— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions. Then when Our command comes and the oven bursts ˹with water˺,1 take on board a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed. And do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

So We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and the oven overflows,1 put into it [i.e., the ship] from each [creature] two mates and your family, except him for whom the decree [of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.'

— Saheeh International

Surely in this are lessons.1 And We ˹always˺ put ˹people˺ to the test.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].

— Saheeh International
