In the Quran, Nuh is the prophet who builds the Ark. Nuh is the Arabic form of Noah, and the Quran presents him as a messenger who warns his people before the flood.
The Quran recounts Nuh’s story in several surahs, including Surah 11, Surah 23, Surah 26, Surah 54, and Surah 71. The account emphasizes his preaching, the rejection he faces, and God’s rescue of believers aboard the Ark.
Islamic and biblical accounts share the central figure and flood theme but differ in details and emphasis. The Quran does not simply reproduce every detail in Genesis; it gives its own theological presentation of Nuh’s mission, the Ark, and the destruction of those who reject the warning.
