{{Six Islamic Prophets}}

Noah is praised by God in the Qur'an, which shows his great status amongst the prophets. In [[Quran 17|17:3]] of the Qur'an, God states: "He was indeed a grateful servant."<ref name="qur173">{{qref|17|3|b=y}}</ref> The Qur'an also states in a later chapter:
{{Blockquote|<poem>Indeed, Noah cried out to Us, and how excellent are We in responding!
We delivered him and his family from the great distress,
and made his descendants the sole survivors.
And We blessed him ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:
“Peace be upon Noah among all peoples.”</poem>|{{qref|37|75-79|c=y}}}}

And also in [[Quran 3|3:33]], the Qur'an states: "Indeed, [[Allah]] chose [[Adam in Islam|Adam]], Noah, the family of [[Abraham in Islam|Abraham]], and the family of [[Amram#In_the_Quran|’Imrân]] above all people ˹of their time˺.<ref>{{qref|3|33|b=y}}</ref>

===Story===
According to the Qur'an, Noah was inspired by God like other prophets—such as [[Abraham in Islam|Ibrāhīm]] ([[Abraham]]), [[Ishmael in Islam|Ismā'īl]] ([[Ishmael]]), [[Isaac in Islam|Ishaq]] ([[Isaac]]), [[Jacob in Islam|Ya'qub]] ([[Jacob]]), [[Jesus in Islam|Isa]] ([[Jesus]]), [[Islamic view of Elijah|Ilyas]] ([[Elijah]]), [[Job in Islam|Ayyub]] ([[Job (Biblical figure)|Job]]), [[Islamic view of Aaron|Harun]] ([[Aaron]]), [[Jonah in Islam|Yunus]] ([[Jonah]]), [[David in Islam|Dawud]] ([[David]]) and [[Muhammad in Islam|Muhammad]]—and was a faithful messenger. Noah had firm belief in [[tawhid]] (the oneness of God), and preached Islam (literally "submission," meaning [[Surrender (religion)|submission to God]]).<ref>{{qref|4|163|b=y}}, {{qref|26|105-107}}</ref><ref>{{Qtaf|en:ibk|4|163}}</ref>

He continuously warned the people of the painful doom that was coming and asked them to accept [[Tawhid|one God]] instead of [[Idolatry|worshipping idols]] such as [[Wadd]], [[Suwa']], [[Yaghuth]], [[Ya'uq]] and [[Nasr (idol)|Nasr]].<ref>{{qref|11|25|b=y}}, {{qref|29|14}}, {{qref|71|1-5}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} He called the people to serve God, and said that nobody but God could save them.<ref>{{qref|23|23|b=y}}</ref> He said that the time of the deluge was appointed and could not be delayed, and that the people had to submit to God.<ref>{{qref|7|59-64|b=y}}, {{qref|11|26}}, {{qref|26|105-110}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}}

God commanded Noah to build a ship, the [[Noah's Ark|Ark]], and as he was building it, the chieftains passed him and mocked him. Upon its completion, the ship is said to be loaded with pairs of every animal, and Noah's household,<ref>{{qref|11|35-41|b=y}}, {{Qtaf|en:ibk|11|40}}</ref> and a group of believers who did submit to God. The people who denied the message of Noah, including one of his [[Fourth son of Noah|own sons]], drowned.<ref>{{qref|7|64|b=y}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} The final resting place of the ship was referred to as "[[Mount Judi|Al-Jūdiyy]]"<ref>{{qref|11|44|b=y}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} or a "[[Al-Munzal Al-Mubârak|Munzalanm-Mubārakan]]" ({{langx|ar|مُنْزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا|Place-of-Landing Blessed}}).<ref name="qref|23|23-30|b=y">{{qref|23|23-30|b=y}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} Noah is called a grateful servant.<ref name="qur173"/><ref>{{Qtaf|en:ibk|17|3}}</ref> Both Noah and Abraham were taught the prophethood and the scripture.<ref>{{qref|57|26|b=y}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=September 2020}} According to Shi'a tafsir (exegesis), God commanded Noah to take all species that he needed on the ship. The commentary by Prophetic descendants explains the verse to mean eight animals.<ref>{{qref|11|40|b=y}}</ref><ref>[https://altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=4&tTafsirNo=110&tSoraNo=11&tAyahNo=40&tDisplay=yes&Page=5&Size=1&LanguageId=1 Tafsir Bahrani]</ref>
