Who were the people of 'Ad, what was their life like, what was the reason for God's wrath upon them, and what was their height?

The people of Ad were Arabs, who dwelled in Al-Ahqaf, between Hadramawt and Oman, living in large tents. They were the first to worship idols after Noah. So, Allah destroyed them with wind for disbelieving Hud and for their arrogance. They were taller than others of their kind, and some of the predecessors mentioned that the tallest among them was one hundred cubits, and the shortest was sixty cubits.
