Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey, located on the borders of Iran, Armenia, and Nakchivan, is traditionally considered the landing place of Noah's ark after the biblical flood, even though Noah's ark has not been proven to have existed. In Islam, Noah is considered a major prophet who was ordered by God to build an ark and gather animal pairs after people became sinful and idol worshippers, ignoring Noah's call to worship God alone, including his own son. To commemorate the provision of food during the flood, Muslims make a pudding called aşure every year that Noah first made by gathering all available food together.

2. Even If Noah’s Ark Is Not Proven,
Noah’s Ark Still Could Have Landed
On Mount Ararat
 Mount Ararat is located in Eastern Turkey on the
borders of Iran, Armenia (formerly U.S.S.R.), and
Nakchivan.

3. Noah (Nuh) is one of the five
principal prophets of Islam.
Man became sinful and wicked, worshipped
idols. So Noah was sent to the evil man by God
(Allah).

4. Noah called the man to worship God, but
even his son did not follow him. They made
fun of him, and punished him.
Noah was sad and cursed them. He
complained them to God.
God ordered him to make an ark and to
complain any more. Because they were
going to be drowned by the flood.

9. The people were hungry with a little food. Noah
told them to put all the food they have together.
So the first “aşüre”
(pudding made with
cereals, sugar, and
raisins) was cooked.
Muslims cook aşure every year. It is delicious.
