Quran
11.61. Und (Wir sandten) zu Tamud ihren Bruder Salih. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, dient Allah! Keinen Gott habt ihr außer Ihm. Er hat euch aus der Erde entstehen lassen und sie euch zu besiedeln gegeben. So bittet Ihn um Vergebung, hierauf bereut vor Ihm. Mein Herr ist nahe und erhört (die Gebete)."
26.139. And they denied him; therefor We destroyed them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers. (Pickthall)
26.139. Also haben sie ihn geleugnet, also haben Wir sie vernichtet. Hierin ist ja bestimmt ein Zeichen, und die meisten von ihnen waren keine Gläubigen. (Ahmad v. Denffer)
26.139. So bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge, und da vernichteten Wir sie. Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen, doch sind die meisten von ihnen nicht gläubig. (Bubenheim)
26.139. Sie ziehen ihn der Lüge, und da vernichteten Wir sie. Darin ist ein Zeichen. Doch die meisten unter ihnen glauben nicht. (Azhar)
26.139. Dann bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge, dann richteten WIR sie zugrunde. Gewiß, darin ist doch eine Aya. Und viele von ihnen waren keineMumin. (Zaidan)
26.139. Sie ziehen ihn nun der Lüge. Darauf ließen wir sie zugrunde gehen. Darin liegt ein Zeichen (das den Menschen zur Warnung dienen müßte). Doch die meisten von ihnen sind (eben) nicht gläubig. (Paret)
26.139. So hielten sie ihn für einen Lügner, und Wir vernichteten sie. Hierin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen, jedoch die meisten von ihnen glauben es nicht. (Rasul)
Tafsir von Maududi für die Ayaat 128 bis 139
What! you erect for mere pleasure, a monument on every high spot, ( 90 ) and build huge castles as if you were immortal; ( 91 ) and when you seize somebody, you seize him like a tyrant. ( 92 ) So fear Allah and obey me. Fear .Him Who has bestowed on you all that you know: He gave you cattle and children and gardens and water-springs. I fear the torment of a dreadful Day for you." They replied, "Whether you admonish us or not, it is the same for us: such things have been said in the past as well, ( 93 ) and we are certainly not going to be chastised." At last, they rejected him, and We destroyed them. ( 94 )
Desc No: 90 That is, "You build grand buildings merely to show off your wealth and power, whereas they have no use and purpose except that they stand as monuments to your grandeur and glory. "
Desc No: 91 That is, ,"Though you have built other buildings also for dwelling purposes, in order to make them grand, beautiful and strong, you expend your wealth and mental and physical abilities in a manner as if you were going to live for ever, and there was no purpose of life except seeking of comfort and pleasure and nothing beyond this worldly life which might deserve your attention." In this connection, one should bear in mind the fact that extravagance in architecture is not a solitary vice in a people. This happens as a result of a people's becoming affluent and then crazy for selfish gains and materialistic pursuits. When a people reach such a stage, their whole social system becomes corrupted and polluted. Prophet Hud's criticism of his people's extravagant and luxurious architecture was not simply aimed at the high castles and monuments, but he was actually criticising their corrupt civilization and social system, whose glaring symptoms could be seen everywhere in the land in the shape of castles and monuments.
Desc No: 92 That is,"In order to meet the demands of your ever rising standards of life, you do not rest content with small living quarters but you build castles and fortresses, and yet being unsatisfied you erect lofty edifices unnecessarily just for ostentation. But as human beings you have become so depraved that there is no mercy in your hearts for the weak, no justice for the poor, and all people of lower social strata, living inside or around your land, are being oppressed tyrannically and none is safe from your barbarities."
Desc No: 93 This can have two meanings: (1) "Whatever we are doing is not new but has been happening from the tune of our elders since centuries: they had the same creed, the same way of life, the same morality and the same kind of dealings and yet they remained unharmed and safe from every calamity. If there was any evil in this way of life, we should have met the doom with which you are threatening us." (2) "The things you are preaching have been preached and said before also by religious maniacs and so-called moralists, but they could not change the ways of the world. It has never happened that the world suffered a disaster only because people refused to listen to preachers like you."
Desc No: 94 According to the Qur'an, the people of 'Ad were destroyed by a violent windstorm. When they saw it advancing towards their valleys, they rejoiced with the hope that those were dense clouds which would bring much rain for them, but in reality it was Allah's scourge. The windstorm continued to rage for eight days and seven nights and destroyed everything. The people were swept away like straw and everything on which the hot, dry wind blew was left rotting. The storm did not abate until the last man of the wicked tribe had met his doom. Only ruins of their habitations remained to tell the tale of their terrible fate, and today even the ruins have become extinct. The whole territory of Ahqaf has turned into dreadful desert dunes. For details, see E.N. 25 of AI-Ahqaf. "
