Dispersal of Nuh’s sons (Nuh descended from Adam) in different directions

  1. According to Ibn, Abas, Ibn Kathir, and Ibn Jawsi, “The three sons of Nuh were Sam, who was medium dark skinned, Ham who was very dark skinned, and Japheth who was very light skinned. Sam and family became the forefather of the Arabs, Persians and Hebrews, starting in Iraq and moving through Arabian Peninsula and Persia.  Ham and family went southwest to Africa and became Ethiopians, Copts, Sudanese and Berbers (who went on to the Americas). Japheth’s children went both east and west, becoming Romans, Turks, Russians and Chinese.”

  2. At-Tabari, famous Muslim historian reports: “The children of Sam settled between Yemen and Syria, Allah SWT made prophets, revealed books, and made them beautiful and Nuh gave them the uninhabitable earth. The children of Ham settled in the south, Allah SWT gave them black complexions luminous and free of blemish, and Nuh gave them the coast of the sea. The children of Japheth settled towards the North. They were light, fair skinned and Nuh gave them the desert and the fields.”
