Noah in Islam

[4] Although he preached the Message of God with zeal, his people refused to mend their ways, leading to building the Ark and the Deluge, the Great Flood.

[9] According to the Qur'an, Noah was inspired by God like other prophets—such as Ibrāhīm (Abraham), Ismā'īl (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), Isa (Jesus), Ilyas (Elijah), Ayyub (Job), Harun (Aaron), Yunus (Jonah), Dawud (David) and Muhammad—and was a faithful messenger.

[10][11] He continuously warned the people of the painful doom that was coming and asked them to accept one God instead of worshipping idols such as Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq and Nasr.

Upon its completion, the ship is said to be loaded with pairs of every animal, and Noah's household,[15] and a group of believers who did submit to God.

Among Adam's descendants there were many brave and pious men, greatly loved and revered by their respective communities.

He would praise God consistently and he urged his people to do the same, warning his tribe of the punishment they would face if they did not mend their ignorant ways.

I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous Day.”Though a few were moved by Noah's words, the powerful and wealthy members of the tribe refused to hear his call.

[24][non-primary source needed] Secondly, the people were ignorant of the weak and lowly, who were frequently superior intellectually, morally and spiritually.

"[26] When Noah preached the faith of God to them, all they did was revile the messenger, abuse the Message, and refer to the whole warning as a lie.

[23] The Qur'an states that Noah prayed to God,[30] complaining that his preaching only made his people disbelieve further.

[31][non-primary source needed] Noah told God how they had obstinately refused to accept the message, so that the light of the truth should not affect their thinking.

[32][non-primary source needed] Noah told God how he had used all the resources of the classical preacher, conveying the message both in public places and with individuals in private.

Their conclusion was that he was surely a madman; they could not find any other reason why a man would build a huge vessel when no sea or river was nearby.

However, Ibn Kathir records him to have been the son of Lamech and grandson of Methuselah,[30] one of the patriarchs from the Generations of Adam.

Noah was neither the leader of the tribe nor a very rich man but, even before being called to prophecy, he worshiped God faithfully and was, in the words of the Qur'an, "a devotee most grateful".

[45][non-primary source needed] Noah's wife (Naamah) is referred to in the Qur'an as an evil woman.

Both were told, “Enter the Fire, along with the others!” In contrast, the wife of the Pharaoh of the Exodus, Asiya, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, are referred to as among the best of women.
