The Story of `Ad or Thamud

Allah tells us that after the people of Nuh, He created another nation. It was said that this was `Ad, because they were the successors of the people of Nuh. Or it was said that they were Thamud, because Allah says:

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ

Read in Context

Chapter 23, Page 344, Juz 18

33. But the leading disbelievers among his people, who denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, to whom We had granted ease and plenty in this life, said, ‘He is just a mortal like you- he eats what you eat and drinks what you drink- 34. and you will really be losers if you obey a mortal like yourselves. 35. How can he promise you that after you die and become dust and bones you will be brought out alive? 36. What you are promised is very farfetched. 37. There is only the life of this world: we die, we live, but we will never be resurrected. 38. He is just a man making lies up about God. We will never believe in him.’ 39. The prophet said, ‘My Lord, help me! They call me a liar,’ 40. and so God said, ‘Soon they will be filled with regret.’ 41. The blast justly struck them and We swept them away like scum. Away with the evildoers! 42. We raised other generations after them- 43. no community can advance or delay its time- 44. and We sent Our messengers in succession: whenever a messenger came to a community they invariably called him a liar, so We destroyed them one after the other and made them into cautionary tales. Away with the disbelievers!

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
