In the Quran, Noah is identified as the prophet Nuh.
Nuh is the Arabic form of Noah and is one of the prophets named in the Quran. His story appears in several passages, including Surah Hud and Surah Nuh, where he warns his people, calls them to worship God, and faces rejection.
The Quranic account shares the broad theme of a divinely sent flood with the Book of Genesis, but the details and emphasis differ. The Quran describes the ark, the boarding of believers, and the destruction of those who reject the warning. It also includes a distinctive episode involving one of Nuh’s sons, who refuses to board.
Using “Noah” for the biblical figure and “Nuh” for the Quranic prophet reflects language and tradition, not two unrelated characters. Nuh is the standard English transliteration of the Arabic name in Quranic studies.
