Verses 40-43WAS THE FLOOD UNIVERSAL?

      The faithless continued with his blasphemy and inequitous conducts, and the faithful with his belief and righteous deeds until God's decree was issued, and the oven of God's wrath boiled over, and a fearful tempest began! Then the sky rained cats and dogs, and all the springs on the earth gushed forth, and Lo! A mad Flood covered the whole globe, and overwhelmed everything and every one! It seemed as if the ovens which are usually the places of fire, had turned to flowings springs of water, in order to catch and drown all the enemies of truth!

      Noah and his followers got the hint from a certain oven which boiled up, and swiftly prepared themselves for a fearful voyage. They soon took refuge in the Ark of Allah, knowing well that there would be no refuge other than that, from the wrath of God.

      As per order that was inspired to him; Noah embarked all the believersِwho were not manyِhis own family, except his wife, and KANAAN his sonِand from all species of the animals, a male and a female, and that was all.

      The vessel raised up, and upper, and upset, by the boiling and roaring water; and at once found herself amid the furious waves that

towered like mountains. Everything seemed to be fearful, and no hope flickered from anywhere except from the direction of God!

      The unbelieving son of Noah whose name was KANAAN, standing apart had no confidence in Allah, and relied upon the material things like the mountains! He refused to obey his father in joining them in the Ark. He even could not believe that the handmade Ark of his father could withstand the Flood. In answer to his father he said:ِ ``I will go to that mountain's peak which will protect me from the water.'' He could not believe that all the peaks and depths are in the charge of Allah and under His control:ِ

      ``My son! Embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers. And he replied:ِ I shall soon seek refuge in the mountains which will protect me from water.''

      And the father who saw the fruit of his life is being lost, said with pity and sorrow:ِ ``Papa! No one can protect you to-day from the wrath of God, except His own Mercy.''

      But a huge wave came forth and interrupted the argument and made a barrier between them, and the rude son went with the waves which were not his friend!
