In the Quran, what was the name of Noah’s ark’s landing place after the flood?

The story behind the answer

In the Quran, Noah’s ark comes to rest on Mount Judi. Surah Hud 11:44 describes the water receding and the vessel settling on al-Judi, commonly rendered in English as Mount Judi.

The Quranic account shares broad themes with Genesis, including Noah’s warning, the flood, the ark, and the vessel’s eventual landing. Its named landing place differs from Genesis, which says the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. These are distinct scriptural references and should not be merged into one location.

Mount Judi is traditionally identified with a mountain in southeastern Turkey near the borders of Iraq and Syria. The Quran also includes details not presented in the same way in Genesis, such as Noah’s exchange with a son who refuses to board. The answer refers specifically to the Quranic account.
