It is important to note that the Quran is a religious text and should be understood and interpreted within its religious and spiritual context. It is not intended to provide specific scientific or engineering information about ship size or wave survivability.
However, from a scientific and engineering perspective, it is highly unlikely that any ship, regardless of its size, could survive a wave the size of a mountain head-on. Waves of such immense magnitude would generate enormous forces and pressures that would be catastrophic for any vessel.
Even large ocean-going ships, such as oil tankers or container ships, typically have a maximum length of a few hundred meters (e.g., around 400 meters or 1,300 feet) and are not designed to withstand or navigate waves of mountainous proportions. The structural integrity, stability, and safety of ships are designed based on known environmental conditions and wave heights that vessels are expected to encounter.
Extreme waves, such as tsunamis or rogue waves, can reach significant heights, but they are highly localized events that are not sustained over long distances or durations. Even in the case of extreme waves, ships would typically attempt to avoid or navigate around them rather than confronting them head-on.
In summary, while the Quran may refer to exceptional events, it is important to consider the scientific and engineering realities when assessing the feasibility of ships surviving waves the size of mountains.
