Noah is called Nuh in the Quran’s flood narrative.
Nuh is one of the major prophets in Islam. The Quran describes him warning his people, calling them to worship God, and receiving instructions to build an ark before the flood. The Arabic name Nuh corresponds to Noah in English-language biblical tradition.
The Quran’s account shares major elements with Genesis, including the ark, the flood, unbelieving people, and the survival of believers. It also differs in emphasis and detail. For example, the Quran describes one of Nuh’s sons refusing to board the ark and being overwhelmed by the flood, while Genesis presents Noah’s sons as surviving with him.
Nuh is mentioned in multiple Quranic passages, including Surah 11, Surah 23, Surah 26, Surah 54, and Surah 71. Surah 71 is named after him and focuses on his preaching.
