Prophet Hud Alaihisalam [4]

Back to me dear reader, today i want to share about Prophet Huud alaihisalam. He was one of 'father' from jazirah Arab, the place named "Al-Ahqaf", north of Hadramaut atr Yaman and Umman. This umat / caste was famous for their strength, because their body was so big and tall. Allah also gave them the fertile land and also the spa (stock of water), so they could growing up the plants and gave the food for their animals/livestock. And, they also had park or ground which planted by beautiful flower. They was living prosperity, and became a biggest caste on their era. But, sadly they didnt know Allah, the Creator. They choosed to make statue to be their God. They believed their's statue gave them happiness and profit.

Because, the wrong aqidah, made their lifestyle governable by the devil / satan. There was no akhlak, they loved to make disturbing things, they raped women, they preied from the poor. They was so arrogant, magniloquent, envy, and haters. They followed their desire, without love, honest, and modesty.

Allah sent Prophet Nuh alaihisalam to them from them caste. He was born from highly regarded family. Since he was child, he known as a good boy and very wise. Prophet Hud began his dakwah by asked them to saw the nature which made - must be- by Allah subhanahu wata'ala. The statue has no power, they are useless. But, because of they was so arrogant, and they was never heard about that before, they ignored. They was also insulting him and asked him to follow their ancestor. But, surely Prophet Hud ignored, he said that Allah was a creator, he made them and him, he mad the earth and live. The ancestor was wrong, and this was the truth. (shortly, nearly like this). And they told to Prophet Hud, that he were only a lier, he were not the Prophet, he had no plus from them and he were crazy. They believed, Hud would get damnation by their god.

Allah punished them by two things; First, there was dryness which made their land and ground became unfertilized. So, they was become afraid if they wouldnt get food just like usual. On that situation, Prophet Hud still tried to advising them, told that Allah punished them, and asked them to repent and forswear, but they was impenitent.

Their challenged got the answer with the second punishment. Allah sent the dark cloud, which welcomed by their happiness, but in fact that was not the rain cloud for their ground but that was a big hurricane which broken all the houses. The Aad became panic, they was running all over the way, forgot their own family, ran everywhere  liked a crazy. That was happened for seven night, and the place became flat and so silent.

Prophet Nuh and the believer get blessed by Allah, after the hurricane they left that place, hijrah to Hadramaut until Prophet Nuh died there. 

Insyaallah, we can learn many lesson from this story :

Keep sabar, open hearth, although you find the most arrogant people. Dont answer the insult by insult, but still control your emotion don loss your mind. Remember: Allah! Just advising them by lovely words. On your dialogue keep make your niat : Lillahita'ala. Try them to think rational, using your 'healthy mind' with the acceptable evidence's.Insyaallah, hopefuly, Allah give our self, family and friends the hidayah.
