Abstract

Aad is a tribe which is told in some prophet parables as one of the destroyed tribes and whose historic information is sprawled in Quran. This so called name, by means of sens, states an appropriate significance to its condition. The word Aad taks part in Quran in twenty-four verses and the number of verses in which the situation is told hits to fiftynine verses. When taken into consideration the name Huud the number of verses connected with the subject reach to a number of seventyone. The God sent them Huud. But, very few people had believed in him. Despite everything, Huud had continued to guide them and communicate the message of the God. He hadn't surrender to their threats and pressures on him and on his believeres, on the cotrary, he had challenged them. Because he believed that what he did and what he said is true. Moreover, he had an infinite confidience in the God. His tribe, did not consider his warnings, and was destroyed by means of inevitable and strog whildwinds, earthquakes and violent thunder bolts by the God. This work has shown that the Aad which once lived in the south of the Arabian Peninsula were an old nation who were potent, tyrant, denier, and who were strictly devoted to their ancestors' beliefs and traditions. The disaster that happened to the Aad has come the truth to the fore which is the negative belief, attitude, and behaviours of the Aad are in the ascendant. Furthermore, keeping up with their distinctive attitudes has shown that the Aad were inconsistent and irrational. The Aad parable outlines the destroyed Aad's attitudes and warns every denier, materialist, tyrant and insubordinates to the Almighty Allah for not to fall into the situation of the Aad and to stand by right and to stand against tyranny.
