‘Ad (Arabic: عاد‎‎, ʿĀd) was an ancient tribe mentioned frequently in the Qur'an. ‘Ad is usually placed in the south of Arabia, in a location referred to as al-Ahqaf. The tribe's members, referred to as ‘Adites, formed a prosperous nation until destroyed in a violent storm after they had rejected the divine message preached by Hud. ‘Ad is regarded as one of the original Arab tribes, the "lost Arabs".
