The story of the Prophet Noah, his preaching and warning of the consequences of sin and depravity as a prophet of God is in the Islamic Quran. In the Islamic story, Noah builds the Ark to avoid the punishing flood sent by God and the story is much as it is in the Bible which predated the Quran. In Islam, Noah's brother is a non believer who does not get on the ark and perishes in the flood. But the story is also part of many other religions which predate both the Bible and the Quran (and the teachings of Jesus and Mohammed). And the story of Noah being commanded by God to build the Ark to save those who are following the true path are in some Buddhist texts such as the Samudda-Vanja Jataka.
