قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

‏ . قوم عاد؛ نیرومند و دارای تمدنی پیشرفته

جملةٌ «و زادکم فی الخلق بصطة» اشاره به قدرت جسمانی قوم عاد دارد؛ زیرا هم از یات متعدد قرآن و هم از تواریخ بر می‌آید که آنما مردمی درشت استخوان و قوی پیکر و نیرومند بودند و تمدنی پیشرفته و سرزمینی آباد و سبز و خرم داشتند. در أَیةهْ ۱۵ سور فصلت از قول آنها می‌خوانیم: «من أَشد منا قَوَة» (چه کسی از ما نیرومندتر است). در ی ۷ سورهٌ «حاقه» هم در مورد بلایی که به جرم اعمالشان بر سر آنها آمده, می‌خوانیم: «و می‌دیدی که آن قوم (عاد) همانند تنه‌های پوسیده و توخالی درختان نخل در میان تندباد روی زمین افتاده و هلاک شده‌اند.»!
