Tafsir of verse 42
Al-Mukhtasar
The Ark sailed with the people and animals in it, through the great waves like mountains. Noah (peace be upon him) called to his son, who did not believe, and who was isolated from his father and his people in some place. Noah told him to believe, and to get onto the Ark with them so that he would be saved from the Flood; and he told him not to be with the disbelievers, or he would be drowned as they would be.
As it sailed with them through waves like mountains, Noah called out to his son22, who had kept himself apart, “O my son, come aboard with us, and do not be with the disbelievers.”
