How many years after Hazrat Adam (A.S.) did the event of Toofan-e-Noah (Noah’s Flood) occur?

The event of Toofan-e-Noah (Noah’s Flood) is one of the most significant occurrences in Islamic history, symbolizing Allah’s warning against widespread disbelief, corruption, and immorality among humankind. According to Islamic tradition and historical chronology derived from scholarly sources, the Flood occurred approximately 2762 years after Hazrat Adam (A.S.). This timeline is based on the succession of generations from Adam (A.S.) to Prophet Nuh (A.S.), as recorded in classical Islamic and historical texts.

Prophet Nuh (A.S.) was sent to the people to guide them toward the worship of Allah and righteousness. However, his community largely rejected his message, persisting in idolatry, oppression, and sinful behavior. Allah instructed Nuh (A.S.) to build an ark, a large vessel designed to save the believers, including his family and pairs of animals, from the coming Flood. This monumental event demonstrates Allah’s justice, mercy, and control over nature, emphasizing that those who reject divine guidance face consequences, while the faithful are protected.

The Flood is described in detail in the Holy Qur’an, Surah Hud (11:25-49), Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:23-30), and Surah Al-Qamar (54:9-17). These verses highlight the destruction of the disbelievers, the preservation of Prophet Nuh (A.S.) and the believers, and the role of the ark as a symbol of salvation. The event also teaches lessons about patience, obedience, and the importance of preparing for divine commands.
