   After Hadhrat Nabi Nooh (alayhis salaam) and his small band of Muslims had embarked on the Ship, it began  sailing. Mountainous waves began buffeting and tossing the ship. The water started boiling and the tar holding the timber began melting. As water  began to rush into the Ship, Allah Azza Wa Jal revealed to Nabi Nooh (alayhis salaam)  one of His Beautiful Name, and instructed him to recite it.

   As soon as he had recited the Ism of Allah Ta’ala, the tar solidified by the barkat of the Name. In the language of Nabi Nooh (alayhis salaam), the Ism was Ahyan-Ashraahiyan which is the equivalent of Ya Hayyo-Yaqayyoomo (O Thou The Eternal - The Self-Subsisting). This Name of Allah Ta’ala also appears in the Tauraah. A drowning person reciting this blessed Name will be saved.

  When Hadhrat Nabi Ibraaheem (alayhis salaam) was cast into the fire, Allah Ta’ala  revealed this Name to him. Thus the fire became cool and peaceful.             

   When Nabi Ibraaheem (alayhis salaam) left Haajirah (alayhas salaam) and the infant, Nabi Ismaaeel (alayhis salaam) alone in the barren desert of Makkah, he taught  her this Name of Allah Ta’ala. When extreme thirst and hardship overtook the mother and the infant, she supplicated to Allah Ta’ala with this Name. Thus the Zam Zam water  began gushing from the ground.
