Noah's Ark and the Mockery of His People:
Before the flood, Noah ؑ, following Allah Almighty's instructions, had built a very large ark with wooden planks and iron nails. Seeing this, his people mocked him, saying, "We are longing for drinking water, so where will you sail this ship? There is neither a river nor a sea nearby."
