The Waters Recede

«وَقِيلَ يَا أَرْضُ ابْلَعِي مَاءَكِ وَيَا سَمَاءُ أَقْلِعِي وَغِيضَ الْمَاءُ وَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُودِيِّ»

"And it was said, 'O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold.' And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and the ship came to rest on Mount Judi." (Hud 11:44)

This is considered one of the most eloquent verses in the entire Quran.
