NOAH'S ARK
It is mentioned in the history of the Deluge, as recorded in the Quran, in two places- Surah xi (89) and Surah xxiii (27). Al-Baizuwi says that Noah was two years building the ark, which was 300 cubits long, 50wids, and 30broad, and which was made of Indian plane-tree; that is consisted of three storey’s, the lowest for beasts, the middle for men and women (who were separated for each other) ,and the highest for birds. The ark is said to have rested in the mountain Al Judi.  

NAMAZ - SALAT
Namaaz is a meeting point with Allah, and it is a gift to the people of Islam . Namaz is preceded by ritual ablution and usually performed five times ( Farz ) a day.The life of man is full of signs that indicate the search for truth in order to reach the Creator of the universe. These signs are the consequence of our natural inclinations to believe and worship. These are innate and set in the nature of mankind. Those then who remain deprived of the (Divine) Reality and truth, and go astray by deifying a powerless being who cannot satisfy their true natural needs, as has been seen both in the past and present, end up following unreasonable and illogical paths.So, prayer is an appeal to the Lord by His servant. It is an invocation.
Allah says in the Qur'an:".. Establish regular prayer for celebrating My Praise." (Taha 20: 14).And again the secret of the verse "Then do you remember Me; I will remember you!.." (Baqara 2: 152)
