Surah Al-A'raf (7:65)

وَاِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمۡ هُوۡدًا ؕ قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ اِلٰهٍ غَيۡرُهٗ ؕ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Wa-ila AAadin akhahumhoodan qala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha malakum min ilahin ghayruhu afala tattaqoon

And to the ʿAad We sent their brother Hūd. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Mission of Hud: The sending of Hud to the people of Ad to command monotheism.

The Insight

The story of Hud is recounted, commanding his people (Ad) to worship God alone and maintain piety. **Uphold the core message.** Every prophet's mission is fundamentally a call back to pure monotheism and righteous conduct.
