THE NATION OF THAMUD:-
The nation of Thamud is mentioned 23 times in the holy Quran.
This nation is the most famous and oldest nation of Arabia after the death of
Aad. His lineage is traced back to Sam, the son of Prophet Noah (peace be upon
him). They had settlements in the Wadi Quri plain between Hejaz and Syria, the
ruins and traces of which still exist today. Their capital was in Hajar, north
of Madinah Tayyaba. Which is now called "Mudain Saleh". The era of this nation
dates back to before Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him), it was a civilized,
advanced, powerful and very rich nation of its time, and built huge buildings
by carving mountains and paying heavy labor to stone carvers to make huge
idols. Knitting was the favorite pastime of his life, so much devotion and love
for idols was created in his hearts that he started to consider worshiping them
as a means of salvation, leaving Allah Almighty. When polytheism and idolatry
became too much in this nation, Allah sent Saleh (A.S) as a messenger to guide
and correct them.
THE INVITATION OF HAZRAT SALEH (PEACE BE UPON HIM):-
Hazrat Saleh (peace be upon him) was born about a hundred
years after Hazrat HUD (peace be upon him) and is mentioned eight times in the
Quran. Allah sent him to guide and guide the people of Thamud. This nation was
very proud of its glory, honor, pride, polytheism and idolatry. Hazrat Saleh
(peace be upon him) advised them and said: O people! Worship only Allah, there
is none worthy of worship but him. After hearing this message of truth, they
started expressing their hatred and demanding the removal of a pregnant camel
from the mountain for the truth of the prophecy. Hazrat Saleh(peace be upon
him) prayed Allah Almighty created a camel from a hard rock as a miracle, but
even after receiving the miracle according to his desire, this unfortunate
nation did not obey and disobedience reached such a level that the camel was
killed. He killed him and did not stop there, but also planned to kill Hazrat Saleh
(peace be upon him). After three days, a loud cry and an earthquake destroyed
the entire nation. After this, Hazrat Saleh (as) migrated to Palestine with
believers.
