PROPHET SALIH (PEOPLE OF THAMUD)
7:73 And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother Ṣâliḥ. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has
come to you from your Lord: this is Allah’s she-camel as a sign to you. So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s land and do not harm her, or else you will be overcome by a painful punishment.
7:74 Remember when He (God) made you successors after ’Âd and established you in the land—˹and˺ you built palaces on its plains and carved homes into mountains. So remember Allah’s favors, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.”
7:75 The arrogant chiefs of his people asked the lowly (weak) who believed among them, “Are you certain that Ṣâliḥ has been sent by his Lord?” They replied,
“We certainly believe in what he has been sent with.”
7:76 Those who were arrogant said: "Verily, we disbelieve in that which you believe in."
7:77 Then they killed the she-camel—defying their Lord’s command—and challenged ˹Ṣâliḥ˺, “Bring us what you threaten us with, if you are ˹truly˺ one of the messengers.”
7:78 Then an ˹overwhelming˺ earthquake struck them, and they fell lifeless in their homes.
7:79 So he turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Surely I conveyed to you my Lord’s message and gave you ˹sincere˺ advice, but you do not like ˹sincere˺ advisors.”
PROPHET HUD (PEOPLE OF AD)
11:50 And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You do nothing but fabricate lies ˹against Allah˺.
11:51O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the One Who created me. Will you not then understand?
11:52 And O my people! Seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will shower you with rain in abundance, and add strength to your strength. Do not sinfully turn away from Him.
11:53They argued, “O Hûd! You have not given us any clear proof, and we will never abandon our gods upon your word, nor will we believe in you.
11:54 All we can say is that some of our gods have possessed you with evil.” He said, “I call Allah to witness, and you too bear witness, that I ˹totally˺ reject whatever you associate
11:55 Other than Him. So plot against me all together; without delay!
11:56 I have put my trust in Allah—my Lord and your Lord. There is no living creature that is not completely under His control.Surely my Lord is on a straight path.
11:57 "So if you turn away, then verily, I have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will replace you with others, and you will not harm Him at all. Surely, my Lord is Guardian over all things."
11:58 And when Our Commandment came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us, and We saved them from a severe torment.
11:59 And that was 'Ad (people). They rejected the Ayat of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers, and followed the command of every proud obstinate (oppressor of the truth).
11:60 And they were followed by a curse in this world and (so they will be) on the Day of Resurrection. No doubt! Verily, 'Ad disbelieved in their Lord. So away with 'Ad, the people of Hud.
PROPHET SALIH (PEOPLE OF THAMUD)
11:61 And to Thamud (people, We sent) their brother Salih (Saleh). He said: "O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other Ilah (God) but Him. He brought you forth from the earth and settled you in it, then ask forgiveness of Him and turn to Him in repentance. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."
11:62 They said, "Salih, we had great hope in you before this. Do you forbid us to worship that which our fathers had worshiped? We are doubtful and uncertain about what you have told us to worship."
11:63 He said: "O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my Lord, and there has come to me a Mercy (Prophethood, etc.) from Him, who then can help me against Allah, if I were to disobey Him? Then you increase me not but in loss.
11:64 And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a sign for you.1 So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s earth and do her no harm, or a swift punishment will overtake you!”
11:65 But they killed her. So he said: "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. This is a promise (i.e. a threat) that will not be belied."
11:66 When Our command came, We saved Ṣâliḥ and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us and spared them the disgrace of that Day. Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ is the All-Powerful, Almighty.
11:67 And the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook the wrongdoers, so they fell lifeless in their homes,
11:68 As if they had never lived there. No doubt! Verily, Thamud disbelieved in their Lord. So away with Thamud!
PROPHET SALIH
26:141 The people of Thamûd rejected the messengers
26:142 When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah ?
26:143"I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
26:144 So fear Allah and obey me.
26:145 And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
26:146"Do you think that you will remain here peacefully forever
26:147 "In gardens and springs.
26:148 And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?
26:149 "And you carve houses out of mountains with great skill.
26:150 So fear Allah and obey me.
26:151 And do not follow the command of the transgressors,
26:152 who spread corruption throughout the land, never setting things right.”
26:153 They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.
26:154"You are but a human being like us. Then bring us a sign if you are of the truthful."
26:155 Ṣâliḥ said, “Here is a camel. She will have her turn to drink as you have yours, each on an appointed day.
26:156 And do not ever touch her with harm, or you will be overtaken by the torment of a tremendous day.”
26:157 But they killed her, and then they became regretful.
26:158 So the torment overtook them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
26:159 And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
29:38 And 'Ad and Thamud (people)! And indeed (their destruction) is clearly apparent to you from their (ruined) dwellings. Shaitan (Satan) made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and turned them away from the (Right) Path, though they were intelligent.
29:39 We˺ also ˹destroyed˺ Korah (Qaarun), Pharaoh, and Hamân. Indeed, Moses had come to them with clear proofs, but they behaved arrogantly in the land. Yet they could not escape ˹Us˺.
29:40 So We Punished each ˹people˺ for their sin: against some of them We sent a storm of stones, some were overtaken by a ˹mighty˺ blast, some We caused the earth to swallow, and some We drowned. Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
29:41 The likeness of those who take Auliya' other than Allah is as the likeness of a spider, who builds (for itself) a house, but verily, the frailest (weakest) of houses is the spider's house; if they but knew.
29:42 Allah surely knows that whatever ˹gods˺ they invoke besides Him are ˹simply˺ nothing. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
29:43 And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
41:13 If they turn away, then say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I warn you of a ˹mighty˺ blast, like the one that befell ’Ȃd and Thamûd.”
41:14 When the Messengers came to them, from before them and behind them (saying): "Worship none but Allah" They said: "If our Lord had so willed, He would surely have sent down the angels. So indeed! We disbelieve in that with which you have been sent."
41:15 As for 'Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allah who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs.
41:16 So We sent against them a furious wind, for ˹several˺ miserable days, to make them taste a humiliating punishment in this worldly life. But far more humiliating will be the punishment of the Hereafter. And they will not be helped.
41:17 As for Thamûd, We showed them guidance, but they preferred blindness over guidance. So the blast of a disgracing punishment overtook them for what they used to commit.
41:18 And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allah.
