12. And We burst open the earth with springs, and the waters met for a matter [12] already decreed.

The Scene of Noah's Flood:
From above, a torrential, continuous, and unceasing rain began to fall. It seemed as if the sky had opened its gates. From below, water started to gush forth from the oven first. Then countless springs burst out, and it appeared as if the entire earth had turned into springs. Wherever one looked, water was gushing forth. This process continued uninterrupted for six months, and the water level rose so high that even small mountains were submerged, and the water reached the level that Allah Almighty had decreed.
