In the Islamic tradition, Noah, the prophet associated with the Ark, is called Nuh. Nuh is the Arabic form used in the Quran and in Islamic religious writing.
The Quran recounts Nuh’s preaching, the rejection of many people, the construction of the Ark, and the Flood. Surah Hud and Surah Al-Mu’minun are among the passages that discuss the story, while Surah Nuh focuses especially on his preaching to his people.
Islamic accounts share important elements with Genesis but are not identical in wording or emphasis. The Quran describes Nuh as a messenger who warns his people, and it includes a dramatic episode involving one of his sons who refuses to board the Ark and is overcome by the waves.
Nuh should not be confused with Hud, Salih, or Lut, who are also prophets named in the Quran. The spelling “Noah” is common in English translations, while “Nuh” is the standard transliteration of the Arabic name.
