Hud — هُود
ہود علیہ السلام
Also known as: —
Path — Straight Path | صراط مستقیم
Reason: Remained steadfast in calling his people; saved when they were destroyed
Story — English
Sent to the people of Aad — a powerful civilization in ancient Arabia known for their towering pillars and physical strength. They were arrogant about their power (‘Who is mightier than us?’). Hud called them to worship Allah alone, abandon arrogance, and stop oppressing others. They rejected and mocked him. Allah sent a violent wind that destroyed them for seven nights and eight days (69:6-7). Hud and the believers were saved.
کہانی — اردو
عاد قوم کی طرف بھیجے گئے — طاقتور اور متکبر لوگ۔ توحید کی دعوت دی، انہوں نے انکار کیا۔ سات راتیں آٹھ دن کی آندھی نے انہیں تباہ کر دیا۔ ہود اور مومنین بچ گئے۔
Lessons from the Quran
- Physical strength and civilization are no protection against divine punishment
- Arrogance about power (‘who is mightier than us?’) is particularly dangerous
- The caller’s duty is only to convey — results are with Allah
