O Allah, make it a punishment for the disbelievers and a salvation for the believers.
Don't you fear? I only fear Allah.
We will not abandon our iman.
Leave it. They used to say: Who is stronger than us?
They built a city the like of which was never created in the land, so the sky cursed them. I am the last one left.
Let me tell you their story. The story of the people of 'Ad, Hud, and the wind that swallowed them.
My father, why are you carving this?
This is our god, Hud.
We worship it. Have you ever heard of a god that is worshipped by the one who made it?
Do not say that. The gods protect us. Who created the sky and who created the earth? Be quiet! Do not speak like that. I am just asking.
Your questions will bring us misfortune. Go and work.
How can they worship what they made with their own hands? There must be a greater Creator.
What is the news from Medina? Everything is under control, my lord. And the army?
Stronger than ever. Who can stand against us? It is Hud, the son of the sculptor.
And what does the son of the sculptor want in the council of the elders? I have come to warn you.
Warn us about what? About yourselves, about your arrogance, about the punishment of Allah. The punishment of Allah.
Which god are you talking about? Allah, who created you. We worship our gods.
Do your gods hear you? They are stones you carve. How can you speak like this? I want to save you. Come closer, Hud, you are a brave man.
Or crazy, neither brave nor crazy.
Only the truth. And what is your truth?
You worship idols you made, and you abandon Allah who created you and sent me to you. Poor man, get him out, but do not kill him.
I want to see him suffer, you will see when the punishment comes.
Your army and your towers will not help you. My people, worship Allah, you have no god but Him. Have you come to forbid us our gods?
A day will come, a day will come when you will feel the double of what you did. Are you challenging my strength?
I am not challenging your strength, I am afraid for you. I am carrying a mountain on my back. Tomorrow you will carry dust. Hit me, it will not change anything. Crazy.
I believe you, but I'm afraid.
Fear none but Allah, He protects you. Jews.
What brought you here? I hear your words in the market, in the gathering.
Afraid of what? Of you being right. If you are right, salvation is in following the truth.
But people mock. All of this will pass. Allah is the One who created this universe. Why don't we see Him? Because He is greater than the eyes, but we see Him in everything. I believe. Welcome to the path.
But people mock.
The king threatens, the priests lie.
All of this will vanish, what remains is Allah. Allah is the One who created this universe, who created the stars you see.
He created you and created me, He provides for us, He has mercy on us.
He loves us. Why do we not see Him?
Whoever believes is saved, and whoever denies is doomed. This is the way of Allah.
I believe, I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah.
What brought you to the house of the gods?
This is not a house of gods, this is a house of stones.
We are servants of the gods. Serving the stones.
Can your gods hear you? Can they see you? Can they protect you? They are stones you carve with your own hands. We will destroy you.
We will make people kill you. Do whatever you want, but know that Allah sees you and will hold you accountable.
Hud's matter is becoming more dangerous.
Some of them started to doubt, some of them believed him.
How can the son of a stonecutter be believed? How? I am the one who made them double, I am the one who owns everything.
We leave him until people get bored.
Then we strike him, but not now.
Why wait? Because killing him now will make him a martyr. But if he continues.
And we show that he is lying, people will turn away from him.
Our gods, I do not believe in them. I only believe in my own strength. My lord, do not say that.
I am the one who built this Medina, I am the one who led the armies, I am the one who owns everything.
But the people believe in the gods. The people need to believe in something. Give them the idols, and I will give them fear.
Hud will end up like everyone who stood in my way.
My father, tell me, have you ever made an idol that heard you, saw you, or fed you?
You are always questioning. This is my job, this is the heritage of our ancestors. My ancestors were wrong, and I am more deserving to be followed. Then what? What comes after death?
My father, I fear for you, so believe with me.
And what will people say? I can't leave everything. Go, Hud, and leave me. My father.
My Lord, if You exist.
Then forgive me. Praise be to Allah who has guided you.
You are the core of the truth.
We are afraid, the king is lying in wait.
