The Sunnah of loss was realized in the people of ‘Aad. Allah Almighty says: {To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allah - it is those who are the losers.} [Az-Zumar: 63]. It is Allah's Sunnah that disbelievers will not succeed, and that they are the losers. This is an unchanging Sunnah.
Everything that was seen as a blessing, enjoyment, strength, and authority among the people of 'Aad was not true success according to the real values. Rather, it was a gradual entrapment that ended with misery, loss, and the great flood.
The people of ‘Aad lost their insight and understanding. They wandered in the deserts of doubts, the seas of desires, and the valleys of misguidance. And the Sunnah of loss continued: {And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allah - it is those who are the losers.} [Az-Zumar: 63].
