In the Quran, what is Noah’s name in Arabic?
Answer
Nuh
Answer
Nuh
In the Quran, Noah’s name in Arabic is Nuh.
Nuh is the Quranic form of the figure known as Noah in English-language Bibles and general discussion. He is a prophet whose people reject his warning, after which God saves Nuh and the believers with him in an Ark.
The Quran mentions Nuh in several chapters, including Surah Hud, Surah al-Mu’minun, and the dedicated Surah Nuh. Quranic retellings emphasize his preaching, the rejection by his people, and God’s judgment. They do not simply reproduce every detail of the Genesis account.
Nuh should not be confused with other Quranic prophets such as Hud, Lut, or Yusuf. Those are distinct figures with separate narratives. The Arabic name is short and commonly transliterated as Nuh, though transliteration systems can represent Arabic vowels and consonants in slightly different ways.
