Prophet Hud
translated by Syed Haider Hussain Shamsi
Prophet Hud was bom to Shaleh in the fifth generation from Nuh. He was appointed as the messenger from Allah to the people known
as Aa'd. These people were a
tall and sturdy race. They had abandoned the worship of Allah in favor of idols hewed
from stone. Hud preached them
the true path for salvation and
reminded them of the
benevolences that their Creator
had bestowed them without their
asking. But they refused
to pay attention.
Hud warned them of
the punishment Allah could
unleash over them for their
disobedience. They arrogantly rejected his warnings. They thought that no such punishment could ever come over them. They had forgotten the story of the terrible deluge that had come
over the people of Nuh for their
rejecting of the teachings of
their prophet. At first they had to endure a total
drought for three years. When Hud
tried to ask for their subjugation, they taunted him: "Go ahead
and do whatever you could,
because we consider you only a
fool."
When Allah saw those people 'paid no
heed to His signs, a terrible
storin overtook them for an
overwhelming duration of eight
days. There was an utter darkness, and
debris flew in all directions. The whole nation
of these arrogant people
perished, and Hud and only a
small group of believers were
saved by the Grace and
benevolence of Allah.
He is known as A'eeber or A'aber in
Torah.
