Salih and Thamud

Allah tells us about Thamud and how they responded to their Prophet Salih, when Allah sent him to call them to worship Allah alone, with no partner or associate.

Chapter 27, Page 381, Juz 19

45. And We sent to Thamūd their brother SāliH saying (to them), “Worship Allah”. Then suddenly they became two groups quarrelling with each other. 46. He said, “My people, why do you seek evil to come sooner before good? Why do you not seek forgiveness from Allah, so that you are treated with mercy?” 47. They said, “We regard you and those with you as a sign of bad omen.” He said, “Your omen is with Allah, but you are a people put to a test.” 48. And there were nine persons in the city who used to make mischief on the earth and did not put things right. 49. They said, “Let us swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall attack him (SāliH) and his family at night, then will say to his heir, ‘We did not witness the destruction of his family, and we are really truthful.’” 50. Thus they devised a plan, and We devised a plan, while they were not aware. 51. So, look how was the fate of their plan, that We annihilated them and their people altogether. 52. Now those are their houses, lying empty because of their transgression. Surely, in this there are signs for a people who have knowledge. 53. And We saved those who believed and who used to be God-fearing.
