The wind of Hud

He said, prostrate to Allah and no one else. Submit your desires over His order. Surrender for today. Stop looking for immediate rewards and puns. Hold for a moment. Look at the signs. The sky, the skin, the nails on your fingers, the flesh on your bones, and the world beneath you, and the life inside you. Hold on and ponder, there is so much to grab, and so much to find the purpose. Please open your eyes and return to be among the people who help people, stay truthful, act humble and become a source of light.

Corruption was at its peak. Small rewards and a lot of work. People were accustomed to live in slavery of their lords or their desires. The society had toppled in morale. Lack of sincerity and love for wealth had blindfolded these tribes. Couldn't look, think, feel or let go their hollow pride.

He said, else, you are doomed. This will not help you. All the security and safety you have gathered around you, is one wind storm away. But they, mocked him. Forgot him. And continued living the life of slavery. Allah (swt) sent one storm, and the strongest people in history vanished. He protected His people, who were small in number, had surrendered their desires, carried discipline, wore simplicity, earned respect and won the glory. Both in this world — and the world about to come.
