Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

‘Ād: An ancient Arab tribe, descendants of ‘Ād, known for their great physical strength and advanced civilization. They lived in the region of Al-Aḥqāf (the sandy hills) in southern Arabia.
Hūd: The prophet sent to the people of ‘Ād. He was one of their own brethren in lineage, not in religion.
Tattaqūn: To be conscious of Allah, to fear His punishment, and to protect oneself by obeying His commands and avoiding His prohibitions.

Tafsir (Explanation):

And indeed, We sent to the tribe of ‘Ād their brother Hūd, a man from among them, well-known to them in lineage and character. They had turned to worshipping idols and false gods besides Allah, so he said to them: "O my people! Worship Allah alone, for you have no god worthy of worship other than Him. He is the One who created you, sustains you, and to Him alone belongs all divinity. Will you not then fear Him and be conscious of His punishment and anger?" He called them to leave their false worship and return to the pure monotheism of their forefathers, reminding them that only through sincere devotion to Allah could they attain safety in this life and the Hereafter.

Da‘wah Message:

This noble verse carries a timeless message for every generation: the call to Tawḥīd (pure monotheism) is the foundation of all divine messages. Just as Prophet Hūd (peace be upon him) addressed his people with gentleness and brotherhood, saying "O my people," we too are invited to spread the message of Islam with wisdom, compassion, and love. The question "Will you not then fear Allah?" is a gentle yet powerful reminder that our hearts are naturally inclined to recognize the truth, and that turning to Allah in sincere worship brings peace, purpose, and protection. Let this verse inspire you to reflect: if the mighty people of ‘Ād, with all their strength and grandeur, could not escape Allah’s judgment when they rejected His messenger, then how much more do we, in our weakness, need to hold fast to the rope of Allah and worship Him alone? Embrace this beautiful call today, for in it lies your salvation and eternal success.

📜 Verse 63-67 — Al-A'raf

63أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوا وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy."

64فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا عَمِينَ

But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.

65۞ وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا ۗ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

And to the 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"

66قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي سَفَاهَةٍ وَإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars."

67قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي سَفَاهَةٌ وَلَٰكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

[Hud] said, "O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."
