Prophet Hud (AS)

  • The Original Arabs come from Yemen.. And they used to speak the Arabic language
  • And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sent to them a Prophet by the name of Hud he was an Arab
  • And sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was once speaking to Abu Huraira radi allahu ta'ala anhu..
  • And he was telling them about the Prophets and the Messengers
  • And then the Prophet Alayhi Salatu Wa Sallam said: From among the Prophets and the Messengers
  • There are four Prophets and Messenger who are Arab
  • And the Prophet Alayhi Salatu Wa Salam said: Hud was an Arab, Salih was an Arab,
  • Shu'ayb was an Arab and he told Abu Huraira.. And your Prophet is also an Arab
  • So from all the Prophets and Messengers being sent..
  • 124,000 Prophets and Messengers.. There are four Arab Prophets
  • And what happened?
  • They were so happy because Allah gave them wealth, Allah gave them strength
  • And they began to indulge.. Over and above indulging
  • They forgot Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala abd they started worshipping things
  • Stones and items.. Shirk.. Engaging in Shirk. So let's listen to what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says

  • Allahu Akbar "IRAM".. "THATIL IMAD" is referring to either the height of the people..
  • As though they were tall pillars.. "LAM YUKHLAQ MITHLUHA FEE BILAD"..
  • Like them were not created prior on land. Whoch means.. They were so huge
  • Allah says: We didn't make anyone like that before.. Number one
  • Number two is.. The homes they used to make were also huge.. Like large pillars
  • Like that there was never before on Earth. So both their stature.. Their structure
  • And what they used to make and build in terms of homes
  • And both of those are correct because for a tall person
  • You need a tall home with a ceiling that is very very high
  • Because he needs to be covered, he is not going to come bending into his home
  • And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala after making mention of how they used to worship idols
  • Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala makes mention of the story firsly in Surat Al A'Raf
  • And to the people of 'AAD we sent their brother Hud Alayhi Salam
  • Why does Allah say "AKAHUM"? Because he was from amongst them.. He was one of them
  • And this is why nearly all the nations that were sent Prophets
  • That Prophet was one from amongst them.. Whom they knew from the time he was born
  • So that they could not say; This is an outsider, he's a foreigner, he's a stranger and so on
  • They knew this person abd ge cane up and then he warned as a Messenger
  • And he was always known as truthful, and honesty and all the good qualities and so on
  • So Allah says; He says.. Hud Alayhi Salam said..
  • He told his people; O my people! Worship Allah alone...
  • Without associating partners.. For indeed there is no deity worty of worship,
  • No one.. None worthy of worship besides Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
  • You don't have anyone you can worship besides Allah
  • This shows us that the issue of polytheism and shirk
  • Is the prime issue that all the Prophets of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dealt with
  • Because that was the trap of the Shaytaan, the biggest thing
  • He wanted to deviate man with.. Is the issue of..
  • Association of partnership with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
  • Then he would laugh at the man and he would laugh at Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
  • To say; You see.. I told you.. They won't worship you
  • They would either worship someone else or they will worship with you other things
  • So this is why.. All the Messengers.. You open the pages of the Qur'an.. They all said
  • You don't have anyone who is worthy of worship besides Him.. The One Who made you
  • Do you not fear? Do you not have any consciousness in you?
  • So what did they say?
  • First thing is first. The disbelievers and the horty
  • From amongst his community, they were all powerful people.. Wealthy
  • They began to say: You are foolish.. we see that you are a foolish man.. you're a fool
  • You are telling us not to indule.. What's wrong?
  • It's our wealth.. We are living.. It's our life
  • Let us do what we want with whatever we want.. And we will build as we want and do what we want
  • So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala says; They were also amazed
  • That how can a man come to us? If Allah wanted to send a Messenger.. He could have sent an Angel
  • Why did he have to send a human being?
  • And so this is why in Surat Al-Mu'minoon
  • Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala makes mention of how they said..
  • This is just a human being like all of you. He eats whatever you people are eating...
  • And he drink whatever you are drinking.. There is no virtue for him over the others
  • And they continued saying...
  • If you are going to follow a human being just like you.. Then you will be losers
  • Look at how foolish the statement is
  • Now there is something important in this story of 'AAD
  • They debated a lot with Hud Alayhi Salam. And also...
  • They always went back to their cronies and their people.. And they began to tell them;
  • Look we told him this.. We said this.. We said that and he doesn't have an answer
  • Not that he doesn't have an answer.. Common sense is an answer
  • You know what else they said?
  • Is he promising you that when you die and you have become decomposed..
  • That you are then going to be resurrected? Far.. Very far is that which you are being promised?
  • It cannot be a reality. Imagine...
  • They are saying; How can he tell you that when you go down...
  • And you are going to be decomposed.. That you are going to come up?
  • My beloved brother and sisters.. The lesson I learn and you learn from this;
  • Sometimes we claim and we know.. We believe that we are going to be resurrected
  • But the way we operate in our lives... As though there is no Day of Judgement
  • The way we carry on with all our bad ways.. We never bat an eyelid sometimes
  • We never sit back to think.. But I am drinking, I am clubbing, I am comitting adultery
  • I have got all these bad habits, and at the same time..
  • I am claiming that there is life after death. How on Earth can that happen?
  • Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala speaks about what else they said
  • They told each other look; This is just a life, enjoy it as much as you can
  • We are alive and we will die and that's it.. There is no Resurrection
  • We are not uttering anything except that some of our gods have caused this man to become mad
  • Because he has gone against our gods.. So the gods have become angry with him
  • These stones have become upset with him and therefor...
  • They have inflicted him with a mental disease and now he is a mental case
  • That's what they're saying. Why were all these statements? Let me tell you why
  • Because these rich wealthy people, who had lots, who were big, huge, no sickness
  • They were massive people, they used to dwell in huge dwellings
  • We're going to get to the types of dwellings they had
  • They were scared. That we are going to have to change...
  • Our whole lifestyle.. Because one man is telling us something
  • So rather than changing their lifestyle and securing the Hereafter
  • They decided to secure the worldly life and lose the Hereafter
  • So now they started saying; This man is a madman, and this man is like this and he is possessed
  • Only so that the others would not listen to him
  • Because if 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 people started listening.. He would start getting a base
  • And he would be able to attack, he would be able to become victorious over these
