Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Muminoon : 27
فَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ اَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْیُنِنَا وَ وَحْیِنَا فَاِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَ فَارَ التَّنُّوْرُ١ۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَ اَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ١ۚ وَ لَا تُخَاطِبْنِیْ فِی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا١ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ
So, We sent Our revelation to him, saying, 'Make the ship under Our eyes and Our revelation. So, when Our command comes and the oven gushes forth, take on its board a pair of two from each (species) along with your family, except those of them against whom the word has already passed. And do not speak to Me (in favour) of those who did wrong. They are sure to be drowned.
وَفَارَ‌ التَّنُّورُ‌ (And the oven gushes forth - 23:27). The word تَّنُّور‌ means oven which is used for making flat, round bread, and is also used in the sense of the whole earth. According to some people تَّنُّور‌ is a specific oven in the Kufah mosque, while others believe that it was somewhere in Syria. Sayyidna Nuh (علیہ السلام) was informed by Allah that when water began boiling forth from the تَّنُّور‌ (oven) that would be the sign of the coming of the Deluge (Mazhari). The story of Sayyidna Nuh (علیہ السلام) ، the Deluge and his Ark has been reported in some earlier Surahs (See Volume 4, p. 626 to 643).
