Húd
___________________
Pronunciation: who'd
___________________
A prophet of God who appeared before Abraham to the people of ‘Ad. He is said to have been a fourth-generation descendant of Noah. He ‘proclaimed to his people that God had chosen him as a prophet, and preached to them the one true God and the destruction of their idols. But they rejected him, and only a few became his followers.'33 A calamity took place in which all perished except Húd and his followers. According to tradition, Húd is buried in Hadhramaut in the south of the Arabian peninsula.
There is a chapter of the Qur'án known as the Súrih of Húd. Bahá'u'lláh refers to Húd in the Kitáb-i-Iqán and the Lawḥ-i-Burhán.
[BD 111]
