Qom-e-Aad: Their background has been mentioned in Holly Quran, these people were so powerful and their heights were 70 times greater than today's man height. These people were destroyed by Allah due to disobedience. Hazrat Hood AS was sent on their nation to give the teachings of one Allah. Qom-e-Samood: Hazrat Suwaleh AS (Brother of Hazrat Hood AS) was sent to the people of Qom-e-Samood which were destroyed due to a big noise.

He is sad about the fact that he couldnt brainwash and keep all of his students as stupid. 30 out of 200, not just some random students, as the Ayatul-Satan admits but rather the BEST (Momtaz) students of the Vatican of Shiasm (Qom). So now who are the random former "Sufis" turned Rafidah like Tijani and the other heretics who have been refuted a long time ago, compared to these 30 best of the best, former Shia.? Poor Rawafid, the Tsuanmi is headed your way and towards your Rafidhi-Safawi-Neo Zoroastrian religion (12er Rafidhism). Imagine 30 ex-Shia in iran now, the BEST students of Qom, now on the path of Ahlus Sunnah and the Methodology of the Salaf (the Rawafid call it Wahhabism). Without doubt this was just the first earthquake and the following quakes are going to be even worse for you and your <b>...</b>
