In the Quran, by what name is Noah known?
Answer
Nuh
Answer
Nuh
In the Quran, Noah is known as Nuh. He is presented as a prophet who warns his people, calls them to worship God, and builds the Ark by divine instruction.
The Quran recounts Nuh's story in several surahs rather than in one continuous narrative identical to Genesis. Surah 11, Hud, includes an extended account of the Ark, the Flood, and one of Nuh's sons who refuses to board. Surah 71, Nuh, focuses especially on the prophet's preaching to his people.
Nuh is an Arabic form of the name traditionally associated with Noah. The surrounding details differ among Jewish, Christian, and Islamic interpretations, so a retelling from one tradition should not automatically be treated as a quotation from another. The name itself, however, is the standard Quranic designation.
