The Great Flood from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets by Ismāʻīl ibn ʻUmar Ibn Kathīr
The story of the great flood is a well-known tale that has been passed down through generations. It is a story of divine punishment and divine mercy, a story of destruction and renewal. In the Islamic tradition, the story is told in the Quran and in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. According to the story, the people of the earth had become corrupt and sinful. They had turned away from God and were living in disobedience to His commandments. In His infinite wisdom, God decided to send a great flood to cleanse the earth of its wickedness and start anew. God chose Prophet Noah to be the one to warn the people of the impending flood and to build an ark to save himself, his family, and a select group of animals. Noah spent many years constructing the ark, all the while preaching to the people and calling them to repentance. Despite Noah's efforts, the people mocked him and refused to listen to his warnings. They continued in their sinful ways, confident that no harm would come to them. But when the floodwaters began to rise and the earth was engulfed in water, they realized the gravity of their mistake. As the floodwaters raged, Noah and his followers were safe aboard the ark, protected by the mercy of God. For forty days and forty nights, the rain poured down and the floodwaters covered the earth. All living creatures outside the ark perished, while those inside were spared. After the floodwaters receded and the earth was once again dry, Noah and his followers emerged from the ark to start anew. They were filled with gratitude for God's mercy and vowed to live in obedience to His commandments. The story of the great flood serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of repentance. It is a story of hope and redemption, of the power of faith and the mercy of God. And it continues to be retold and cherished by believers around the world as a testament to the enduring power of divine grace.
