Which mountain does the Quran name as the resting place of Noah’s Ark?
Answer
Mount Judi
Answer
Mount Judi
The Quran names Mount Judi as the resting place of Noah’s Ark.
In Quran 11:44, the floodwaters subside and the ark is said to come to rest on al-Judi. The name is commonly rendered in English as Mount Judi or Mount al-Judi. This differs from the location most familiar in some later Christian and popular traditions, which associate the ark with Mount Ararat.
The Quranic account shares major elements with Genesis, including Noah’s warning, the flood, and the ark’s rescue of believers, but it has its own wording and emphases. The mountain name is therefore a useful example of how related flood traditions can preserve different geographic details.
Mount Judi is generally identified with a mountain in southeastern Turkey, near the borders of Iraq and Syria. Claims that the ark has been physically discovered remain unverified.
