ترجمة الآية 77 من سورة As-saffat - English - سورة الصافات : عدد الآيات 182 - - الصفحة 449 - الجزء 23.
And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
(37:77) and made his offspring the only ones to survive, *42
*42) This can have two meanings: (1) That the progeny of the people who were opposing the Prophet Noah was made extinct and the Prophet Noah's progeny alone was allowed to survive; and (2) that the whole human race was made extinct, and only the Prophet Noah's progeny was allowed to inhabit the earth after that. The commentators generally have adopted this second meaning, but the words of the Qur'an are not explicit in this regard and no one knows the reality except Allah.
