Punishment of 'Ad tribe from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets by Ismāʻīl ibn ʻUmar Ibn Kathīr
The punishment of the 'Ad tribe serves as a warning to those who reject the message of the prophets and persist in their disobedience to Allah. The people of 'Ad were blessed with great physical strength and wealth, but they became arrogant and defiant towards the prophet Hud. Despite his warnings and reminders to turn back to Allah, they continued in their disbelief and transgression. As a result of their arrogance and rejection of the truth, Allah sent a severe punishment upon the 'Ad tribe in the form of a powerful wind. This wind destroyed everything in its path, leaving the once prosperous and flourishing community in ruins. The punishment served as a clear sign of Allah's power and justice, showing that those who disobey Him will face severe consequences. The story of the 'Ad tribe serves as a reminder of the consequences of arrogance and disbelief. It shows that no matter how strong or wealthy a people may be, they are ultimately powerless in the face of Allah's punishment. It also highlights the importance of heeding the warnings of the prophets and turning back to Allah in repentance before it is too late.- Reminding us of the consequences of rejecting the truth and disobeying Allah. It encourages us to reflect on our own actions and to strive to follow the guidance of the prophets in order to avoid a similar fate. Ultimately, it is a reminder that Allah is the ultimate judge and that all will be held accountable for their actions in the Hereafter.
