(Al-Fajr) 89 : 7
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
The ‘Iram’ tribe, the owners of the pillars.
The people of Prophet Hood are known as ‘Aad’ or the ‘Iram tribe’. It is asked to the Messenger, and thereby to the believers, whether they have understood from the Book how the beginning, the middle, and the end of these gigantic human beings. Since they were constructing buildings with high pillars, they are known as “owners of pillars.” See explanation 26: 129-130.
