We Carried You in the Ship
إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلۡمَآءُ حَمَلۡنَٰكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡجَارِيَةِ ١١
Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
When the water overflowed, We carried you in the ship.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, in Noah’s flood, while the deniers were uprooted, you were not; you were preserved, carried in the loins of your believing ancestors.
Reflect
Give thanks for your ancestors’ faith and pray for them.
