Prophet Hud (AS)

  • No.. So what did they decide to do? Allah speaks about them in the Qur'an
  • Hud Alayhi Salam told them that; When you sieze, when you want to punish someone
  • You destroy them totally, you seize so powerfully as though you are tyrants
  • Which means: They used to kill off those who were weak
  • And those who tried to go towards the message
  • They used to kill off those whom they considered a threat
  • Nobody could tell them anything. Why?
  • They were huge... Powerful people and they were in the majority
  • Allahu Akbar. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala warns them
  • And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala warned them through the Prophet Hud
  • But now I want to spend a few minutes describing to you their houses
  • Are you those who used to build on the mountains.. On every high place
  • You had your monumental home and palace
  • What is a monumental home and palace? They build palaces on top of the mountains
  • Huge palaces.. Which they did not live in. It was only known; That house is for this man
  • That house is for that man, that house is for this man
  • Those were all on sand dunes and on the little mounts that they had
  • They were not living in them. So Allah says; Are you building extravagantly...
  • These homes that you are not living in? You are not going to stay in them
  • And you are becoming so indulged.. that you are forgetting Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala
  • Allahu Akbar.. And on top of that, the next verse says; And then in the valleys
  • You build the little houses that you are going to live in.. In such a manner
  • That you think that you are going to live forever
  • You have taken these fine homes for yourselves as though you are going to live forever
  • Allahu Akbar.. So imagine the houses. These people.. They owned the mountains
  • They carved up at the top of the mountains a place for them to boast.. to brag
  • That's my home, that one is my house, that one is the other one's house
  • That's the uncle's house.. And so on. Allahu Akbar
  • They were the first in this type of engineering. And because of that.. Why does Allah mention it?
  • Because of that... They had this sense of arrogance. That because of this invention that they have
  • And their advanced technology.. They ruled the world
  • They thought that they are the rulers, they are superior to everyone
  • The first thing they did was.. they rejected him and they rejected his warnings
  • Why did they reject him and reject his warnings? They were stricken with this disease of superiority
  • If they had followed him.. It meant for them that they are now going to be equal to everyone else
  • So Allah Subhannahu Wa Ta'Ala speaks about their size
