MCQ Detailed View

Hazrat Noah (A.S), known as Nūḥ in the Qur’an and Islamic tradition, is among the earliest and most significant Prophets. His real name, as preserved in Islamic sources and scholarly tradition, is “Nūḥ” (نوح), which is both his name and title. There is no authentic Islamic evidence suggesting his name was Abdul-Ghaffaar, Mutallib, or Sufyan. Hence, the correct answer is “None of these.”

Hazrat Nūḥ (A.S) was sent to his people to call them toward monotheism and warn them against idolatry. He preached for 950 years (as stated in Surah Al-Ankabut: 14), showing patience and perseverance. Despite his efforts, only a small group followed him. The rest were eventually destroyed in the great flood, from which Hazrat Nūḥ (A.S) and the believers were saved aboard the ark.

The name “Nūḥ” is mentioned multiple times in the Qur’an and is also the title of the 71st chapter — Surah Nūḥ. His legacy as a Prophet of perseverance, faith, and trust in Allah makes him one of the five greatest Prophets known as Ulul Azm.
