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. And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink. 34. If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers. 35. Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth? 36. Begone, begone, with that which ye are promised! 37. There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and we shall not be raised (again). 38. He is only a man who hath invented a lie about Allah. We are not going to put faith in him. 39. He said: My Lord! Help me because they deny me. 40. He said: In a little while they surely will become repentant. 41. So the (Awful) Cry overtook them rightfully, and We made them like as wreckage (that a torrent hurleth). A far removal for wrongdoing folk! 42. Then after them We brought forth other generations. 43. No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it. 44. Then We sent our messengers one after another. Whenever its messenger came unto a nation they denied him; so We caused them to follow one another (to disaster) and We made them bywords. A far removal for folk who believe not!
