HOW DO THE UNWISE INTERPRET THE QUR'AN?

you. Worship none but God. I fear for you the
punishment of a painful day.' (Surah Hud: 25-26)

Those who were destroyed were those who denied and
insisted on opposing the revelations of the Prophet Noah. The
Qur'anic verses that deal with that subject leave no room for any
argument:
But they denied him so We rescued him and those
with him in the Ark. And We drowned the people who
denied Our Signs. They were a blind people. (Surat al-
A'raf: 64)

So We rescued him and those with him by mercy
from Us, and We cut off the last remnant of those
who denied Our Signs and were not believers. (Surat
al-A'raf : 72)
We can see the Qur'an states that only the people of the
Prophet Noah were destroyed, and not the whole world. When
the Qur'anic verses are so obvious, to argue that the flood of Noah
mentioned in the Qur'an was universal has no other aim than to
confuse and trick the uninformed.
The fact that the logical deficiencies and superstitions that exist
in the altered, story and myth-filled Torah and the Gospel do not
exist in the Qur'an, but that corrected and factual versions do, is
yet another piece of evidence that it was sent by God.
It is not possible for the Qur'an to refer to the flood as a

universal event for yet another reason; God states that a nation will
not perish unless it has been sent a messenger. Destruction will
take place if the people in question have been sent a messenger to
warn and guide them, but they reject him. This is related in Surat
al-Qasas:
