Quran /11- HÛD The Prophet Hûd Revealed at Makkah/   Introduction         The sûrah starts by speaking about Wisdom in the Qur’ân and telling the people to worship Allâh alone. It then warns and gives good news. Then it declares Allâh’s omnipotence and lordship, the people’s attitudes toward receiving Allâh’s blessings and afflictions, the high rank of the Qur’ân and the challenge it offers, the disbelievers’ unjustified disbelief in it, and the reward for believers. Allâh narrates the stories of the prophets, their peoples’ disputation with them, the affliction of the disbelievers, and the rescue of the believers. The story of Nûh (Noah) is told in more detail here than in Sûrah Yûnus. The present sûrah states the mentality and obstinacy of the disbelievers and how they are afflicted with the wrath of Allâh. Following the story of Nûh, Allâh mentions the story of the `Âd people with Prophet Hûd and the affliction laid on the disbelievers despite their might and strength. Likewise, Allâh mentions the story of His Prophet ; S â lih with the Thamûd, and the stories of Prophets Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Lût (Lot), and Shu`ayb. Then Allâh mentions the moral lessons in these truthful stories. He concludes the sûrah by calling upon the believers to work and to await reward. He mentions His perfect knowledge and orders the believers to believe in Him. In the Name of Allâh, The All-Merciful, The Ever-Merciful
