I want to ask about the people of 'Ad, and what were their physiques like?
The people of 'Ad were powerful Arabs who resided in Al-Ahqaf in Yemen. They were known for their tyranny, obstinacy, and idol worship. The Quran mentioned their severe might and arrogance, such as in the Almighty's saying: "Do you build on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves? And do you take for yourselves palaces that you might abide eternally? And when you strike, you strike as tyrants" and "As for 'Ad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, 'Who is greater than us in strength?' Did they not consider that Allah who created them is greater than them in strength? But they were denying Our signs." So, Allah destroyed them with a barren wind.
