Noah heeded the Word of the Almighty God - but does that make him a prophet?
Noah appears in the oldest existant original version of the Hebrew Scriptures ever found, in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Discovered near the Salt (Dead) Sea in the 1940-s and 1950's by Bedouin.
Many academic international bodies are researching the Dead Sea scrolls to this day.
Dating by scientific methods of the Scrolls dates them at 150-200 BCE, or approximately 2162-2212 years old.
These scrolls, just as in the same Masoretic Jewish Scriptures of today, place the story of Noah in the First Book of Moses, referred to by Christians as Genesis, or in the original Hebrew as Bereshit.
Hebrew Prophets are men in direct communicatin with the Deity who prophesy about events to happen in the future, and prophesy or rather relate to others, messages from God.
In the original story about him, in Bereshit/Genesis, Noah is not a prophet, he is part of the story of mankind, a predecessor of Abraham.
In the Koran, which was written approximately 1,800 years after the Books of Moses, (or, 750 years after the Dead Sea Scrolls were written) Noah's being in communication with God/Allah has him defined as a Prophet, one of the 5 important ones in Islam. He is a good prophet as he obeys God.
