In the Quran, on which location did Noah’s Ark come to rest?
Answer
Mount Judi
Answer
Mount Judi
In the Quran, Noah’s Ark comes to rest on Mount Judi.
Quran 11:44 describes the flood subsiding and the ark settling on al-Judi. The Quranic account differs in details and emphasis from Genesis, although both traditions feature Noah, a divinely commanded vessel, a flood, and the preservation of selected life.
Mount Judi is traditionally identified with Cudi Dağı in southeastern Turkey, near the borders of modern Turkey and Iraq. This is distinct from Mount Ararat, which is the mountain most commonly associated with the biblical phrase “the mountains of Ararat.” The two locations are often blended together in popular retellings.
The Quran also presents Noah as a prophet who warns his people and calls them toward faith. Its flood narrative appears in several passages, including Surah Hud, Surah al-Mu’minun, and Surah Nuh. The specific resting place al-Judi is stated in Surah Hud 11:44.
