As-Salam Alaikum,
I am wondering the Flood at the time of Prophet Nuh was Local or Global.
Some say it was Global while say Local and Some say it was Local but the population at that time was only lives at that place, no where else in the World.
So which one is true?
Thanks.
Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother,
The corrupt bible [
2] says it was global, and the Holy Quran says it was local. The flood was a punishment for the people of Noah, peace be upon him, and not all of earth:
[010:071] Relate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of God,- yet I put my trust in God. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite.[011:025] We sent Noah to his people (with a mission): "I have come to you with a Clear Warning:[011:032] They said: "O Noah! thou hast disputed with us, and (much) hast thou prolonged the dispute with us: now bring upon us what thou threatenest us with, if thou speakest the truth!?"Also, did you know that chapter of Noah (Surat Nuh, which Surah 71) consists of
950 Letters, and Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah (Nuh) lived for
950 years among his people? Also, the story of Noah in Surat Hud (Surah 11:25:49) meets the Miracle of Number 19 in the Glorious Quran. For the image screen shots and proofs for all of the numerical counts, which I have personally verified and posted on the website, visit:
