What is Noah called in the Quran?

In the Quran, Noah is called Nuh.

Nuh is one of the prophets named in the Quran and is presented as a messenger who warned his people to worship God. The Quran recounts that he preached for a very long period, but many of his people rejected his warning. God then instructed him to construct a ship before the flood.

The Quranic account shares important elements with Genesis, including Noah’s preaching, the vessel, the flood, and the rescue of believers. It also differs in emphasis and detail. For example, the Quran describes one of Noah’s sons refusing to board and being overwhelmed by the water, whereas Genesis presents Noah’s sons as entering the ark with him.

Islamic tradition generally calls Noah Nuh and regards him as an important prophet. The Arabic form is not a separate flood hero from the biblical Noah; it is the name used in Islamic scripture and scholarship for the same major religious figure.
