Introduction
The main content of the surah is a series of stories of prophets who warned their people to follow God, the people persisting in defying God, and God punishing them. The sura opens with a discussion on the nature of man and the punishment that awaits those who defy God.
Noah:
Ayat 25--49 tell the story of Noah and how his people did not believe his commands to follow God. The unbelievers are drowned in a flood, which includes Noah's son.
Hud: Ayat 50--60 deal with the prophet Hud, the namesake of the
Sura. He was sent to the A'ad, an
Omani tribe which according to history crumbled sometime between the 3rd and
6th century AD. The A'ad do not believe Hud, and Hud and those who do believe are rescued by God, followed by God inflicting a "dreadful doom" on them.
Saleh: Ayat 61--68 concern the people of
Thamud and the prophet Saleh. Saleh tries to convince Thamud to repent, but once more the unbelievers ignore the prophet. Saleh offers a she-camel as an offering of
peace, but says that it should be left alone. If anything befalls it, the people will be punished. The camel is hamstrung, Saleh and those who believe are rescued, and the unbelievers are smitten by a "blast from heaven."
Lot: The Qu'ranic version of the
Biblical story of
Sodom and Gomorrah is in ayat 69--83.
Lot offers his daughters to the men of
Sodom, but they respond with disinterest and say "you know what we want." Surah 7 confirms the Biblical account of homosexuality as being the crime of Lot's people.
Shu'aib: Ayat 84--95 deal with the prophet Shu'aib sent to
Midian.
Once more, the people ignore the prophet's warnings; this time, Shu'aib reminds the people of the fate of the people of Noah, Hud, Saleh, and Lot. a powerful clan.
The remaining text of the sura discusses the general theme once more, with occasional references to
Moses. The harsh punishment is explained as "We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves."

Note on the Arabic text**
While every effort has been made for the Arabic text to be correct, it has been copied from Quran.com's text and therefore some letters might look different due to the font change. I recommend for accurate
