For other meanings of Hud, see this article

Hud is a prophet in the Quran. He is known in the Bible as Heber.


According to Islamic traditions, Hud was born five generations after Nuh as was Eber but only according to the Septaguint. In that time, his people had completely forgotten about the flood that had struck the Earth in the generations past, and had begun worshipping idols made of stone. Despite Hud's warnings and admonitions, the people persisted in their idolatry. To punish them, God sent a drought. Even after this drought, the people would not relent, so they were destroyed in a large storm, from which only Hud and a few believers emerged.
