The People of the Ship and Noah’s Ark:
In the word ﴿وَجَعَلْنٰهَا﴾, the pronoun in ﴿ها﴾ can also refer to the ship, as is evident from the translation. This means that after the flood, the ship remained anchored on Mount Judi for a long time. People continued to see it, and it served as a reminder of the flood of Noah and the fate of the sinful nation. And the pronoun in ﴿ها﴾ can also refer to the people of Noah in the entire story. In this case, it would mean that the rebellion of this nation and then the painful end of their rebellion was made by Us a lesson for all the people who came afterwards, so that people may take heed from this incident.
