In the Quran, the prophet identified with Noah is called Nuh.
Nuh is one of the prophets of Islam and appears in several Quranic passages. The Quran describes him warning his people, preaching for a long period, and building a ship by divine command. The flood account is especially prominent in Surah Hud and Surah Nuh, while other references occur elsewhere in the Quran.
Islamic and biblical accounts share major elements, including a prophet, a warning, a vessel, and a devastating flood. They also differ in important details. In the Quran, one of Nuh’s sons refuses to board and is swept away, whereas Genesis presents Noah’s sons as surviving with him.
The spelling “Nuh” is a transliteration from Arabic. English readers may also encounter “Noah” when discussing the same figure across religious traditions, but “Nuh” is the canonical Quranic name.
