Islamic View of Noah - Noah's Wife

Noah's Wife

Noah's wife (Naamah) is referred to in the Qur'an as an evil woman. When God emphasizes upon the notion that everyone is for themselves on the Day of Judgement and that marital relations will not be to your aid when the judgement takes place, the Qur'an says:

Allah sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: "Enter ye the Fire along with (others) that enter! —Qur'an, sura 66, (At-Tahrim), ayah 10

In contrast, the wife of the Pharaoh of the Exodus, Asiah and Mary, the mother of Jesus are referred to the most of women. This adds to the notion that, on the Last Day, everyone will be judged according to their own deeds.
