The Quran on Shaddad
editRegarding the paragraph:
According to Quran, Iram of the Pillars was a city of occult worshippers of stone idols. Shaddād defied the warnings of the prophet Hud. To punish them, God sent a drought. But the people would not repent, so they were destroyed in a large storm, from which only Hud and a few believers emerged. God smote Iram, driving it into the sands, never to be seen again.
The Quran has no reference to Shaddad. I believe the paragraph should read:
According to Quran, Iram of the Pillars was a city of occult worshippers of stone idols, who defied the warnings of the prophet Hud. To punish them, God sent a drought. But the people would not repent, so they were destroyed by a furious wind, from which only Hud and a few believers emerged.
I also changed the wording to use 'wind' instead of 'storm', and removed the 'never to be seen again' part, which is also not mentioned in the Quran. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nahla.ghoneim (talk • contribs) 19:44, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
