Part4: Prophet Hud (a)



I LOVE ISLAM
Part4: Prophet Hud (a)
A long time ago, a great tribe lived in the South of Arabia.
They were called Ad.
They were very clever and could do many things.
They used the mountains for their homes.
They carved out great mansions with wonderful pillars.
They called their city Iram.
It was very famous.
As time went on, the people of Ad
thought more about themselves
and less about Allah.
They thought they didn't need Allah,
because they had lots of money and power.
They thought they were being clever but really they were foolish.
Before long they turned to bad ways.
Gangs of them used to rob and kill people travelling by.
There was still one good man among them.
His name was Hud.
He did not belong to any of the gangs.
He did not agree with the things they did.
He tried to tell them to stop their bad ways and told them
to follow Allah's ways.
Hud said Allah would punish the bad ones but most of the
people still would not listen.
They thought they were more clever than the messenger of Allah.
Allah told Hud to take all the good people into a big cave near the city.
The very next day a terrible tornado came and only the good ones,
the ones who had listened, were saved.
