(English Noah or Noe, Noach; Hebrew: נוֹחַ or נֹחַ, Standard Nóaḥ Tiberian Nōªḥ ; Arabic: نوح, Nūḥ ; "Rest" ) was the tenth and last of the antediluvian Patriarchs. His story is contained in the Hebrew Bible (Torah)'s book of Genesis, chapters 5-9. While the Deluge and Noah's Ark are the best-known elements of the story of Noah, he is also mentioned as the "first husbandman" and the inventor of wine, as well as in an episode of his drunkenness and the subsequent Curse of Ham. The story of Noah was the subject of much elaboration in the later Abrahamic traditions, and was immensely influential in Western culture.
In Islam, Noah is considered a sincere prophet of Allah, widely respected by Muslims. There are several verses in the Quran describing Noah's life. According to the Islamic point of view, he is among the five ulul'azm prophets and followed God's instructions to invite people. He held the prophethood for around 950 years, and during this time only a few people accepted his invitation.
