In the Quran, the biblical figure Noah is called Nuh.
Nuh is the Arabic form of Noah and is regarded in Islam as a prophet and messenger. The Quran recounts his preaching, his people’s rejection, and the saving of believers in the vessel associated with the Flood. His story appears in several passages, including the surah named Nuh and accounts in Surahs Hud, Al-Mu’minun, and Ash-Shu’ara.
The Quranic account overlaps with Genesis in its central flood theme but differs in emphasis and detail. Nuh warns his people and calls them to worship God, while the narrative also includes a son who refuses to board the vessel and is swept away. That episode is not part of the Genesis account in the same form.
Nuh should not be confused with other major Quranic prophets such as Ibrahim, Musa, or Yusuf. English translations commonly retain the form Noah, but the Arabic Quran uses Nuh.
