Noah is called Nuh in the Quran’s account of the flood and the ark.
Nuh is the Arabic form of Noah’s name and is the name used for the prophet in the Quran and Islamic tradition. The Quran recounts that Nuh warned his people, built the ark under divine instruction, and survived the flood with believers and pairs of creatures. Several Quranic passages refer to his preaching, the ark, and the punishment of those who rejected the warning.
The Quranic account is not a chapter-by-chapter retelling of Genesis. It emphasizes Nuh’s role as a prophet and the response of his people to his message. One notable episode describes a son who refuses to board the ark and is overwhelmed by the waves, a detail not presented in the same form in Genesis.
Nuh is also associated with Surah 71, which is titled Nuh and focuses on his preaching. In English, translations generally use “Noah,” while transliterations of the Arabic name use “Nuh.”
