Hud's preaching to His People `Ad

Here Allah tells us about His servant and Messenger Hud, when he called his people `Ad. His people used to live in the Ahqaf, curved sand-hills near Hadramawt, on the borders of Yemen. They lived after the time of Nuh, as Allah says in Surat Al-A`raf:

Read in Context

Chapter 26, Page 372, Juz 19

123. The people of ’Âd rejected the messengers 124. when their brother Hûd said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺? 125. I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you. 126. So fear Allah, and obey me. 127. I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds. 128. ˹Why˺ do you build a landmark on every high place in vanity, 129. and construct castles, as if you are going to live forever, 130. and act so viciously when you attack ˹others˺? 131. So fear Allah, and obey me. 132. Fear the One Who has provided you with ˹the good˺ things you know: 133. He provided you with cattle, and children, 134. and gardens, and springs. 135. I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous day.” 136. They responded, “It is all the same to us whether you warn ˹us˺ or not. 137. This is simply the tradition of our predecessors. 138. And we will never be punished.” 139. So they rejected him, and ˹so˺ We destroyed them. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe. 140. And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
