Quran 11:32~35 (Ayah Hud)
They (disbelieving people) protested, “O Noah! You have argued with us far too much, so bring upon us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true.” He responded, “It is Allah Who can bring it upon you if He wills, and then you will have no escape ! My advice will not benefit you— no matter how hard I try— if Allah wills ˹for˺ you to stray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.” Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If I have done so, then I bear the burden of that sin! But I am free from your sinful accusation.” Quran 11:32~35 {Surah Hud}
The mention of Prophet Hud occurs more time in this Surah than any other Surah of the Qur’an. It appears a total of 5 times.
The Prophet refered to this surah as Hud in a number of hadeeth. Abu Bakr once said to the Prophet, ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have become old.’ The Prophet said, ‘I have become old [due to] [Surah] Hud, al-Waqiah [56], al-Murasalat [77], Amma yatasailoon [an-Naba 78] and Waidha ash-Shamsu kuwirat [at-Takweer 81].” [Tirmidhee]
There are 123 Ayat in this Surah.
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰنُوحُ قَدْ جَـٰدَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ‏ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ‏ وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِىٓ إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ ۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ‏ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ‏
In this Surah we have the stories of Prophets Noah, Salih, Hud, Lot, Shuaib and Moses – peace be upon them all. The basic point is that Allah sent His Prophets and Messengers to mankind out of His grace and mercy, but when people did not listen to the Prophets and rejected their message then Allah’s punishment came and came relentlessly. It did not make any difference whether someone was the son of a Prophet or his wife or any one, none could escape Allah’s judgment.
آخر کار ان لوگوں نے کہا کہ "اے نوحؑ، تم نے ہم سے جھگڑا کیا اور بہت کر لیا اب تو بس وہ عذاب لے آؤ جس کی تم ہمیں دھمکی دیتے ہو اگر سچے ہو" نوحؑ نے جواب دیا "وہ تو اللہ ہی لائے گا، اگر چاہے گا، اور تم اتنا بل بوتا نہیں رکھتے کہ اسے روک دو اب اگر میں تمہاری کچھ خیر خواہی کرنا بھی چاہوں تو میری خیر خواہی تمہیں کوئی فائدہ نہیں دے سکتی جبکہ اللہ ہی نے تمہیں بھٹکا دینے کا ارادہ کر لیا ہو، وہی تمہارا رب ہے اور اُسی کی طرف تمہیں پلٹنا ہے" اے محمدؐ، کیا یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ اِس شخص نے یہ سب کچھ خود گھڑ لیا ہے؟ ان سے کہو "اگر میں نے یہ خود گھڑا ہے تو مجھ پر اپنے جرم کی ذمہ داری ہے، اور جو جرم تم کر رہے ہو اس کی ذمہ داری سے میں بری ہوں"
