Nūḥ[1] (Arabic: نوح, “Noah”) is the seventy-first chapter (surah) of the Quran and is composed of 28 verses (ayat).

It is centered around the Islamic prophet Nūḥ and his complaint about his people rejecting all warnings Allah gave them through Nuh.

In Verses 21–24, Nuh asks Allah to rid the world of the evildoers because they refused to abandon their idols and encourage others to do the same.

Nuh asks Allah to forgive the believers and to destroy the disbelievers because their faith will lead many astray.

The surah is entirely Meccan, meaning it was revealed while Muhammad was trying to create a Muslim community in Mecca and before he migrated to Madina.
