Prophet Stories HUD (AS) | Islamic Cartoon | Quran Stories | Islamic Children Kids Videos - Ep 04

The people of 'Ad lived in the hills between Yemen and Oman.

They were physically well built and well-known for their tall building construction with

big towers.

Among all the nation they were very powerful and wealthy, which, unfortunately, made them

arrogant.

They had dictator who was an unjust ruler and no one raised a voice against him.

The people of Ad believed in Allah and worshiped him but they also worshipped other gods and

idols.

This is one sin Allah does not forgive.

To guide those people Allah (T) sent them prophet Hud (pbuh).

He was very strong and tolerant.

He was the 3rd or 4th generation after Noah (pbuh).

Prophet Hud was telling his people not to worship their stone idols which they made

with their own hand.

He requested his people to worship only Allah (T).

They refused his message and told him.

Man: "Do you want to be our master with your call?

What payment do you want?"

Prophet Hud (pbuh) said that he doesn't want anything from them except for them to follow

the truth.

Hud tried to speak to them and to explain about Allah's blessings: how Allah (T) had

given them their strength and power.

Hud's people looked about them and found they were the strongest on earth, so they become

more proud.

Man: "O Hud!

Did you say that later we will die and turn into dust, and then we will be resurrected?"

prophet Hud (pbuh) said, yes on the Day of Judgment they will be asked about what they

did.

Man: ( with laugh) "How strange his claims are!"

Animal: So, they were arrogant, because Allah (T) made them strong and rich?

Animal_2: But they should be more grateful to Allah (T)’s blessing!

Animal_3: That’s why, generally poor people are more religious then rich people.

Yusuf: People were very ungrateful.

People of Hud (pbuh), They did not believe him about the day of

judgment.

They listened but disbelieved him.

The chiefs of Hud's people asked: "Is it not strange that Allah choose one of us to reveal

His message to?"

Prophet Hud (pbuh) replied, why was it strange?

Allah (T) sent me to warn you.

The history of Prophet Noah's ark and the flood happened not too long ago.

Did you forget what happened?

All the disbelievers were destroyed, no matter how strong they were.

Chiefs: "Who is going to destroy us Hud?"

Prophet Hud (pbuh) replied if they don't follow him, Allah (T) will destroy them all.

Chiefs: "We will be saved by our gods."

Hud clarified to them that the gods that they worshipped would be the reason for their destruction.

The conflict between Hud and his people continued.

The years passed, and they became more proud, more arrogant, and more aggressive with their

prophet Hud (pbuh).

They started to accuse Hud (PBUH) of being a crazy.

One day they told him: Man: "We now understand the secret of your

madness, you insulted our gods and they harmed you; that is why you have become insane."

Prophet Hud (pbuh) warned them about Allah (T) punishment.

It is one of the laws of life.

Allah punishes the disbelievers, no matter how rich or strong they are.

As a punishment, a drought spread throughout the land, where there was no rain for the

land.

The heat of sun increased , and it felt like the people's heads were on fire.

Hud's people asked him: "What is that drought Hud?"

Hud answered: "Allah is angry with you.

If you believe in Him, He will accept you and the rain will fall and you will become

stronger than you are."

Animal: Wow the drought must’ve been really bad.

How come they still didn’t say sorry to Allah (T)?

Animal_2: Didn’t they know the punishment were coming?!

Yusuf: Yes, they knew the punishment was coming.

Still they did not accept Prophet Hud (pbuh).

They laughed at him.

The drought increased, the trees turned yellow, and plants died.

A day came when they found the sky full of clouds.

Hud's people were glad to see the cloud.

Men: "This cloud will give us rain!"

The weather changed suddenly from burning dry and hot to wind that shook everything;

trees, plants, tents, men and women.

The wind increased day after day and night after

night.

Hud's people started to flee.

They ran to their tents to hide but the wind became stronger, ripping their tents.

They hid under covers but the wind became stronger

tore away the covers.

It cut the cloth and skin.

The strong wind cracked the human body and destroyed it.

All the disbelievers were killed and their body was torn away by the strong wind.

The storm lasted for 8 days and 7 nights.

Animal: So, it was just a storm?

Yusuf: No, it was a very heavy send storm.

That violent storm did not stop until the entire region was turned into ruins and its

wicked people destroyed, swallowed by the sands of the desert.

Only Hud and his followers remained unharmed.

They migrated to Hadhramaut place in Yamen and lived there in peace, worshipping their

true Lord Allah(T).
