Lesson
The people of ’Aad tribe accused Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him) with two charges:
1. That
is not a matter of common sense, whichever you say. Near to them, it was
against the common sense that any such a program is produced against those
customs and traditions, which have been established since long.
2. If
anyone is entirely separate from all other people, he should tell about that
matter, which should be easy for believing that it is the truth. Otherwise, only
claim without proof is able to be considered as a lie.
Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him) answers to these charges. It is commanded
that Hud (peace be upon Him) said: As
you say to Me a foolish due to the reason that I tell you about most strange
matter, listen to Me! I do not say anything from Me side (at my own), but I
have brought the Message of that Eternal Existent, Who is Lord of the entire
Worlds, for deliverance unto you, He has appointed Me as a Messenger. It were
foolishness, if I had told you such thing which I would have invented any new
thing myself for my own purpose and then conveyed it to you. And in the matter,
in which, you consider Me a liar, is not correct, because I was and am your well-wisher
always, and I say to you only that command, in which, I see your Good. And even
I explain that I have never deceived you, nor committed any kind of
treacherousness, dishonesty or fraud with you. You trusted in Me always. While
you know that I am not habitual of cheating you and accomplishing My desire,
then why are you doubtful in this matter that I am deceiving you by telling a
lie? Do you marvel that your Lord selects a man from your own folk, reminds you
your forgotten promises by means of that man (Messenger – peace be upon Him)
and warns you by obeying His (your Lord’s) Commands that you should get ready
to be saved from the wrath of Allah Almighty, otherwise there will be no
shelter for inattentive and careless people after arrival of the wrath and
neither there will be any individual, who may save you. Only those people are
saved who pass their life in accordance with the Guidance of Allah Almighty.
The people of ‘Aad tribe used nearly those words for Prophet Hud (peace be upon Him) too, which were used by the nation of Noah
for Prophet Noah (peace be upon Him). And the same answers almost have been
described by Hud (peace be upon Him)
which were of Noah (peace be upon Him). Moreover, till to date, the same
objections are urged upon the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon Them),
whereas the replies of those objections are also the same as those were during
those periods.
