41. And a sign for them is that We carried their offspring in a laden ship [40].
[40] The "laden ship" refers to the ship that Sayyiduna Nuhؑ built before the flood according to Allah’s instructions. In it, besides Sayyiduna Nuhؑ, all the believers, their provisions for food and drink, and a pair of every kind of living creature were loaded. This filled the ship, and it was as if the entire human race was loaded in it, because all the humans present today are the descendants of those who were aboard that ship.
