details

Assalamu alaikum. I am curious about the story of Noah's Ark, from the Islamic perspective. I think the conventional story of the prophet Noah(PBUH) bringing all the animals of the world together is a bit strange, because, there are several animals which live in different parts of the world. For example,  polar bears live only in Antarctica. But how could the prophet Noah(PBUH) go to Antarctica at that time? I hope you can clarify this matter.

As Salam AlaikumWith regards to making supplications, should I describe in details everything that I want i.e. about my needs in this world and hereafter? This would cover many things, my study, my life, my future marriage, my family and of course to be saved from hell fire. Or should I just supplicate for Allah to grant me the best for my every wish without telling the details? I'm afraid of two things if I tell the details, one it will take long time and second, by describing every detail I would get distracted. Furthermore I am truly unable to describe every detail too. Is it a requirement when making supplication to supplicate in a very particular and detail way of our needs?Jazakallah Khairan
