Which Quran chapter is named after Noah?
Answer
Surah Nuh
Answer
Surah Nuh
Surah Nuh is the Quran chapter named after Noah.
Surah Nuh is the 71st chapter of the Quran and is named for the prophet Nuh, the Arabic form of Noah. The chapter focuses on Nuh’s preaching to his people, his repeated calls for them to seek forgiveness, and their rejection of his warning. It is a relatively short chapter consisting of 28 verses.
The Quran also discusses Noah and the Ark in other passages, including Surah Hud and Surah Al-Mu’minun. Surah Nuh is therefore not the only Quran chapter containing material about him; it is the chapter whose title is specifically his name.
Islamic accounts of Noah share the broad Flood theme with Genesis but differ in details and emphasis. The Quran presents Nuh primarily as a messenger who warns his people. The chapter title uses “Nuh,” not the English transliteration “Noah.”
