الجودي
al-Jūdī
Place
The mountain on which the Quran says Noah’s ark came to rest.
What it means
“It was said: ‘O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold’; the water subsided, the matter was decided, and the ship came to rest on al-Judi” (11:44). The Quran names no site on the map, and the name Judi is applied by tradition to a mountain in the Kurdish region of the upper Tigris.
