65. 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)?
66. The chieftains of
His people, who were disbelieving, said: Lo! We surely see Thee in
foolishness, and lo! We deem Thee of the liars.

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.
