Hūd (Arabic: هُودٌ, romanized: Hūd), sometimes called Eber, is believed in Islam to have been a messenger sent to pre-Islamic Arabia. Hud is repeatedly mentioned in the Quran,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] whose eleventh chapter is also named after him (although a small portion of it is actually about him).[3]
