Hours passed. Fearful, black clouds appeared in the horizon. They moved gradually. Then they covered whole the sky of-Ahqāf.
The people of ،Ād rejoiced at the clouds. They said: “Our gods have responded to our prayer. They’ve sent us clouds full of rain, thus valleys and gardens will be full of grass.”
When prophet HUD saw the signs of punishment, he said: “Nay! it is what you sought to hasten on, a blast of wind in which there is painful punishment.”
Prophet HUD and the believers sought protection in the mountain. The punishment was close at hand. The pagans were gazing at the black clouds waiting for rain. However, there was no rain.
A cold wind blew. Then a destructive storm started. Lightning flashed in the sky. Thunder boomed in the sky. Thunderbolts stroke the pagans.
The pagans were shaking with fear, so they went running to their houses. They had no hope in the clouds.
They did not listen to the words of prophet HUD. They only looked at their idols. They thought that their idols would do well for them.
The storm of heavenly wrath began. The wind was strong, cold and dry.
The wind did not carry clouds nor did it carry rain, rather it carried cold and thick sand.
The fearful hours passed. Yet the storm went on blowing. The waves of sands were moving to the valley.
The people of ،Ād were proud of their strength. They thought that they would overcome the drought, dryness and the storm.
They thought that the storm would abate at night or in the morning of the next day.
The destructive wind began blowing on Wednesday. It went on blowing for seven nights and eight days.
The wind abated on Wednesday. It had filled the fertile valley with sand.
The wind buried the wonderful city of Iram under the sands. It had destroyed its houses and their strong marble pillars. It had also knocked down the people who disbelieved in the message of prophet HUD (A. S.) Those people fell on the sand. They were tall, so they looked like dry date-palms.
The idols fell on their faces and broke into pieces. The temples became ruins. The curse befell them. They were tyrannical people whose hearts were void of mercy. Their life was full of play. They built their palaces for playing.
They made no use of their palaces. They disbelieved in Allah and persecuted the believers.
For this reason, Allah destroyed the people of ،Ād. He saved prophet HUD and the believers among them. He wanted people to return to their nature and lead a life full of good, fertility growth.

The story of prophet HOD.PART(4)
IRAM, THE WONDERFUL CITY
In that period of time, the people of ،Ād built the greatest city world. It was the city of Iram: “The like of which was not created in the (other) cities.”
It was full of palaces and gardens. Shaddād- a strong, pagan man- ordered the city to be built. He wanted it to be a garden to live in.
He thought that he would never die. He was very strong, so he thought that he would be immortal.
THE STORM OF DESTRUCTION
The third season of rainfall came. However, there was nothing except dryness. The wind blew and moved waves of sands to the valleys, which were once green.
Famine struk the land of al-Ahqāf.
Prophet HUD went on inviting his people to believe in Allah. He wanted them to refrain from worshipping idols.
Prophet HUD said to his people: “Allah, the Glorified, is able to create rain and enliven the dry land. Allah, the Most High, is able to create plants in the valleys and plains. Idols are useless stones.”
In spite of this, the tribes of ،Ād did not believe in the message of HUD. They obeyed the tyrants.
No one believed in HUD except some good people. In the third season, the people of al-Ahqāf went outside. They looked at the sky waiting for rain.
The sky was clear and blue. There was no cloud in it. The pagans slaughtered more rams for their gods. They thought that the god of fertility would save them from drought; still, there was no rain.
Prophet HUD came to his people. He wanted to give them the last advice. He said to them: “Turn to Allah in repentance. Only Allah can send clouds and create plants.”
The people of ،Ād scolded our Prophet HUD. They said to him: “Go away! You’re mad! You’re a liar! If you’re truthful, let your Lord punish us! We won’t leave our gods. Our gods bestow blessings upon us, send clouds, create plant and increase our cattle! Our gods never forget that!”
Prophet HUD was sad for his people. He wanted them to believe in Allah He wanted them to lead a peaceful life.

THE DROUGHT
The season of rain came, but it wan not rain. Clouds passed through the sky of al-Ahqāf and went far away. They gathered and then they scattered. The people of ،Ād lived on pastures, agriculture and the fruit of their gardens.
That year passed, but it not rain.
Their products decreased. Some of their cattle died because of hunger. Some trees died because of the lack of rain.
The people of ،Ād went to their gods. They worshipped them and sacrificed rams for them, but all their efforts were in vain.
The next season came. Clouds gathered. The people of ،Ād rejoiced at that. The clouds were black. Some of them said: “Those clouds are full of rain.” Suddenly, the clouds scattered.
They doubled the number of sacrifices. However, clouds appeared and then they disappeared. The wind blew and carried sand for them.
FAITH MEANT FERTILTY
Prophet Hud came and preached his people. He said to them: “O people, I love you. I want to do good for you.” Then he said to them: “O people ask forgiveness of your Lord, and then turn to him in repentance. He will send on you clouds pouring down abundance of rain and add strength to your strength.”
The people of ،Ād did not listen to the preaching of Allah’s Apostle. They turned away from him and threatened him. Moreover, they went to their gods and sacrificed rams for them.
The season of rain ended. Not a drop of rain fell down. Their land became dry.
Their green land became a desert. Most of their cattle and trees died.
A third year came. It was a critical year. Their water was little. They kept it for the remaining animals; they did not water their fields.
They went to their temples every day and worshipped and supplicated to their idols. Meanwhile prophet Hud advised his people and invited them to believe in Allah, the Great and Almighty. He wanted them to understand that Allah had power over all things and that the idols were just stones.

