Hud 50-52
50- AND TO ADE WE SENT THEIR BROTHER HUD, HE SAID: “O PEOPLE, WORSHIP ALLAH, YOU HAVE NO GOD OTHER THAN HIM, YOU ARE BUT MAKING LIES”.
51- “MY PEOPLE, I DO NOT ASK YOU FOR A RECOMPENSE FOR THIS, MY REWARD IS UPON HE WHO CREATED ME, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND”.
52- “O PEOPLE, ASK YOUR LORD FOR FORGIVENESS AND REPENT TO HIM, HE WILL THEN SEND THE HEAVENS DOWN UPON YOU POURING WITH RAIN, AND WILL INCREASE YOUR POWER, OVER YOUR PRESENT POWER, AND DO NOT TURN AWAY AS TRANSGRESSORS.
Allah the Highest sent the people of Ade a man from among them as a prophet, called Hud. His mission was like that of all the prophets and messengers before and after him, which was to guide people to believe in Allah and to follow His way. They have to understand that all the gods they believe in are but lies invented by man. The only real god and creator is Allah the Highest.
The way out of their disbelief is to:-
Ask Allah the Highest for forgiveness for having worshipped partners besides him.
Repent to Allah the Highest for having worshipped partners with Him. Repenting is to regret the sinning and to abstain from it.
Hud, peace upon him, reassured his people that, like the other prophets and messengers, he did not preach expecting any recompense or reward, for this will come, only from Allah the Highest, his Creator. All the prophets and messengers, peace upon them, said this to their people.
After reassuring, them that the belief which he is inviting them to, is of no cost to themselves, Hud, peace upon him, told them about the reward, starting with the immediate reward in this life, and before the Hereafter. The rewards promised were two:
- Plenty of rain. Rain has always been and is still the source of, water, vegetation, wealth and prosperity. A country deprived of rain for sometime often faces famine. Noah, peace upon him, promised his people rain too, when they did not respond, rain drowned them. Allah the Highest said in Sorat Noah: “I SAID: “ASK YOUR LORD FOR FORGIVENESS, FOR HE IS MOST FORGIVING * HE WILL SEND THE HEAVENS DOWN WITH RAIN UPON YOU * AND WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH WEALTH AND CHILDREN AND WILL LET YOU HAVE GARDENS AND WILL LET YOU HAVE RIVERS”. (S:71 A:10-12)
- To give them power, more than the power they had been given. Having more power is in part what Allah the Highest gives with His support for the believers, as well as the power they may have when they become prosperous.
To turn away from this is to transgress, against Allah the Highest and against their own selves.
