Al-Mu'minun 27: Then, We revealed to him, “Build the ship in front of Our eyes (under Our watch) as We have revealed to you. When Our command comes and the water gushes out, load onto the ship two pairs from each (living being) and your family, with the exception of those against whom a word has been said (to drown). Do not supplicate Me about the ones who have committed oppression, for they will certainly drown!”

Translation

Then, We revealed to him, “Build the ship in front of Our eyes (under Our watch) as We have revealed to you. When Our command comes and the water gushes out, load onto the ship two pairs from each (living being) and your family, with the exception of those against whom a word has been said (to drown). Do not supplicate Me about the ones who have committed oppression, for they will certainly drown!”

Tafsir

Accepting the prayer of Hazrat Noah (peace be upon him), Allah (swt) revealed to His Prophet Noah (peace be upon him): "Build the ark under our supervision and in the way we have instructed you. Because Allah would send His command and send the flood, the flood of Noah, to inundate the world, drowning and destroying everything except the creatures He would have loaded on the ark.

Hazrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm' built the ship as Allah (swt) had instructed and taught Hazrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm' how to use the ship and the knowledge of this ship.

O Noah! When you have completed the ark and Our command comes to you, before the waters begin to rise or the waters gush out of the ponds, take into the ark one male and one female from the animals. He said, 'Take your family into the ark, except those who have judgment against you. And one son of his family went as a disbeliever who had rebelled against himself and Allah. And those who were condemned against themselves are those who disbelieved in Allah in the beginning and disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger when they were born, even though they saw the truth in their destiny. And finally the ship is completed. Except for those who boarded the ship, the order was fulfilled.

Noah's people did not reform and did not stop worshipping idols, even though their Prophets invited them to the Truth among them and Noah's people saw many miracles, and He will destroy them with the waters.

The waters begin to rage on all sides and the rain begins to fall in torrents. It is as if the firmament is an ocean, and it begins to pour over the earth. The ark began to rise above the waters, and the idols of the people who did not believe in Allah and the Hereafter were submerged in the waters. Now people have no branches to cling to and no security. And the world was flooded and the people perished. After Hazrat Noah (peace be upon him), human beings repopulated the earth for the second time, as they did in the time of our ancestor Adam.

Upon

this We revealed to him the following, that is, Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 27. Upon this We revealed to him: before Our eyes, under Our protection and in the way We inform you, build the ship. Build the ship.

You know, when we say Allah Almighty, in essence, is like a human equipped with a form, they come saying this man is deviant, (?) Allah's attribute. Yet Allah Almighty says in His verse: do they have eyes that see, hands that grasp, feet that walk, tongues that speak? Here too He says "before Our eyes". Now, by the outward word, memorizing a few verses or knowing Arabic, it is not possible to grasp the meanings of this Quran. You cannot open it up.

Well, if you ask, "You don't know it, so how do you open it up?", I am an ummi who comes from the path of Uwais al-Qarani. Ummi does not mean someone who cannot read and write. A person on a branch, raised by no one on earth, whose teacher is Allah Himself, is ummi. That branch is ummi too. Its teacher is Allah Almighty. Yes. My teacher, too, is my Lord. I was raised on the verses. Whichever verse you name, let me tell you its meaning.

He says: whomever We give knowledge, We give wisdom. Knowledge is one thing, wisdom another.

Well, when one says "Ahmet, come here", you know only that much: the man is calling Ahmet, you say. But a person given wisdom knows why that man is calling Ahmet. That is wisdom. The wisdom in the verses is like that too. Open this up (?) as much as you like. This is how you'll open it up: half-baked. Half-baked. Upon

this We revealed to him: before Our eyes, under Our protection and in the way We inform you, build the ship, He makes known. And when Our command comes and the waters surge and begin to rise, two of every kind in pairs, and also, apart from those of them against whom judgment was not — was passed beforehand, your family onto the ship; and concerning those who did wrong do not plead with Me at all, for they will surely be drowned. Yes. So after Adam, our second propagation came after Noah.

Allah Almighty, who accepted the prayer of Noah (peace be upon him), reveals to His Prophet Noah (peace be upon him) the following. Build the ship under Our (?), Our eyes, and in the way We inform you. That is, build the ship under Our watch and in the way We inform you. Because Allah will send His command and, raining down the flood known as Noah's flood and leaving the world under water, apart from His creatures He will have loaded onto the ship He will drown and destroy everything. Noah (peace be upon him) builds the ship in the way Allah Almighty made known, and He teaches how the ship is to be used, and the knowledge of this ship, to Noah (peace be upon him).

O Noah! When you have finished the ship, when Our command comes to you, before the waters surge and begin to rise, or before water from the springs gushes out, take onto the ship a male and a female of the animals. Apart from those against whom judgment has been passed, put the families on the ship too, He commanded. From his family, one of his sons had rebelled against him and against Allah and gone away as one of the unbelievers. As for those against whom judgment was passed: people who had denied Allah before, and who, when they came into the world, despite seeing the truth within their destiny, denied Allah and His Prophet — it is the sentence of their destruction.

And finally the ship is completed; for all but those who boarded the ship, the command of the Truth has come to pass. Although their prophet among them invited them to the truth, and although many miracles the people of Noah saw, they did not reform and did not cease worshipping idols; He will destroy this people with the waters. The waters from every side begin to surge. And the rain begins to pour down as a flood. The sky's dome is like a sea. And this sea begins to flow down over the world as if bursting. The ship, too, on the waters begins to rise. The idols trusted by people who do not believe in Allah and the hereafter are buried in the waters too. Now people have neither a branch to hold on to nor any security left. And with the world under water, the people have perished. So, after Noah (peace be upon him) — after Noah (peace be upon him), people on earth, for the second time, as in our forefather Adam's time, propagated anew.

Yes.
