PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 2 (Chapter – 5)

MOSES HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THAMUD-2

ALLĀH ﷻ Surat Ibrahim: “And Moses said: ‘If you and all those on earth with you, are ungrateful, surely ALLĀH ﷻ is All-Sufficient, Worthy of all praise.’ Has not the stories reached you of those who were before you, the people of Noah, Aad, Thanmud, and of those after them whom none knows except ALLĀH ﷻ? To them came Messengers with clear signs…” (14:8-9)

The context is clear that Moses spoke to his people and cited to them the stories of Aad and Thamud. However, as these two peoples were from Arab origin, their stories are not accurately recorded by the people of the Book, neither did they pay any attention towards preserving such stories. InDeeD they were known in the times of Moses.

THE STORY OF THAMUD

Now we will mention their story and what consequences they bore when they rejected the truth. How ALLĀH ﷻ rescued Saleh and those who believed with him and how He destroyed those who belied Saleh and refused to follow the Divine Truth.

We have already said that Thamud were people of Arab origin, who came after Aad and they did not take any lesson from their predecessor’s story. Their Prophet Saleh told them: “Worship ALLĀH ﷻ, you have no God other than Him. There has now come to you a clear sign from your Lord, this is Allah’s she-camel, a sign for you. So leave her alone to graze on Allah’s earth, and do not harm her, least a painful chastisement should seize you. And remember when He made you successors after Aad and established you in the land and enabled you to make castles on its plains and to hew out houses from its mountains. So remember Allah’s bounties and do not work mischief in the earth.” 

(7:73-74) 

Saleh said them: ALLĀH ﷻ made you successor after Aad so that you may not follow their path and act righteously. He has facilitated for you to build palaces and castles on the plains of this earth.
