What Quran Says About Prophet Hud and the People of Ad

The Holy Quran includes an entire chapter named after Prophet Hud, known as Surah Hud. In addition, the Quran mentions him in several other chapters, mainly in relation to his message to the people of ‘Ād.

According to the Quran, the wealthy but polytheistic people of ‘Ād rejected Prophet Hud’s warnings. Although he repeatedly advised them to change their ways, they ignored his message. As a result, Allah destroyed their city, sparing only the righteous believers.

The Quran states in Surah Ash-Shu‘araa (Chapter 26), from Ayat 123 to 140:

The (people of) ‘Ād rejected the messengers

when their brother Hūd said to them, “Do you not fear Allah?

I am an honest messenger for you,

so fear Allah and obey me.

I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds.

Do you erect on every height a monument, having no sound purpose,

and take the objects of architecture as if you are going to live forever,

and when you seize (someone) you seize as tyrants?

So fear Allah and obey me.

And fear the One who has supported you with what you know.

He has supported you with cattle and sons,

and with gardens and springs.

In fact I fear for you the punishment of a horrible day.”

They said, “It is all equal for us, whether you give us advice or you do not become one of the advisors.

This is nothing but the practice of the ancient,

and we are not going to be punished.”

Thus they rejected him, so We destroyed them. Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers,

and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

The Lost City of Ubar

The Lost City of Ubar, also known as Wubar, was discovered a few years ago. Many historians believe this site represents the ancient city of the people of ‘Ād. In the past, traders used this city as an important stop along the frankincense caravan routes.

The ruins lie about 170 kilometers north of Salalah, just before reaching the Empty Quarter Oman. Today, visitors can find the site in the Al Shisr area.
