Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 123-135Verses 136-140

      Here comes now, and once again, the fate of Äd who misused the bounties of God, and blasphemed. The story of Äd is an Arabic tradition and it is not found in the Bible. Their prophet Hood, whose tomb is still traditionally shown in HAZARMUTHِYEMEN; was sent to warn the rebellious and sinful people. In a compassionate way Hood advised his people saying:ِ

      ``I am a trustworthy Messenger for you. Will you not avoid evil then? If you fear God and obey me, I will lead you in a straight path of prosperity and salvation, and I ask you not any reward. Why should you build a sign or a monument upon every high place which are merely errected for vanity and self-amusement?''

      The people of Äd were great builders. In creed, they were severe materialists, and felt to be very safe and secure in their strongholds and firm houses. They forsook God and oppressed their weaker people without any consideration! In spite of all their brute power, when they rejected God's Message brought to them by Hood, they proved to be very helpless and weak as any other creature.

Hood then points to their cruelty and inhuman treatment:-

      ``When you assault you assault like the cruel tyrants.''

      This implies that those who came within their power, were oppressed and treated with cruelty without any consideration.

 

      Their prophet, Hood criticised their extravagant ambitions, their cruelty and tender love for material properties, like firm and excellent houses, gardens with springs, and etc.

      He warned them to be careful of the agony of a great day in which they had to see the consequences of their works. They did not listen to their well-wisher prophet and therefore suffered the inevitable penalties for their thanklessness.
