The nation of Aad was a nation that

They were very powerful

40 cubits tall

800 to 900 years old

Source

They were not old

Not sick

No teeth break

Nor would the sight be weak

Stay young and healthy

They just wanted to die

Nothing else happened

Only death came

Allah Almighty sent Hazrat Hud (peace be upon him) to them

He invited Allah

Threatened by the grip of Allah

But he said

Oh Hud! Our gods have corrupted your mind

Go pray your nafl

Don't scare us

Don't beat us

At your word, will we leave the ways of our fathers?

Your mind is broken

Go do your job

Haji Namazi of great good conduct

If we follow your orders, we will die of hunger

They challenged Allah with a storm of polytheism, cruelty and sins

In arrogance and pride, he spoke badly

فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُ‌وا فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ بِغَيْرِ‌ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ۖ أَوَلَمْ يَرَ‌وْا أَنَّ اللَّـهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۖ وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ ﴿١٥﴾

Now the people of Aad started rebellion in the land for no reason and said who is stronger than us? (1) Did they not see that the One who created him is (much) more powerful than them, (2) they continued to deny (3) Our verses (until the end).

Is there someone more powerful than us?

Who scares us?

Allah sent famine

Hungry

Eat all the grain

Livestock was eaten

They came to Haram

Rats ate cats and dogs

Eat snakes

The tree was felled and its leaves were eaten

Hunger or soil

No rain fell, no drop fell, no grain grew

Then he got fed up and sent a delegation to Baitullah

It was their rule that when there was trouble, they would call on the superiors

When it was far away, they started worshiping their idols

Baitullah went to the delegation and said, "Pray to Allah for us to send rain."

Allah presented 3 clouds

black

white

red

Allah said: Choose one of them

They consulted among themselves

That happens in red

White is empty

Black contains water

Ask for black

Allah Ta'ala said, come back, I am sending a cloud

They returned happily

Everyone gathered in a field

The cloud came

They started dancing that it will rain now

Famine will end

There will be food

Did you know?

That it is not the rain but the punishment of Allah

What you used to say to Hud

Bring it! Which scares us

There was such a rush in this cloud that

Who picked them up and blew up their houses

60 hands tall and people were flying like straws

The wind was hitting their heads so hard that their hands came out and hung on their faces.

Some people ran away and entered the cave because the wind cannot come here

But the order of my Lord remains

The wind would enter the cave like a tornado and throw them out

Allah said

The fruit remains

Source

Is there any left?

Allah showed by killing them that when you disobey Allah and His Messenger

Allah will send punishment on you from a place where you cannot imagine

The sin committed by the people of Aad

Aren't we doing that?

Have we not crossed the limits of Allah?

Have we not challenged Allah by our disobedience?

Repent

Fear Allah

Read the Quran

The sins that we consider minor, Allah has destroyed entire nations for these sins.
