Summary of Story of Qaum E Aad | Why Allah Destroyed Them? | Islamic Stories | Awais Voice
The video discusses the story of the ancient community of Aad, which existed around 2000 BC in Arabia after the flood of Noah. The community was known for its exceptional physical beauty, wealth, wisdom, and culture. They built a magnificent city called Iram, often referred to as "Shaddad ki Jannat Arzi," and were led by a powerful king named Shaddad. However, despite their prosperity, the people of Aad became idol worshippers and turned away from the worship of one God.
The prophet Hud was sent to guide them back to the worship of Allah, but the people rejected his message, ridiculed him, and remained arrogant about their strength and resources. After years of warning and pleas for repentance, Allah sent a drought that devastated their land and livestock. Despite their suffering, the community refused to heed the prophet's warnings.
Eventually, the people of Aad sought help from the Kaaba in Makkah, praying for rain. However, they chose a cloud that was actually a harbinger of destruction. A severe storm, sent by Allah, obliterated the community over several days, leaving no survivors. The video emphasizes the moral lessons from this story, highlighting the consequences of disobedience to Allah and the importance of following His guidance.
