+==Tafsir Ibn Kathir==
+First, we will quote the whole commentary on the verse 68:1 from the English abridged version of the tafsir Ibn Kathir:
+{{Quote|Ibn Kathir, English abridged version, on the verse 68:1|}}
+There is nothing, because the translators decided not to translate anything he wrote about this verse.
+In the Arabic original, Ibn Kathir writes a lot about this verse.
+This is the definition of ن (Nun) in the tafsir:
+{{Quote|Ibn Kathir tafsir on 68:1 <ref>altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=7&tSoraNo=68&tAyahNo=1&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=1</ref>|نۤ حوت عظيم <br>
+* نۤ - ''noon'' - Nun
+* حوت - ''hoot'' - whale
+* عظيم - '''azeem'' - big
+'''Nun is a big whale.'''
+}}
+===Hadith from Ibn Abbas, the turjuman al-Qur'an===
+The Tafsir Ibn Kathir quotes At-Tabari, who quotes Ibn Abbas, who gave us some details about how the whale was created:
+{{Quote|Ibn Kathir tafsir on 68:1 <ref>altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=7&tSoraNo=68&tAyahNo=1&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=1</ref>|ابن عباس قال: أول ما خلق الله القلم قال: اكتب، قال: وماذا أكتب؟ قال: اكتب القدر، فجرى بما يكون من ذلك اليوم إلى قيام الساعة، ثم خلق النون، ورفع بخار الماء، ففتقت منه السماء، وبسطت الأرض على ظهر النون، فاضطرب النون، فمادت الأرض، فأثبتت بالجبال؛
+Ibn Abbas (ابن عباس) said: The first thing Allah created (خلق) was the pen (القلم). He ordered it to write. It said: What shall I write? He said: Write the fate (القدر). So it wrote what will happen from that day (اليوم) until the Day of judgement, then he created '''the Nun''' (النون, ''al-noon''), then he raised the water and created the heavens with it and laid the earth (الأرض) on (على) the back (ظهر) of the Nun, the Nun moved and so did the earth, so it was fixed down with mountains (بالجبال).
+}}
+The hadith (narration) by Ibn Abbas (collected by At-Tabari) is considered صحيح (sahih)<ref>http://hdith.com/?s=%D8%AB%D9%85+%D8%AE%D9%84%D9%82+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86+%D9%81%D9%88%D9%82+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%A1%D8%8C+%D8%AB%D9%85+%D9%83%D8%A8%D8%B3+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%B6+%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%87</ref>, that means authentic. All Muslims should believe in sahih hadiths. And they should especially believe in hadiths where Ibn Abbas explains Qur'anic verses, because Muhammad (pbuh) made du'a for Ibn Abbas, so that Allah teaches him the interpretation of the Qur'an. Ibn Abbas was also called ''turjuman ul-Qur'an'', because he had deep knowledge about the interpretation (''tarjama'') of the revelations.
+{{Quote|{{Bukhari|9|92|375}}|Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (raa): The Prophet (saws) embraced me and said, “O Allah! Teach him (the knowledge of) the Book (Quran).”}}
+His narration also explains why mountains are [[The Quran and Mountains|described as pegs]] in the Qur'an. It is because otherwise the earth would move on the back of the whale <ref>That is also supported by the tafsir Al-Jalalayn on the verse 78:7 "and the mountains pegs? with which the earth is tied down like tents are tied down with pegs the interrogative is meant as an affirmative."
+http://altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=1&tTafsirNo=74&tSoraNo=78&tAyahNo=7&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=2</ref>:
+{{Quote|{{Quran|78|6-7}}|
+:6 Have We not made the earth an even expanse?<br>
+:7 And the mountains as pegs?
+}}
+It also explains why Allah's throne is "on water" (because Allah created the heavens out of water):
+{{Quote|{{Quran|11|7}}|And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and '''His Throne had been upon water'''}}
