Prophet Nuh

"And it was revealed to, "None of your people will believe now, other than those who have already believed.  So do not grieve at their evil deeds.  Build an ark under Our Eye according to Our revelation, and beware not to plead with Me on behalf of the wrongbelievers, for they are all to be drowned in the flood.  So he started to build the ark and whenever the chiefs of his people passed by him they laughed at him.  He said, "Laugh at us now now, soon the time will come when we will laugh at you as you are laughing at us.  Soon you will come to know who will be seized by a humiliating scourge and who will be afflicted with everlasting punishment."

 

Finally when Our Command came and the water from Al-Tannur (a particular oven marked as the starting point to warn Nuh in order to get him ready to board thew ark) gushed forth, We said to Nuh, "Take into the Ark a pair of every species, your family, except those on whom the word has already gone forth, and the believers, and those who believed with him were only a few.   Thus he said, "Embark on it, in th ename of Allah is its course and its anchorage, surely my Rabb is Forgiving, Merciful." 

 

As the Ark floated with them over the moutainous waves and Nuh called out to his son, who stood apart, "O my son! Embark with us and not with the unbelievers!"  He replied, "I will take refuge on some mountain which will save me from the flood."   None will be secure today from the judgement of Allah, except those on whom He has mercy!"  And thereupon a  wave came between them and he became one of those who drowned.  Finally Allah said, "O Earth! Swallow up your water and O sky! cease your rain." The floodwater abated and the judgement was carried out.  The ark rested on Al-Judi and it was saiod, "Gone are the wrong doing people!"  Nuh called out to his Rabb saying, "O my Rabb! My son is of my family and surely, Your promise is true and You are the most just of all Judges"  Allah replied, "O Nuh! In fact he is not of your family for he is not of righteous conduct, so do not ask Me of anything of which you have no knowledge!  I admonish  you, lest you become one of the ignorant!"
