Surat Hud (59-60)

{وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ جَحَدُواْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْاْ رُسُلَهُ وَاتَّبَعُواْ أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ} (هود : 59)

59- That was the tribe of `Ad which Allah punished because they had disbelieved in His Signs and Miracles and disobeyed His Messengers. Whoever disobeys one prophet has disobeyed all Messengers because their message is one which is monotheism. Such people refused to accept faith, satisfied with polytheism and disobedience, refused to accept the truth, and followed the command of every haughty arrogant who defied the signs of Allah.

{وَأُتْبِعُواْ فِي هَـذِهِ الدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَلا إِنَّ عَاداً كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمْ أَلاَ بُعْداً لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُودٍ} (هود : 60)

60- They were followed by a curse in this worldly life, so they were not mentioned thereafter except with cursing and expelling from the mercy of Allah, and they were cursed in the Hereafter as they were cursed in the world, so they shall have no share of mercy.

Verily, `Ad disbelieved in their Lord, denied His Signs, and did not show gratitude through faith and obedience; indeed perished were the people of `Ad, the people of Prophet Hud.

Their homes were at Al Ahqaf which was a sandy area between Oman, Ar-Rab` Al Khali, and Yemen; and their traces and monuments were discovered in Oman.
