In the Qur'an, what does Noah's Ark come to rest upon after the Flood?
Answer
Mount Judi
Answer
Mount Judi
In the Qur’an, Noah’s Ark comes to rest upon Mount Judi after the Flood.
Surah Hud 11:44 describes the water subsiding and the ark settling on al-Judi. In English, this is commonly rendered as Mount Judi or Mount Cudi. The Qur’anic account is related to the biblical Flood story but has its own wording, emphases, and geographic designation.
A frequent mix-up comes from treating “Ararat” as the universal name in every tradition. Genesis refers to the mountains of Ararat, while the Qur’an names Judi. Mount Judi is generally associated with the Cudi Dağı area in southeastern Turkey, near the borders of Iraq and Syria. This difference reflects distinct textual traditions rather than a simple translation change within one passage.
