Among the stories that make up two-thirds of the Quran, the story of the ul alazm prophets have an important place. Sufis also benefited from the exemplary and advice-filled content of the stories of the Quran. In this article, the stories of the prophet Noah in the Qur'an will be examined in the context of the ishari tafseer. In terms of their interpretation of the Qur'an, Sufi commentaries differ from tafsir and ta'wîl with their unique methodology. On the basis of this method, there is information obtained based on discovery and inspiration beside reason and transmission. Here, within the limits of our article, we will try to determine the approach of the sufis to the stories in the Qur'an in the context of the story of Noah. In order to see the course of the subject in sufi thought, first of all, how Noah is addressed in sufism classics will be emphasized. Later, the interpretations of prominent ishari commentaries on the verses about Noah and his story will be recorded. Thus, the contribution of the sufis to the interpretations of the story of prophet Noah in the tradition of Islamic sciences will be revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
