The Ad in the Quran or

remnants of the Atlanteans

here are some study threads

Key word the Ad, There could be links to Atlantis through the knowledge of the Ad/Andites/ Atlanteans.
Ad, 7:65, 7:74, 9:70, 11:50-60, 22:42, 25:38, 26:123-140, 29:38, 38:12, 41:15-16, 46:21-26, 50:13, 51:41, 53:50, 54:18-21, 69:4, 69:6, 89:6

The Ad, Its demise sounds very similar to the Atlantis rendition in type, though a disaster.

069.006
YUSUFALI: And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
PICKTHAL: And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,
SHAKIR: And as to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast.

Keyword Adam, There could be interesting link to Adam and the garden and about Judgement day.
Adam, 2:31-32, 3:33, 5:27, 7:19-25, 17:61, 17:70, 18:50, 19:58, 20:115-123, 40:31, 41:13, 41:15

Keyword, Gabriel, 2:97, 66:4

002.097
YUSUFALI: Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe,-
PICKTHAL: Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): Who is an enemy to Gabriel! For he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah's leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers;
SHAKIR: Say: Whoever is the enemy of Jibreel-- for surely he revealed it to your heart by Allah's command, verifying that which is before it and guidance and good news for the believers.

(note in the following the seven connection in the disaster of the deluge in terms of time in days and  nights.  )

069.007
YUSUFALI: He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
PICKTHAL: Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.
SHAKIR: Which He made to prevail against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you might have seen the people therein prostrate as if they were the trunks of hollow palms.

(looks in the following the Ad was wiped out.)

069.008
YUSUFALI: Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
PICKTHAL: Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them?
SHAKIR: Do you then see of them one remaining?

(And the you have the Egyptian link and we know that the earlier Egyptian were connected to the Andites the later progeny of the Ad and note the location near Egypt, the Eastern Mediterranean.)

069.009
YUSUFALI: And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.
PICKTHAL: And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,
SHAKIR: And Firon and those before him and the overthrown cities continuously committed sins.

The the time/space element the time before the Egyptians and its connection to deluge that overthrew cities.  In the following is more about the Ad., those before him, (those before the Egyptians, the first Atlanteans.

007.074
YUSUFALI: "And remember how He made you inheritors after the 'Ad people and gave you habitations in the land: ye build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open) plains, and care out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth."
PICKTHAL: And remember how He made you viceroys after A'ad and gave you station in the earth. Ye choose castles in the plains and hew the mountains into dwellings. So remember (all) the bounties of Allah and do not evil, making mischief in the earth.
SHAKIR: And remember when He made you successors after Ad and settled you in the land-- you make mansions on its plains and hew out houses in the mountains-- remember therefore Allah's benefits and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief.

 

026.123
YUSUFALI: The 'Ad (people) rejected the messengers.
PICKTHAL: (The tribe of) A'ad denied the messengers (of Allah).
SHAKIR: Ad gave the lie to the messengers.

and

029.038
YUSUFALI: (Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (does this mean rediscovery of the origins, like the foundations of the Ad of the Past. Like in all the ancient foundations) (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intelligence and skill. (A reflection of the root cause of the demise of the Ad)
PICKTHAL: And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud! (Their fate) is manifest unto you from their (ruined and deserted) dwellings. Satan made their deeds seem fair unto them and so debarred them from the Way, though they were keen observers.
SHAKIR: And (We destroyed) Ad and Samood, and from their dwellings (this) is apparent to you indeed; and the Shaitan made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so he kept them back from the path, though they were endowed with intelligence and skill,

and the arrogance of the Ad

041.015
YUSUFALI: Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!  (the Demise of the Ad, would listen to the Warnings, sounds like today, a metaphor for our times.)
PICKTHAL: As for A'ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who created them, He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our revelations.
SHAKIR: Then as to Ad, they were unjustly proud in the land, and they said: Who is mightier in strength than we? Did they not see that Allah Who created them was mightier than they in strength, and they denied Our communications?

and the Ad and warnings

046.021
YUSUFALI: Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he warned his people about the winding Sand-tracts: but there have been warners before him and after him: "Worship ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Mighty Day."
PICKTHAL: And make mention (O Muhammad) of the brother of A'ad when he warned his folk among the wind-curved sandhills - and verily warners came and went before and after him - saying: Serve none but Allah. Lo! I fear for you the doom of a tremendous Day.
SHAKIR: And mention the brother of Ad; when he warned his people in the sandy plains,-- and indeed warners came before him and after him-- saying Serve none but Allah; surely I fear for you the punishment of a grievous day.

and the Egyptian connection.

050.013
YUSUFALI: The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut,
Here is a urantia book search of Lut, a connection that goes back to Dalamatia City
PICKTHAL: And (the tribe of) A'ad, and Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot,
SHAKIR: And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,

and

051.041
YUSUFALI: And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
PICKTHAL: And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them.
SHAKIR: And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.

and

053.050
YUSUFALI: And that it is He Who destroyed the (powerful) ancient 'Ad (people),
The city in the desert Ubar was probably the last remnants f the Ad.
PICKTHAL: And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad,
SHAKIR: And that He did destroy the Ad of old

and again a warning was given beforehand to the Ancient Ad and rejected it and the flood came upon them.

054.018
YUSUFALI: The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
PICKTHAL: (The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings.
SHAKIR: Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was My punishment and My warning!

and The rendition of the flood that destroyed the Atlantean civilisation 34,000 years ago

069.004
YUSUFALI: The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
PICKTHAL: (The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.
SHAKIR: Samood and Ad called the striking calamity a lie.

069.005
YUSUFALI: But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
PICKTHAL: As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.
SHAKIR: Then as to Samood, they were destroyed by an excessively severe punishment.

069.006
YUSUFALI: And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
PICKTHAL: And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,
SHAKIR: And as to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast.

and

069.006
YUSUFALI: And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
PICKTHAL: And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,
SHAKIR: And as to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast.

and the consequence of rejection the underlying message for perhaps today?

089.006
YUSUFALI: Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),-
PICKTHAL: Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,
SHAKIR: Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
