According to the Qu'ran, Iram of the Pillars was a city of occult worshippers of stone idols, who defied the warnings of the prophet Hud. To punish them, God sent a drought. But the people would not repent, so they were destroyed by a furious wind, from which only Prophet Hud and a few believers emerged. Which later descended to the tribe of Thamud, which stayed in Northern Arabia around the Nabatean Kingdom. While Ad may have stayed in Southern Arabia around Yemen or Oman.