Fear Allah, as for the king, he will perish.
But they are strong, their army is huge. Did you forget what Allah did to those before them? The power of Allah cannot be overcome.
How do we remain steadfast? With sabr, with prayer, with reliance on Allah, and Allah is with us.
O people of 'Ad.
We are the greatest umma, we built towers that pierce the sky, who is stronger than us?
Hud says his Lord will be angry with us. Where is his Lord?
Where is his punishment? I am here.
Here he comes to warn us. Tell us, Hud, when will your Lord's punishment come?
Knowledge of that is with Allah, but it is near. Near? We have been waiting for it for years.
You have become bored, arrogant, and unjust, so the punishment is due upon you. He will send a wind.
A wind like you have never seen before. A wind! Are we afraid of the wind? We build towers that withstand the wind.
Your towers will fall, your bodies will be blown away, and nothing will benefit you. Listen, Hud, I am the one who owns this city, I am the god!
You are a weak servant, Allah created you, and Allah will cause you to die. I could kill you now, do it, but know that my death will not save you.
Are you not afraid? I fear only Allah.
Look at him, weak and he does not scare us.
People, and do not weep for my condition.
The punishment is coming, so whoever wants to be saved, let him have iman.
So let him believe. O Prophet of Allah, the paths have become narrow for us, the king is chasing us. Be patient, for Allah is with those who are patient.
My children are hungry, merchants refuse to sell to us.
Be patient, for Allah is with those who are patient.
How long should we be patient? Until the command of Allah comes, and it is near.
I am blind, but I see the truth in your words.
Tell me what to do. Hold on to your iman.
And know that Allah sees your heart. I am afraid I will die before I see victory. Victory is not seeing their destruction.
Victory is to die with iman, to die with iman.
Tell us about jannah, O Prophet of Allah. Jannah is what Allah has prepared for those with sabr. In it are rivers of honey and fruits that never end.
And there is no fear and no sadness.
But the most important thing is seeing Allah.
And eternal peace.
I hope to be among them. You will be, if you remain steadfast.
What is this color? I have never seen anything like this before.
This is a bad omen.
O Allah, make it a punishment for the disbelievers and a salvation for the believers. What is this?
I don't know, my master. The priests say it's a sign of the gods' anger. Which gods? Tell me, what is this?
I don't know. We gathered the wise men, no one knows.
This is the work of Hud, it's magic. But how? It doesn't matter.
We will find a solution, we are strong. My people, this is a warning.
So believe before it's too late. What's happening?
How do we survive? Believe in Allah alone, leave the idols. Don't listen to him, he's a sorcerer, magic from the sky.
O Hud, you are the only one who rejoices in this. I do not rejoice.
I feel sad for you. Listen, I will give you a share of my kingdom. I do not want your kingdom, I want your salvation.
My salvation from what? From the Fire, the Fire of Jahannam. Jahannam? You are a child playing with power.
I will not die, I am a god! You will die, and everyone will know that you are just a human.
I will make you witness the destruction of your followers first. You will not be able to, Allah protects them. Arrest everyone who believes in him.
We will not leave our iman. Leave him.
This man did nothing.
Then arrest me and leave them. We will take you to the king.
Take me, but know that the punishment of Allah is coming.
What is this?
This is the beginning of the end.
Close the doors, close everything.
My children! Where are my children?
Close the doors, close everything! We can't, the wind is breaking everything!
Where are your gods?
O Saad, leave it. I can't, I can't. You are the servant of the gods.
Call them! The gods do not hear, the gods are stones. You are a liar!
You deceived us, and you are our king, you are the god.
Hold on to each other!
I can't see! Hold hands!
Here we will be safe, inshaAllah.
O Lord, save us and destroy the wrongdoers.
I am the god! I am the god!
O Hud! Save me!
Where is Medina? Where are the people?
They perished just as I warned them.
Praise be to Allah who saved us.
And now we will start again.
A believing umma. And thus the people of 'Ad perished except those who believed, as for the rest.
