Talk:Aad

The city and people of Aad

Our article on the prophet Hud has a section at Hud (prophet)#Calamity upon ʿĀd.

There are some perhaps recent claims on the web concerning a city and people of Aad mentioned in Islamic writings in connection with the same prophet Hud, and which seem to be about the same city. See https://lifeinsaudiarabia.net/how-allah-vanished-the-people-of-aad-hazrat-hud-a-s-with-a-tornado/ and https://theislamicinformation.com/blogs/allah-destroyed-the-people-of-aad-city-of-aad/ for examples. One is archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20210110190121/https://lifeinsaudiarabia.net/how-allah-vanished-the-people-of-aad-hazrat-hud-a-s-with-a-tornado/ and I note that it seems to be a very recent page, while the other was not yet archived at all until I requested it just now, so maybe even more recent.

Some of this material looks suspect to say the least, the giant skeletons being the most obvious signs of a scam of some sort.

But very interested in comments from people with more knowledge of Islam. Andrewa (talk) 15:20, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
