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.
