Prophet Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) prayed earnestly to Allah (سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ), seeking to guide his people through the miracle they demanded. By Allah’s power, the enormous rock split apart, and from within it emerged a majestic she-camel, exactly as they had described. The camel was a divine sign-immense, ten months pregnant, and capable of producing milk sufficient for the entire tribe. This astonishing event left the people of Thamud in awe. Allah (سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ) had not only granted their impossible demand but also provided them with a test. Prophet Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) declared to them that the camel was a sign of Allah and warned them to treat it with care and respect: “And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allah - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allah’s earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment.” (Surah Hud, Ayah 64) THE TEST OF THE SHE-CAMEL The she-camel was no ordinary animal; it was a miraculous sign and a test for the people of Thamud. Prophet Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) instructed them to allow the camel to graze freely on the land and drink from the water. The camel had its designated day to drink water, during which the people and their livestock were to refrain from drinking. On alternate days, the Thamud could access the water. This arrangement was simple and fair, yet it revealed the true nature of the people’s hearts. Initially, some of the Thamud honored the agreement, amazed and fearful of the miracle. However, the leaders of the tribe, consumed by their arrogance and disbelief, grew increasingly resentful. They viewed the camel as an inconvenience and a threat to their authority. Despite Prophet Saleh’s (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) warnings, their defiance deepened. THE SIN OF THE THAMUD As time passed, the leaders of Thamud plotted against the she-camel. They incited one another, convincing a few individuals to carry out their wicked plan. These conspirators ambushed the innocent animal and cruelly slaughtered her, defying Allah’s command. This heinous act marked their ultimate rejection of Allah’s sign. When Prophet Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) learned of their crime, he was devastated. He warned them that their punishment was imminent: “But they hamstrung her, so he said, ‘Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied.’” (Surah Hud, Ayah 65) THE DESTRUCTION OF THAMUD True to Prophet Saleh’s (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) warning, Allah’s punishment descended upon the Thamud after three days. A powerful earthquake, accompanied by a deafening sound (Sayhah), obliterated their civilization. The once-mighty tribe, who had arrogantly carved their homes into mountains, lay in ruin. Only their empty dwellings and monumental structures remained, serving as a somber reminder of their defiance. The Qur’an recounts their fate: “So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.” (Surah Al-A’raf, Ayah 78) Despite their destruction, Prophet Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) and his followers were saved by Allah’s mercy. Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) departed from the ruined land, heartbroken over his people’s disobedience and downfall. LESSONS FROM THE STORY OF PROPHET SALEH (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) The story of Prophet Saleh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) is a powerful reminder of the consequences of arrogance, disbelief, and ingratitude. It teaches us several lessons: 1. Faith Requires Humility: The Thamud’s pride and attachment to material success blinded them to the truth, leading to their downfall. 2. Allah’s Signs Are Tests: Miracles are not only blessings but also tests of faith. Those who fail to acknowledge them risk severe consequences. 3. The Danger of Following the Crowd: Many of the Thamud followed their leaders’ misguidance instead of recognizing the truth in Prophet Saleh’s (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) message. 4. The Temporary Nature of This World: The Thamud’s grand structures, carved into mountains, could not protect them from Allah’s punishment. True success lies in obedience to Allah and preparation for the Hereafter. May Allah (سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ) grant us the wisdom to learn from the stories of the past and guide us to the path of righteousness. #IslamicHistory #allah #quran #quranverses #quranic #quranrecitation #quranquotes #quranicverse #quranicverses #quranicwisdom #quraniclearning #quranteachings #quranteaching #quranlearning #quranicteachings #quranicteaching #prophet #prophetmuhammadﷺ #prophetmuhammad #hadithwisdom #hadith #hadees #hadithoftheday #hadiths #iblees #prophetstories #friday #fridayprayer #fridayprayers #jummah #jummahfriday #jummahprayer #jumma #prophetnuh #noah #hud #eber #saleh #thamud #ad
