When NOAH lost his hopes for guiding his obstinate people, he said to our Lord:ِ

      ``My Lord! Help me in what my people belied me.''

      God answered his prayer, and instructed him how to prepare the necessary preliminaries for the rescue of believers and annihilation of the obstinate unbelievers:ِ

      ``We inspired Noah saying; construct the Ark under our eyes and inspiration.''

      The word, ``inspiration'' in this clause, implies that Noah constructed the ship with the direction of Allah, and he learned the know how through the inspiration of God.

      God's next instruction to Noah was to wait and watch for Allah's order to be issued, a sign of which would be the oven from which water had to gush out.

      Usually from an OVEN a fire will burst into flame; but from the oven of God's wrath, can anything gush out, even water or earthquake.

      Then when he sign of God's order appeared, Noah was commanded to take aboard the Ark, one pair of each kind of creatures, to which he could have access; in accompany with his own family, of which his sinful son was excluded.

      When Noah and those who were with him embarked, Noah said:ِ ``Praise be to Allah who saved us from the oppressing people.'' And they all gave themselves up to the furious sea and dreadful waves under the care of God.
