And unto (the tribe of) Aad (We sent) their brother, Hud. He said: O my
people! Serve Allah; ye have no other God save Him. Will ye not ward off
(evil)?

Commentary
‘
‘Aadin – it is the name of a very strong and powerful nation. These people were
children of Iram, who was grandson of Prophet Noah (peace be upon
Him). They lived in Ahqaaf, which was a territory
of Yemen
Huudun – (Hud), He was Prophet of Allah Almighty (peace be upon Him), from the
children of Iram. Therefore, He is ancestral Brother of ‘Aad (a
folk).
The
people of ‘Aad were very mischievous and quarrelsome. They
were physically very strong and tall, and used to oppress the feeble persons,
engage them in hard labor and treat them like their slaves, and consider them
like animals.
Prophet Hud (peace
be upon Him) caused to understand them that it was useless to strut too much on
own strong body and height. He said: Allah Almighty is more Powerful and Strong
than you, Who brought you into being.
Worshiping the idols had become prevalent among those
people and there was a separate demi-god for every work; someone
was of the wealth, some others like power, honor and respect, gladness, health
and cure etc.
Hud (peace be upon Him) admonished them: That entire has been given to
you by Allah Almighty, whichever you possess. Therefore you should worship Him
only. You should consider the weak and feeble people as mankind like you and
not to molest them. But they were proud of their wealth and physical strength.
They did not obey Him (peace be upon Him).
It
is commanded by Allah Almighty: We appointed Hud (peace be upon Him) for
the people of ‘Aad as Our Prophet to admonish them and to
cause to mend their manners. He (peace be upon Him) said to them: You should
abstain from worshiping idols. Those entire things which you possess i.e.
wealth, health, strength and honor etc. have been bestowed to you by only One
“Allah Almighty”. None other is able to give you anything. These demi-gods,
whom you worship, neither they have any authority and nor omnipotence. It can
be nothing by naming the lifeless things. None is worthy of worship for any
individual except Allah Almighty. So you should worship only Him. Fall
prostrate before Him only. Beg from Him and give thanks to Him only. Do you not
wish to be saved from evil? Why do you disobey your Lord? Do you not fear His
wrath?
When the people of ‘Aad heard
this talk, their chieftains, by whom the tradition of worshiping idols was
established, replied: O Hud! We see that Thou art entirely foolish
because Thou desire to finish an established system of customs and traditions,
and wish to establish a new and uncommon system. This matter, which Thou art
going to produce, seems a lie entirely.
