Hud (sura)

Hud ( Arabic هود, DMG Hūd ) is the 11th sura of the Koran , it contains 123 verses . The sura is dated to the third Meccan period (620–622), with the exception of verses 12, 17 and 114, which are said to have been written in Medina . Its title refers to the prophet Hūd , whose story is mentioned in verses 50-60.

This sura leaves the impression of a clearly structured sermon . The Islamic commentators place it after the previous sura , with which it has many topics in common. The introduction (verses 1 to 24) deals with the omnipotence of God, the impermanence of man and the divine origin of the Koranic revelation. Then verses 25 to 99 contain the stories of some prophets in a more detailed form than in Sura 10: Noach (verses 25-49), Hud (50-60), Salih (61-68), Abraham (69-83), Schuʿayb ( 84-95) and Moses (96-99). The closing verses, from verse 100 onwards, summarize the meaning of the past events and the earlier prophets.

The disagreement among men raised in verse 118 is a reference to the term Ichtilāf , which in Islamic jurisprudence denotes a disagreement among legal scholars.
