How Did Nuh Survive In water when waves were so high

Q:

Asalamualikum, I Wanted to know how many people Died At The The Time Of Nuh Due To the floods and Was An Asteroid responsible for the rising of The water levels And If The Whole Population Died, Then How Did Nuh Survive In the water when there waves were so high??

A:

Salaamun Alaykum,

The scientific details of the flood and how many people died are unknown. Prophet Nuh (as) survived on a ship that was not equipped to handle such high levels of water and that was part of the miracle as God protected him on that vessel despite that.
May you always be successful.
