Meaning: Hud
Total Ayahs: 123
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah Hud carries powerful warnings and reminders through the stories of past prophets—Nuh, Hud, Salih, Ibrahim, Lut, Shu’ayb, and Musa. It stresses the destruction faced by those who rejected messengers. The Surah also comforts the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the believers in the face of persecution and hardship. It conveys the message that divine punishment is real, but so is mercy for the steadfast.
Establish truth with patience and avoid being deceived by worldly power. The struggle between good and evil is ancient, and divine justice always prevails.
The Prophet (PBUH) said, 'Surah Hud and its sisters have made me gray,' referring to its heavy message of accountability and divine justice. It offers reflection on sincerity, perseverance, and leadership.
11:6 "وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ..." – Allah provides for all creation.
11:88 "إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا ٱلْإِصْلَٰحَ..." – Prophet Shu’ayb’s famous plea for reform.
11:114 "إِنَّ ٱلْحَسَنَٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ..." – good deeds erase bad ones.
Success is not in numbers or power, but in truth and endurance. True reform begins with sincerity. Every nation must heed the lessons of history.
