat Nuh (A.S) was very upset . His own son had also drowned in water .
When Allah wanted to stop the flood, He sent a wind upon the face of the earth that caused the water to be still. Then the springs of the earth were closed off from the great flooding and the pouring rain from the sky halted.
The water began decreasing and subsiding until the ship settled on Mount Judi. The People of the Tawrah claim that this occurred during the seventh month and it lasted for seventeen nights. Then, on the first day of the tenth month, Hazrat Nuh saw the mountain tops.
Then after forty more days, Nuh opened the small window in the roof of the ship and he sent a raven out to see what the water had done. However, the raven did not return to him.
Then, he sent a Dove out but it returned to him without finding any land to put its two feet down. He extended his hand out of the ship and the dove grabbed his hand so that Hazrat Nuh (A.S) could pull it back into the ship.
Then, after seven more days passed, he sent the dove out again to investigate for him. The dove returned in the evening with a leaf from an olive tree in its mouth.
From this, Nuh knew that the water had decreased from the face of the earth. He remained in the ship for seven more days before he sent the dove out again.
This time the dove did not return to him, so he knew that the earth had appeared. Thus, a year was completed from the time that Allah sent the flood, until the time of Nuh sending the dove.
The first day of the first month of the second year began when the face of the earth appeared and land became visible. This is when Nuh uncovered the opening of the ship. During the second month of the second year, after twenty six nights.
Allah said
"O Nuh! Come down from the ship with peace from
