]١١[ ‫ِإ َّنا َلَّم ا َط َغ ا ٱْلَم ٓا ُء َح َم ْل َنٰـُك ْم ِف ى ٱْلَج اِر َيِة‬ Ibn Abbas and others said that ' ‫ 'َط َغ ا ٱْلَم آُء‬means
that water will increase in abundance.
Indeed, when the floodwater had

Surah Al-Haqqah, Verse 11 people, when they denied him and opposed him,
and they worshiped other than Allah.

So, Allah allowed his prayer and all the inhabitants of the earth to be flooded, except
for those who were with Prophet Noah AS in his ark.
All humans now come from the descendants of Prophet Noah AS.

Futuristic
Imagine in 20 years, the world will be pushed to more
weather extremes, forcing us to struggle with hyper-
damaging floods everyday - more frequent and violent
storms, much higher rainfall totals, bigger tides on top of
rising sea levels.

Alamiyyah
If we take a look at today’s society, many suffer the
immediate impacts of flooding. This includes loss of
human life, damage to property, destruction of crops,
and so much more.

Mu'asirah
Researchers from the World Bank, Deltares and UCL found
in a new study that almost one fourth of the world
population (1.81 billion people) live in locations that are
exposed to at least 0.15 meters of inundation depth in a 1-in-
100-year flood event.
According to the weather forecast issued by the Malaysian
Meteorological Department, it is expected that there will be
quite worrying rainfall starting from this September 2022 23%
until March next year, and the increase in
rainfall is expected to be the highest in
November 2022 involving the East Coast States
following the transition Monsoon.

Innovations

How can we prevent


flood damages?
To prevent the dangers of flooding, we must come up
with technologies or innovations. My proposal being;
‘The Water-Barrier’
The Water-Barrier is based on mangrove trees. We
know that the aerial roots of mangroves retain It’s the weight of the water that stops and
sediments and prevent erosion, while the roots, contains the water. Its unique design
allows the liquid to enter the fabric barrier
trunks and canopy reduce the force of oncoming and instantly stabilise it onto the ground.
waves and storm surge and thus reduce flooding.
Therefore, The Water-Barrier acts as a gate as
waves rush in from the ocean. It takes the brunt of
the storm’s force, absorbing the wave energy,
diminishing the height and intensity of the incoming
storm surge, and sheltering the inland areas from
flooding and storms.

Reflection
Based on the verse, the floods that are occuring in
Malaysia can be overcome by pre-flood management. As
the Malay proverb goes, "Prepare an umbrella before it
rains."
