Surah Hud (سورة هُود) with Urdu Translation

Hud (Arabic: هُود‎, Hūd, "Hud"), is the 11th chapter (Surah) of the Quran with 123 Ayahs (verses). It is about the prophet Hud (A.S). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan / Makki surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca (Makkah), instead of later in Medina.

Exegesis:
Quran 11 opens with a discussion on the nature of man and the punishment that awaits those who defy God. Thereafter, the main content of the surat is a series of stories of prophets who warned their people to follow God, the people persisting in defying God, and God punishing and killing them.

Verses 11:25 - 11:49
Verses 11:25-49 tell the story of Noah and how his people did not believe his commands to follow God. The unbelievers are drowned in a flood, which includes Noah's son; Noah asks God about this act, but God rebukes Noah as being ignorant and says that Noah's son is "not a member of his family." Surah 66, At-Tahrim, elaborates on this and says that Noah's wife is an unbeliever in hell who was unfaithful to her husband:11:25-49

Verses 11:50 - 11:60
Verses 11:50-60 deal with the prophet Hud, the namesake of the Surah. He was sent to the ʠĀd, an Omani tribe which according to history crumbled sometime between the 3rd and 6th century AD. The ʠĀd do not believe Hud, and Hud and those who do believe are rescued by God, followed by God inflicting a "dreadful doom" on them so that they were "accursed in the world."
