Surah Hud (Hud) 11 : 44

وَقِيلَ يَٰٓأَرْضُ ٱبْلَعِى مَآءَكِ وَيَٰسَمَآءُ أَقْلِعِى وَغِيضَ ٱلْمَآءُ وَقُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَٱسْتَوَتْ عَلَى ٱلْجُودِىِّ ۖ وَقِيلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and it [i.e., the ship] came to rest on the [mountain of] Jūdiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."

Explanatory Note

The storm subsides, an air of calmness spreads, the matter is settled and God’s will is done. The words used here give the impression of something coming to a complete standstill. Thus the waters sank into the earth, and God’s will was done, and the ark came to rest.

The earth and the heavens are addressed as if they were human beings. Both comply with the commandment. The earth swallows up its water and the heaven stops raining. Furthermore, the earth’s surface was soon dry, as excess waters penetrated deep underground.

“The word was spoken: ‘Away with these evil-doing folk.’” (Verse 44) We are not told who said this, but it generates the impression that the whole affair need not be considered again. Let the evil-doers disappear beyond God’s mercy for they deserve to be expelled; let them be banished from memory, for they do not deserve to be remembered.

[ edit ]

If we consider its theme deeply we come to the conclusion that it was revealed during the same period as Surah 10: Yunus (Jonah) and most probably followed it immediately.