They oppressed the innocent and severely punished those who did not follow their beliefs and way of life.
Good people were afraid of them. They were a weak minority. The rich were strong and tall and had big muscles. Their hearts were as hard as stone. Prophet Hud lived in that area during that period of time.
Prophet Hud was righteous. He had a good heart and he loved good. Allah the Glorified chose him as a prophet and sent him as a messenger to his people.
Prophet Hud invited his people to worship Allah, the One and Only. He prevented them from worshipping idols and gods. He told them that idols and gods were useless stones.
Prophet Hud was brave. He was not afraid of the pagans. The pagans had strong bodies. However, prophet Hud was stronger than them in will and spirit, for he supported Allah and Allah supported him. Allah has power over all things.
The good people believed in the mission of prophet Hud, but they were few in number.
The strong and the luxurious people mocked prophet Hud. They mocked at his mission and said that Hud was foolish and mad. They hurt and threatened him.
Prophet Hud went on inviting his people to believe in Allah. He always preached them. He reminded them of Allah’s blessings and favors, but all his efforts were in vain.
They thought that the god’s bestowed blessing upon them, caused rain to com down, caused grass to grow and increased their cattle.
They said: “Hud is mad. The gods have cursed him.” They also wanted to make Hud afraid of the final result. They said to him: “If you go on inviting us to believe in your Lord, the gods will punish you.”
Prophet Hud challenged the tyrants of ،Ād. He also challenged their gods.
He went on carrying out his mission, so the tyrants were unable to resist him.
The people of ،Ād were two parties. One party believed in Allah and the Day of Judgment. They were few in number. The other party disbelieved in Hudُs message. They adopted aggression, corruption and misguidance. Prophet HUD had no hope in reforming them, for they insisted on living a life of misguidance.

The story of prophet HOD.PART(1)
In the Name of Allah
THE STORY OF PROPHET HUD
When you carefully consider the Arab Peninsula, you will find a wide desert area in the east. It is the area of al-Rub، al-Khāli. This area is void of all marks of life; there are neither plants nor water.
Was this area a desert thousands of years ago?
The answer is no. There were green fertile areas in this desert land. The archeologists have found the ruins of a city buried under the sand.
The strong tribes of ،Ād lived in this area in the prehistoric ages. They belonged to the ancient Arabs. History has mentioned nothing about them. Only the Holy Koran has mentioned them.
The tribes of ،Ād lived in that green grassy area. It rained during the different seasons. So the earth became fertile. Brooklets and small streams were full of water and fields were pretty.
Their land was full of date-palms, grapevines and fields. Moreover, their gardens were spacious.
The people of that time took special care of building houses. They were specialists in building palaces, castles and forts.
They were strong and self-conceited. The blessings made them ungrateful. They did not listen to the voice of reason.
They were pagans, who worshipped idols. They made the idols with their own hands and then they worshipped them.
They built their temples on hills and put idols in them. They said: “This is the god of fertility, this is the god of sea, this is the god of land and that is the god of war.”
For this reason, they turned to those idols when they faced a certain misfortune.
The land of al-Ahqāf was green. It was full of pastures. Their cattle were many. So they led a life of luxury and haughtiness.
They thought that their gods had brought about all those blessings. So they clung strongly to their gods.

