The tribe's members, referred to as ʿĀdites, formed a prosperous nation until they were destroyed in a violent storm. According to Islamic tradition, the storm came after they had rejected the teachings of a monotheistic prophet named Hud.[1][2] ʿĀd is regarded as one of the original tribes of Arabia, "The Extinct Arabs".
