Noah, also known as Nuh (Arabic: نُوحٌ, romanized: Nūḥ), [1] is recognized in Islam as a prophet and messenger of God. He is also believed to be the first messenger sent by God. [2] He is one of the Ulul 'azm prophets. [3] Noah's mission was to warn his people, who were plunged in idol worshipping.

Modern scholarship has long posited an origin for the sabab al-nuzūl based largely on its function within exegesis. William Montgomery Watt, for example, stressed the narratological significance of these types of reports: "The Quranic allusions had to be elaborated into complete stories and the background filled in if the main ideas were to be impressed on the minds of simple men."
The Qur'an has been translated into most major African, Asian and European languages from Arabic.
