PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)
PART: 1 (Chapter – 5)
WHO WERE THAMUD?
Thamud was a famous tribe, who were named after their forefather Thamud, the brother of Jadis. Both are the sons of Athir bin Iram bin Shem bin Noah.
WHERE THEY LIVED
They were Arabs who lived between Hijaz and Tabuk. The Prophet ﷺ passed by this place when he went with Muslims to Tabuk. They lived after the people of Aad, and worshipped idols as Aad did.
WHO WAS SENT TO THEM?
Allah sent among them a man from among themselves as His Messenger. He was Saleh bin Ubaid bin Maseh bin Ubaid bin Hadir bin Thamud.
He called them to worship one God and not to associate any partner with Him, and to shun all their idols and their false majority rejected him. They tried to discredit him and slander him, and they even tried to kill him.
They killed the She-Camel which ALLĀH ﷻ sent to them as evidence of the truth of Saleh’s Mission. ALLĀH ﷻ punished them severely and destroyed them.
IN THE NOBLE QUR’AN
We notice in many places in the Qur’an that ALLĀH ﷻ very often mentions the story of Thamud after Aad, as in Surat At-Taubah, Abraham, Al-Furqan, Saad, Qaf, An-Najm and Al-Fajr.
MOSES HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THAMUD
It is also said that both of these nations are not known to the People of the Book, and there in no mention of them in their book, the Torah. However, when we read the Qur’an we find that Moses had knowledge of them and he informed about their consequences.
