Noah’s name in the Arabic Qur’anic tradition is Nuh.
Nuh is the Arabic form used for the prophet known in English as Noah. The Qur’an presents Nuh as a messenger who calls his people to worship God, warns them of judgment, and builds the Ark by divine instruction. His story appears in several passages, including Surah Hud, Surah Al-Mu’minun, and the chapter named Surah Nuh.
The spelling “Noah” comes through Greek and Latin forms of the Hebrew name Noach, while “Nuh” reflects the Arabic form. They identify the same major figure in the traditions that use these names, but the surrounding narratives are not identical in every detail.
Nuh’s story in the Qur’an includes the Ark’s resting on Mount Judi and a strong emphasis on preaching and rejection. These details help distinguish the Islamic account from both Genesis and Mesopotamian flood literature.
