    According to the Glorious Quran, Surah Hud is the 11th chapter (surah). Surah Hud has 123 ayaat (verses) and was revealed in Makkah before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated to Medina. There are two parts to this surah: 11th juz contains verses 1-5 and 12th juz contains verses 6-12.

    This Surah was revealed during the latter period of the Prophet's time in Makkah, and likely straight after Surah Yunus. Allah is the One Who nourishes and sustains all beings. The Qur'an contains the direct Word of Allah and is not fabricated by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Different styles of lectures from Nuh, Hud, Saleh, Lut and Shu'aib were given to their people who rejected the prophets' messages that brought them misfortune. Through this Surah, Allah has taught us virtuousness that will eliminate wickedness, also granting man freedom to choose whether to believe or not.

    This Surah emphasizes the importance of accepting Allah's message, obeying the Prophet, and discarding shirk. People should live with the knowledge that they will be held accountable for their actions on the Day of Judgement. It serves as a warning to those who put their faith in worldly life and reject the Prophets' messages, for they often face unpleasant consequences. Furthermore, one should not be deceived by a delay in punishment - it is only a grace from Allah to give them respite and time to mend their ways. As exemplified by the stories of Nuh, Hud, Saleh, Lut, Shu'aib and Musa in Al-Qur'an, Allah does not spare any disbeliever even if they happen to be close relatives of a Prophet. The stories of Nuh and Lut also demonstrate that one's relationship should revolve around faith rather than earthly ties.
