In the Quran, Nuh is the Arabic name of the prophet associated with the Flood and the Ark.
Nuh is the Quranic form of the name commonly rendered Noah in English. The Quran presents him as a messenger who warns his people to worship God, but many reject his message. God then instructs him to make the Ark and preserve believers and pairs of creatures.
The Quran mentions Nuh in several surahs, including a chapter named Surah Nuh. Its account emphasizes preaching, rejection, divine judgment, and the consequences of disbelief. Some details differ from Genesis, including the Quranic episode involving one of Nuh’s sons who refuses to board the Ark.
Nuh is also important in Islamic tradition as one of the major prophets. Transliteration can vary, but “Nuh” is the standard concise English rendering of the Arabic name.
