Waves

S 10:22 He is the one who makes you roll round on the land and the sea until when you are on the ships and they run with them with a good wind and they rejoice therein, a stormy wind comes to them and the waves come to them from every place and they think that they are surrounded by them. They have invoked Allah sincerely towards him in religion: If you save us from this, we will be of the grateful.

S 11:43 He said: I shall look for shelter on a mountain; it will grant me full protection from the water. He said: There is no protector today from Allah’s command except whom he has had mercy on. And the waves passed between them and he was of the drowned.

Does the Quran Teach a Local Flood?

The Flood

S 24:40 Or like darknesses in a deep sea. A wave above it, a wave above it covers it, a cloud, darknesses. Some of them above others. When he has taken his hand out he has barely seen it. And he whom Allah has not made light for has no light.

Clouds

Darknesses

S 31:32 And when a wave like shadows covered them they invoked Allah being sincere towards him in religion. But when he saved them to the land, among them one frugal. And none renounces our verses but every treacherous, ungrateful man.
