Mount Judi is the resting place of the
Ark built by Nuh (upon him be peace) by the command of Allah. It is situated in
south-east Turkey, close to the Syrian and Iraqi borders. The Quranic account
of the Flood and Noah’s Ark agrees with that given in the Bible, with a few
variations. One of these concerns the final resting place of the Ark. According
to Genesis, the Ark grounded on the “mountains of Ararat”; while according to
Surah 11:44 of the Qur’an, the final resting place of the vessel was called Mount
Judi:
“Then the word went forth: “O earth! Swallow up
thy water, and O sky! Withhold (thy rain)!” and the water abated, and the
matter was ended. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: “Away
with those who do wrong!” [11:44]
The picture above is believed to be the current
remains of the Ark on the mountain.
