11. Surah Hud
11. Surah Hud This is 52nd Surah according to the order of revelation. This is a Makki Surah revealed soon after the previous Surah. It has 123 verses and 10 sections. 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. Introduction to the Sections
