7. 1. Iram is the name of the grandfather of the people of 'Ad; their lineage is 'Ad bin 'Aws bin Iram bin Sam bin Nuh (Fath al-Qadeer). "Dhat al-'Imad" refers to their strength, power, and tall stature. In addition, they were highly skilled in architecture and used to construct magnificent buildings on very strong foundations. Both meanings can be included in "Dhat al-'Imad."
