Hud 40: When finally Our order came and the water started gushing forth, We said to Noah; “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), and those who believe!” And very few had believed with him.

When finally Our order came and the water started gushing forth, We said to Noah; “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), and those who believe!” And very few had believed with him.
Tafsir
Finally Allah's command came to pass. Allah began to boil the waters from the earth and rain down from the heavens on the earth in the form of a deluge, filling the earth's surface with water and making it a sea. The rushing of the waters here is the filling of the earth from the heavens and the earth with the waters created by Allah (swt).
At this time, before the waters had even begun to rise, Allah revealed to Hazrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm': "O Noah! Load a couple of each kind of living creature into the ship. He also said, 'Take on board people who believe in you, people who have not been destroyed, and people from your family who believe in you. In any case, the people who believed in Hadrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm' were very few.
Hadrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm' took one pair of every kind of living creature into the ship. He also loaded his family on the ship. Only one of his sons was not one of those who believed in his father, Hadrat Noah, so he stayed behind with the rest.
Some commentators interpret the meaning of "the tandoor boiled" in the verse as meaning that the ship was not an ordinary ship, but a steamship, and when it is said that the tandoor boiled, the furnace part of the ship was burned and the ship was ready to move. This is a wrong interpretation.
The words of Hadrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm' in the forty-first verse prove that the ship was not steam-powered. When Hadrat Noah 'alaihis-salâm said, "It is in the name of Allah that it floats and floats and stops," he meant that the waters dragged the ark by the power of Allah and that the waters receded and the ark ran aground at the place where it was located, which is reported to be Mount Cudi, a high mountain. This mountain is thought to be Mount Ararat in Turkey. The meaning of the tandoor here is the boiling of water from within the earth. This boiling may refer to the boiling of hot water in that town.
This is Allah's way of putting a people in their place and destroying them in order to prevent their descendants from following them and leading them to destruction.
When Allah (swt) loaded the ark with all living creatures and the believing people boarded the ark and all living creatures on the earth perished, Allah (swt) created new creatures from the creatures on the ark after the flood. God is omnipotent in His power of creation.
What is said in the video
Even if the ship had an oven, even if it had steam, against it the ship's power would not suffice. This can only be what? Something that keeps the ship on the water, able to stay on the water even (?) its rapid flow — Noah (peace be upon him) building the ship in such a way. Noah (peace be upon him), by the command of our Lord, to keep the ship on the water, yes, with timbers supporting one another builds a ship.
Then, when he says its sailing and its stopping are by Allah's command, it runs aground on the top of a mountain. That is, they call this Mount Judi. A place identified as present-day Mount Ağrı (Ararat). Yes. In verse 41, the (?) of Noah (peace be upon him) proves that the ship was not steam-powered. When Noah (peace be upon him) said its sailing and its stopping are in Allah's name, it is the waters dragging the ship by Allah's power, and, again, by the waters receding, the ship, where it was, on land, running aground. Yes.
This is reported to be Mount Judi, a high mountain. And this is known to be Mount Ağrı (Ararat) in Turkey. What is meant by the oven here is the waters, from inside the earth, boiling up. The oven boiled. Yes, it is the waters boiling up from inside the earth. This boiling may mean hot water boiling up in that region as well. Hot water. Just as some spa waters are also very hot. For example, in (?) there is roughly water above 100 degrees, it comes out boiling, boiling. Yes, when (?) source is said, anyway the world also has a magma part, that is, a fire centre, which is also called magma. Anyway, when Allah Almighty says the oven boiled, it may also be hot.
Normally, (?) from that world's, of course, inner part, how much of this water, or the depth, the inner depth of the world, (?) how much water has accumulated, if there is water, which within our Lord's knowledge — to bring it directly out from there, it may come out hot as well. It may come out boiling, too. The moment it comes out from there, the moment it comes out from there, that is, the water, within the depth of that world — let us say the depth of the world, for example,
is 15 kilometres, 20 kilometres. To the centre, for example. If 5 kilometres or 6 kilometres, or 8 kilometres of it were filled with water, filled with water, in the meantime the highest peak of the world — I say for example, of course relative to that, perhaps there are mountains 12 thousand, 13 thousand kilometres high — the height of those mountains, just as it is, by boiling the water from inside, He can drown the world in water. Like what? For example, when a submarine draws water into itself, it dives. And when it empties the water under pressure, when it empties the water with pressure, it becomes lighter and rises above the water.
So Allah Almighty too, by His power, by His knowledge, by putting pressure on those waters, now, how, with what kind of knowledge. For example, let us say He causes a hurricane. Causes a tornado. It destroys everything in its path. Carries it away. So in this way, with a (?), up to the top of the highest mountain He fills the world with water so that it is filled with water. Then swallow your water, He says. Its water, again the waters receding to the same place.
Also, with the stopping of the water falling from the sky, the world returns to its former state again. It becomes land again.
So, Allah (?) a people, to show them their limits, and so that the generation coming after does not, by following these people, be dragged to destruction too, this is His annihilation of these people. Allah Almighty has all living things loaded onto the ship, and with believing people boarding the ship, with the destruction of all living things on earth, Allah Almighty (?) living things after this (?) from the living things on the ship derived. We have said that Allah, with His power to create, is capable of everything, and finally, after Adam, the earth is descended from Noah. Yes, the difference between them: people are descended from Adam, the first created, and Eve. The pairs of those created, being on the ship, their two generations, from those created, Allah Almighty again makes the people in the world (?) descend.
