42 Preface وَهِيَ تَجري بِهِم في مَوجٍ كَالجِبالِ وَنادىٰ نوحٌ ابنَهُ وَكانَ في مَعزِلٍ يا بُنَيَّ اركَب مَعَنا وَلا تَكُن مَعَ الكافِرينَYusuf AliSo the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains,1 and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): “O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!”The simile of mountains applies to the waves, which were mountain highliterally, for the peaks were being submerged.
