==The Story of Hud==

The Qur'an states that Hud was sent as a warning to the people of 'Ad (عاد). The recently discovered city of Iram (إرَم), is believed to have been the capital of 'Ad.

Although there is no mention of the amount of time elapsed after Noah in the Qur'an, according to The Flood that had struck generations past and had begun worshipping idols made of stone. Despite Hud's warnings and admonitions the people persisted in their idolatry (''shirk''). To punish them, Allah sent a drought. Even after the drought, the people would not relent, so they were destroyed in a large storm from which only Hud and a few believers emerged.

Some Muslims believe that Hud lived for about 150 years and received revelations and prophethood sometime around 2400 BC. The Quran and Muhammad said nothing about the exact amount of years of Hud's lifespan or when exactly he was sent (it mentioned only after Noah). Thus, this debate subject to academic discussion on secular level.

Several sites are revered as his tomb, the most noted of which is located in the deserted village of the Wadi Hadhramaut, in Yemen.
