Quran 11:36~39 (Ayah Hud)
And it was revealed to Noah, “None of your people will believe except those who already have. So do not be distressed by what they have been doing. And build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.” So he began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, “If you laugh at us, we will ˹soon˺ laugh at you similarly. You will soon come to know who will be visited by a humiliating torment ˹in this life˺ and overwhelmed by an everlasting punishment ˹in the next˺.” Quran 11:36~39 {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.
سُوۡرَةُ هُود وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ أَنَّهُۥ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَن قَدْ ءَامَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ‏ وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ‏ وَيَصْنَعُ ٱلْفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلَأٌۭ مِّن قَوْمِهِۦ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُ ۚ قَالَ إِن تَسْخَرُوا۟ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ‏ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌۭ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌۭ مُّقِيمٌ‏
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.
نوحؑ پر وحی کی گئی کہ تمہاری قوم میں سے جو لوگ ایمان لا چکے بس وہ لا چکے، اب کوئی ماننے والا نہیں ہے ان کے کرتوتوں پر غم کھانا چھوڑو اور ہماری نگرانی میں ہماری وحی کے مطابق ایک کشتی بنانی شروع کر دو اور دیکھو، جن لوگوں نے ظلم کیا ہے اُن کے حق میں مجھ سے کوئی سفارش نہ کرنا، یہ سارے کے سارے اب ڈوبنے والے ہیں نوحؑ کشتی بنا رہا تھا اور اس کی قوم کے سرداروں میں سے جو کوئی اس کے پاس سے گزرتا تھا وہ اس کا مذاق اڑاتا تھا اس نے کہا "اگر تم ہم پر ہنستے ہو تو ہم بھی تم پر ہنس رہے ہیں عنقریب تمہیں خود معلوم ہو جائے گا کہ کس پر وہ عذاب آتا ہے جو اُسے رسوا کر دے گا اور کس پر وہ بلا ٹوٹ پڑتی ہے جو ٹالے نہ ٹلے گی"
