People of 'Ad worshipped different deities. Every time, they made an idol for themselves out of fun. They made water reservoirs in their basements for they hoped to be immortal. | People of 'Ad worshipped different deities. Every time, they made an idol for themselves out of fun. They made water reservoirs in their basements for they hoped to be immortal. prophet Hud (a) was chosen to guide them. The Qur'an introduces prophet Hud (a) as the brother of 'Ad, because he (a) was one of them. 'Allama Tabataba'i believed that there is a possibility that 'Ad had prophets other than Hud (a) as well who were chosen after Noah (a) and before Hud (a), but the glorious Qur'an has not mentioned them; however, the context of verses does not agree with this possibility. | ||
Exegetes believe that from verse 59 of Sura Hud which says, "and followed the dictates of every obdurate tyrant", it can be learned that 'Ad were had three problems of rejecting divine signs, disobeying prophets and obeying tyrants. In fact, they followed the orders of every despot and that kept them away from following Hud (a) and accepting his invitation. Then, God continues describing them in the next verse as, "they were pursued by a curse in this world and on the [[Day of Resurrection]]", because of those three problems. The curse in this verse refers to the punishment which followed them and finally reached them. | Exegetes believe that from verse 59 of Sura Hud which says, "and followed the dictates of every obdurate tyrant", it can be learned that 'Ad were had three problems of rejecting divine signs, disobeying prophets and obeying tyrants.
