In the Qur'an Noah is portrayed as prophet teaching against idolatry even before the flood. http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/071.qmt.html
== Qur'an 17:22-36 ==
# Qur'an 17:22, 23 017.022
Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution.
# Qur'an 17:23 Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.
# Qur'an 17:32 Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).
# Qur'an 17:33 Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).
# Qur'an 17:34 Come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength; and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
# Qur'an 17:35 Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination.
# Qur'an 17:36 And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
== Qur'an 17:22-36 and the "Ten Commandments" ==
It is interesting that only seven of if these verse correspond to the "Ten Commandments" , only seven of them appear in the Qur'an 17:22-36:
Possible connection between the Qur'an 17:22-36 and the "Ten Commandments":
# Qur'an 17:22, 23 You shall have no other Gods before me (1st commandment)
# Qur'an 17:23 Honour your father and your mother (5th commandment)
# Qur'an 17:32 You shall not commit adultery (7th commandment)
# Qur'an 17:33 You shall not kill (6th commandment)
# Qur'an 17:32 34 You shall not commit adultery covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.... manservant.... maidservant.... his ox.... his ass...anything that is your neighbor’s (7th 10th commandment)
# Qur'an 17:35 You shall not steal (8th commandment)
# Qur'an 17:36 You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor (9th commandment)
# Qur'an 17:34 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.... manservant.... maidservant.... his ox.... his ass...anything that is your neighbor’s (10th commandment)
The second, third and fourth commandments (You shall not make unto thee any graven image or likeness of any thing. You shall not take the name of the L-rd your G-d in vain. Remember the Sabbath day) were left out perhaps as not being applicable to Islam, being particular to Judaism. The key may be in Qur'an 15:87 “..We have given you seven (sections) of mesaniy and this great Qur'an..” Perhaps these seven were derived by Qur'an from Noahide law instead.
# Qur'an 17:22, 23 Avodah zarah - Do not worship false gods. (1st Noahide law)
# Qur'an 17:23 Ever min ha-chai - Do not eat of any living animal (6th Noahide law)???
# Qur'an 17:32 Gilui arayot - Do not be sexually immoral (4th Noahide law)
# Qur'an 17:33 Shefichat damim - Do not murder. (2nd Noahide law)
# Qur'an 17:32 Gilui arayot 34 Dinim - Do not be sexually immoral Set up a system of honest, effective courts, police and laws. (4th 7th Noahide law)
# Qur'an 17:35 Gezel - Do not steal or kidnap (3rd Noahide law)
# Qur'an 17:34 Dinim - Set up a system of honest, effective courts, police and laws. (7th Noahide law)
The Qur'anic word "mesani" is the same word as the Hebrew word "mishna" (repetition), and probably derived from the hebrew.
