In the Quran, Nuh is the prophet associated with building the Ark before the Flood.
Nuh is the Arabic name for Noah, and the Quran presents him as a messenger who warns his people to worship God. When they reject his warning, God instructs him to construct the Ark under divine guidance. The Quran recounts the Flood in several surahs, including Hud, Al-Mu'minun, Ash-Shu'ara, and Nuh.
The Quranic account shares broad features with Genesis, such as the warning, the vessel, the Flood, and the survival of believers. It also differs in emphasis and detail. For example, Surah Hud describes one of Nuh's sons refusing to board and being overwhelmed by the waves.
Islamic tradition therefore treats Nuh as a prophet, not only as a figure in an ancient survival narrative. “Nuh” is the canonical Quranic name, while “Noah” is the familiar English biblical form.
