وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ

أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ

Has there not reached them the news of those before them – the people of Noah and [the tribes of] ‘Aad and Thamud and the people of Abraham and the companions of Madyan and the towns overturned? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. And Allah would never have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو الْأَوْتَادِ

وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ

(89:6)

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Aad

And to Ad We sent their brother Hud, who said, My people, worship Allah! You have no other god than Him. So will you not guard against evil?(7:65)

The ruling circle of those of his people who disbelieved said, We consider you a fool and think you are a liar.(7:66)

He said, My people, I am by no means a fool, but rather am a Messenger from the Lord of all the worlds, transmitting my Lord’s Message to you, and I am a faithful counsellor to you. Or are you astonished that a reminder should come to you from your Lord by way of a man among you in order to warn you? Remember when He appointed you successors to the people of Nuh, and increased you greatly in stature. Remember Allah’s blessings, so that hopefully you will be successful.(7:67-69)

They said, Have you come to us to make us worship Allah alone and abandon what our fathers used to worship? Then bring us what you have promised us if you are telling the truth.(7:70)

He said, Punishment and anger have come down on you from your Lord. Do you argue with me regarding names which you and your forefathers invented and for which Allah has sent down no authority? Wait, then; I am waiting with you.(7:71)

So We rescued him and those with him by mercy from Us, and We cut off the last remnant of those who denied Our Signs and were not believers. (7:72)

And to Ad We sent their brother Hud. He said, My people! Worship Allah. You have no god apart from Him. You are merely fabricators. My people! I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the responsibility of Him Who brought me into being. So will you not use your intellect? My people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send heaven down to you in abundant rain, and increase you with strength upon strength. Do not turn away as evildoers.(11:50-52)

They said, Hud, you have not brought us any clear sign. We will not forsake our gods for what you say. We do not believe you. We only say that one of our gods has driven you mad.He said, I call on Allah to be my witness, and you also bear witness, that I am free of all the gods you have apart from Him. So scheme against me, all of you together, and then grant me no respite. I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a Straight Path. If you turn your backs, I have transmitted to you what I was sent to you with, and my Lord will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. My Lord is the Preserver of everything.(11:53-57)

When Our command came, We rescued Hud and those who believed along with him by a mercy from Us. We rescued them from a harsh punishment. (11:58)

That was Ad. They denied the Signs of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers and followed the command of every obdurate tyrant. (11:59)

They were pursued by a curse in this world and on the Day of Rising. Yes indeed! Ad rejected their Lord, so away with Ad, the people of Hud! (11:60)

(Shuayb said,) My people! Do not let your breach with me provoke you into doing wrong so that the same thing happens to you as happened to the people of Nuh and the people of Hud and the people of Salih; and the people of Lut are not far distant from you.(11:89)

The same goes for Ad and Thamud and the Companions of the Rass and many generations in between. (25:38)

Ad denied the Messengers when their brother Hud said to them, Will you not guard against evil? I am a faithful Messenger to you so have fear of Allah and obey me. I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the responsibility of no one but the Lord of all the worlds. Do you build a tower on every hilltop, just to amuse yourselves, and construct great fortresses, hoping to live for ever, and when you attack, attack as tyrants do? So have fear of Allah and obey me. Have fear of Him Who has supplied you with what you know, supplied you with livestock and children and gardens and clear springs. I fear for you the punishment of a terrible Day.They said, It makes no difference to us whether you preach or do not preach. This is only what the previous peoples did. We are not going to be punished.So they denied him and We destroyed them. There is certainly a Sign in that, yet most of them are not believers. Truly your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. (26:123-140)

And Ad and Thamud–it must be clear to you from their dwelling places! Satan made their actions seem good to them and so debarred them from the Way, even though they were intelligent people. (29:38)

If they turn away, then say, I warn you of a lightning-bolt like the lightning-bolt of Ad and of Thamud.(41:13)

Ad were arrogant in the land, without any right, saying, Who has greater strength than us?Did they not see that Allah, Who created them, had greater strength than them? But they renounced Our Signs. (41:15)

Remember the brother of Ad when he warned his people by the sand-dunes–and warners passed away before and after him–Worship no one but Allah. I fear for you the punishment of a terrible Day.They said, Have you come to us to divert us from our gods? Bring us what you have promised us if you are telling the truth.He said, All knowledge is with Allah. I only transmit to you what I have been sent with. But I see that you are a people who are ignorant.When they saw it as a storm cloud advancing on their valleys they said, This is a storm cloud which will give us rain.No, rather it is what you desired to hasten–a wind containing painful punishment, destroying everything at its Lord’s command! When morning came you could see nothing but their dwellings.               That is how We repay the people of the evildoers. We established them far more firmly than We have established you and gave them hearing, sight and hearts. But their hearing, sight and hearts were of no use to them at all when they renounced Allah’s Signs and what they mocked at engulfed them. (46:21-26)

And also in Ad when We unleashed against them the barren wind, which left nothing it touched without turning it to dust. (51:41-42)

(Or has he not been informed) that He destroyed Ad, the earlier people? (53:50)

Ad denied the truth. How terrible were My punishment and warnings! (54:18)

We unleashed a howling wind against them on a day of unremitting horror. It plucked up men like uprooted stumps. (54:19-20)

Thamud and Ad denied the Crushing Blow. (69:4)

Ad were destroyed by a savage howling wind. (69:6)

Allah subjected them to it for seven whole nights and eight whole days without a break. You could see the people flattened in their homes just like the hollow stumps of uprooted palms. (69:7)

Do you not see what your Lord did with Ad? (89:6)
