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. Then said the chiefs of his nation who were disbelievers and who denied facing the Hereafter and whom We made affluent in the worldly life, “This (man) is nothing but a human being. He eats from what you eat from, and drinks from what you drink. 34. If you obey a human like yourselves, then you will be absolute losers. 35. Does he promise you that, when you die and are turned into dust and bones, you are to be brought forth? 36. Far too improbable is what you are being promised. 37. There is nothing but our worldly life. We die and we live, and we are not to be raised again. 38. He is nothing but a man who has forged a lie against Allah, and we are not going to believe in him.” 39. He said, “My Lord, help me, for they have rejected me.” 40. He (Allah) said, “In a little while they will have to be remorseful.” 41. So the Cry seized them according to the true (promise), and We turned them in to scum. So, away with the wrongdoing people. 42. Then, after them, We created another generation. 43. No community can go ahead of its appointed time, nor can they become late. 44. Thereafter, We sent Our messengers successively. Whenever its messenger came to a community, they rejected him. Then We made some of them follow others (in destruction) and turned them into tales (of history). So, away with a people who do not believe.