The story of prophet NOAH. PART(8)
It stopped raining. The earth swallowed up its water. The level of water abated day by day.
The mountains and the hills appeared. Some valleys were still full of water.
Allah inspired Noah: “O Noah, descend with peace from us and blessings on you and on the people from among those who are with you.”
Noah and the believers left the Ark. They descended from the mountain.
The earth became clean and pure. The believers returned to their life. They were a small society. However, the society was free from the unbelievers. It believed in Allah and His Apostle.
Life came back to the earth. The believing society led a peaceful life. There was neither oppressor nor oppressed one.
There was neither thief nor wrong-doer. Prophet Noah and the believers led a life of peace.
Noah lived a long life. His age was very long, for he invited his people to believe in Allah for 950 years.
How old was Noah when Allah sent him to his people? How long did he live after the flood? No body knows that. However, he lived a long life.
Noah was sitting under the sun when the angel of death came to him. The angel of death asked him: “You’ve lived a long life. What’s your opinion of life?”
Noah rose, sat in the shade and said: “My life in this world was as this movement from the sunlight to this shade.”
Noah closed his eyes. He carried out his message and saved people from destruction.
For this reason, Allah, the glorified, singled Noah out with immortal greetings. That was when He said: “Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations.”
NOAH SUPPLICATED TO ALLAH THROUGH SACRED NAMES
In July 1950, some Russian archeologists looked for ruins in the Qāf Valley. They found old pieces of wood scattered about. This urged them to drill deeper in the ground. They found other fossil pieces of wood.
The archeologists found an oblong piece of wood. The piece was 14 inches long and 10 inches wide. The archeologists were astonished to see the piece of wood. For the piece of wood was unchanged. It was not decayed or broken as the other pieces of wood were.
In 1952, the archeologists discovered that piece of wood belonged to the Ark of Noah (A. S.) and that the other pieces of wood belonged to the body of Noah’s Ark.
The historians mentioned that the Ark of Noah (A. S.) anchored on the top of Mount Qāf. Some letters were written on the piece of wood. The letters dated back to an ancient language.
The Russian government formed a team of archeologists in 1953. The team included seven professionals in ancient languages.
They are as follow:
1. Sula Nouf, Professor of Languages, Moscow University.
2. Ifahan Khnyo, a scholar in ancient languages, Lolohan College, China.
3. Mishanin Lo, manager of ancient monuments.
4. Tanmol Gorf, Professor of Languages, Kivzo College.
5. Day Rakn, Professor of ancient monuments, Linin Institute.
6. Im Ahmed Kolad, manager of general excavations and discoveries.
7. Major Kolad, Head of Stalin University.
After an eight- month- study, the above- mentioned linguists concluded that the piece of wood belonged to Noah’s Ark. They also concluded that Prophet Noah (A. S.) had nailed it the front part of his Ark to protect it from the flood.
The letters on this piece of wood were written in a Semitic language. The British scholar, Ef Max, professor translated the letters into English as follows:
O my Lord and Helper,
Help me through your favor and mercy.
(Help me) for the sake of these names: Mohammed, Alia, shabur, shabir, and Fatima.
They are all great and honorable.
The world is standing for them.
Help me by their names.
Only you can guide me to the straight path.
The foregoing scholars were astonished at the greatness of the above-mentioned five names and the rank of their owners with Allah, The Most High. Noah (A. S.) supplicated to Allah through these names.
However, no one of them knew the reason why the piece of wood did not decay despite being there for thousands of years. It is worth mentioning that this piece of wood is now in the Moscow Museum.
Prophet Mohammed (S. A. W.) said: “My family is like Noah’s Ark. Whoever embarked on it was saved. Whoever missed it drowned?”

The story of prophet NOAH. PART(7)
THESACRED WORDS
The angel came down to the Prophet and the believers with the Sacred Words. Noah wrote those words on a small tablet to protect the Ark from sinking into the flood.
At that time people wrote in the ancient Semitic language.
Noah wrote the following Sacred Words on the tablet:
My Lord and Helper, help me through Your favor and mercy.
(Help me) for the sake of these Sacred Names: Mohammed, Alia, Shabur, Shabir and Fatima. They are all great and honorable. The world is standing for them. Help me by these names. Only You can guide me to the straight path.
Noah hung the tablet on the front part of the Ark. The believers considered carefully the Sacred Names of the persons who were not born yet. They were of Noah’s progeny.
The Ark went on making its way through the rough waves of the sea. It headed for the North.
The rain went on falling heavily. The believers were praying to Allah to save them from the great flood.
After forty days, it stopped raining. The clouds dispersed gradually. The sun rose. A beautiful rainbow appeared in the horizon. The rainbow was colorful- green, blue, orange and violet. The colors were beautiful. They made the believers hopeful.
Prophet Noah released a crow. The crow flew high in the sky. It turned in space and then it returned, for it found no land to sit on.
Then Noah released a white pigeon. The pigeon set off. It flew over the water till it disappeared.
After a while, the pigeon came back. It was carrying an olive-tree twig in its pink beak.
Noah and the believers rejoiced at that. The flood ended. Allah protected the believers from the wickedness of the unbelievers.
Then Noah released the same pigeon. The pigeon flew into the sky and did not return.
Noah knew that the pigeon found land to settle on. The ark headed for the North. Then it anchored on the top of Mount Judi.
Allah, the Glorified, ordered the sky and the earth: “O earth, swallow down your water and O cloud, clear away; and the water were made to abate.
