NOAH’S ARK

Even If Noah’s Ark Is Not Proven, Noah’s Ark Still Could Have Landed On Mount AraratMount Ararat is located in Eastern Turkey on

the borders of Iran, Armenia (formerly U.S.S.R.), and Nakchivan.

Noah (Nuh) is one of the five principal prophets of Islam.

Man became sinful and wicked, worshipped idols. So Noah was sent to the evil man by God (Allah).

Noah called the man to worship God, but even his son did not follow him. They made fun of him, and punished him.Noah was sad and cursed them. He complained them to God.God ordered him to make an ark and to complain any more. Because they were going to be drowned by the flood.

He obeyed what God told him to do. He build the big ark that had three floors.

When it was finished there was a big flood.Everywhere was full of water.

Nonbelievers were all drowned, even his son who didn’t belive him was drowned by the great waves.

He got onto the ark with about 80

believers, a couple of each animals.

After 150 days, God ordered the sky to stop the rain and the earth to

absorb the water.People on the arc was saved.

Noah and his three sons are believed to be the fathers of mankind. That is

why Noah is called as the Second Adam.

The people were hungry with a little food. Noah told them to put all the food they have together.

So the first “aşüre” (pudding made with cereals, sugar, and raisins) was cooked.

Muslims cook aşure every year. It is delicious.
