MCQ Detailed View

Hazrat Hood (A.S) was the Prophet sent by Allah to the nation of Aad, which resided in the southern region of the Arabian Peninsula — particularly in areas now part of Yemen. This powerful and proud nation was ruled by King Shaddad, who was known for his arrogance, wealth, and the construction of a grand city named Iram, which he believed rivaled paradise.

The people of Aad were known for their strength and architectural achievements, but they strayed far from the teachings of Allah. They became idol worshippers, indulged in corruption, and showed pride in their worldly accomplishments. Hazrat Hood (A.S) was sent to guide them back to monotheism and righteousness. Despite his sincere preaching and reminders, the majority rejected his message and mocked him.

Due to their arrogance and continued disbelief, Allah punished the nation of Aad with a fierce windstorm that lasted several days, destroying everything in its path. This divine punishment is mentioned in multiple chapters of the Qur’an, including Surah Al-Haqqah and Surah Al-A’raf, emphasizing the consequences of rejecting divine guidance.
