﴿قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ ۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِينَ﴾
[ هود: 43]

11:43 [But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.

He said ‘I shall take refuge in a mountain that will protect me preserve me from the water’. Said he ‘This day there is none that can protect from God’s command from His chastisement except — but — him on whom He God has mercy’ he will be protected. God exalted be He says And the waves came between them so he was among the drowned.

I will have recourse said the son, to a mountain for shelter. It shall protect me from the overflowing water. My son ,said Nuh, today and under the circumstances neither a mountain nor anything else shall serve as an expedient availing you against Allahs command except him to whom Allah extends His mercy. There, the abundant flow of water, rising in billows, intervened between them, and the son was among those destined to drown

The beginning of the Flood and Nuh loads Every Creature in Pairs upon the Ship This was the promise of Allah to Nuh , when the command of Allah came, the rain was continuous and there was a severe storm which did not slacken or subside, as Allah said, فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَبَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَاءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ - وَفَجَّرْنَا الاٌّرْضَ عُيُوناً فَالْتَقَى المَآءُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ - وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَاتِ أَلْوَحٍ وَدُسُرٍ - تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ( So We opened the gates of the heaven with water pouring forth.
And We caused springs to gush forth from the earth.
So the waters (of the heaven and the earth ) met for a matter predestined.
And We carried him on a ( ship ) made of planks and nails.
Floating under Our Eyes: a reward for him who had been rejected!)54:11-14 In reference to Allah's statement, وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ ( and the oven gushed forth. ) It is related from Ibn `Abbas that he said, "At-Tannur is the face of the earth." This verse means that the face of the earth became gushing water springs.
This continued until the water gushed forth from the Tananir, which are places of fire.
Therefore, water even gushed from the places where fire normally would be.
This is the opinion of the majority of the Salaf ( predecessors ) and the scholars of the Khalaf ( later generations ).
At this point, Allah commanded Nuh to select one pair from every kind of creature possessing a soul, and load them on the ship.
Some said that this included other creatures as well, such as pairs of plants, male and female.
It has also been said that the first of the birds to enter the ship was the parrot, and the last of the animals to enter was the donkey.
Concerning Allah's statement, وَأَهْلَكَ إِلاَّ مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ ( and your family -- except him against whom the Word has already gone forth ) This means, "Load your family upon the ship." This is referring to the members of his household and his relatives, except him against whom the Word has already gone forth, for they did not believe in Allah.
Among them was the son of Nuh, Yam, who went in hermitage.
Among them was the wife of Nuh who was a disbeliever in Allah and His Messenger.
Concerning Allah's statement, وَمَنْ ءَامَنَ ( and those who believe. ) from your people. وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ ( And none believed with him, except a few. ) This means that only a very small number believed, even after the long period of time that he ( Nuh ) was among them -- nine hundred and fifty years.
It is reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said, "They were eighty people including their women."

( He said: I shall betake me ) I will go ( to some mountain that will save me ) prevent me ( from the water ) from drowning. ( Said ) Noah: ( This day there is none that saveth ) there is none that prevents ( from the commandment of Allah ) from Allah’s chastisement: drowning ( save him on whom He hath had mercy ) except those upon whom Allah has mercy from among the believers. ( And the wave came in between them ) between Canaan and Noah; it is also said: between Canaan and the mountain, ( so he was among the drowned ) by the flood.

The son replied: "I will betake myself to a mountain, it will save me from the water." Nuh (Noah) said: "This day there is no saviourfrom the Decree of Allah except him on whom He has mercy." And a wave came in between them, so he (the son) was among the drowned.
