Noah (peace be upon him) is the third father of humanity after Adam and Seth, and the father of prophets and other human beings, as Allah states: {And We made his progeny the sole survivors.} As for Abraham (peace be upon him), he is known as the Father of Prophets because all prophets who came after him were from his descendants.
