6. And as for ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furious, roaring wind [5].
[5] ﴿عاتيةٍ﴾ The punishment that befell the people of 'Ad was a severe windstorm. The wind was extremely cold and icy, and this wind was so fierce that no creature could withstand it, to the extent that even the angels appointed over the management of the wind lost control over it.
