Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) was a messenger of Allah sent to the people of Thamud, who lived in the Arabian Peninsula. Thamud was a wealthy and prosperous community, but they were known for their arrogance and disobedience towards Allah. They worshipped idols and denied the existence of Allah. Prophet Salih tried to convince them to believe in Allah and stop the worship of idols. He preached that they should follow the path of righteousness and lead a just life. Despite his sincere efforts, the people of Thamud refused to listen to him and mocked him. To prove his prophethood, Prophet Salih asked Allah for a miracle. Allah granted his request, and a she-camel was sent down for the people of Thamud. The she-camel was a unique creature with exceptional qualities, such as being able to provide milk for the entire community. Prophet Salih instructed the people of Thamud to treat the she-camel with kindness and respect. They were not allowed to harm or kill the animal. However, the people of Thamud were not satisfied with the miracle and they saw the she-camel as a burden on their resources. They plotted against the she-camel and killed it, despite Prophet Salih's warnings. As a result of their disobedience and cruelty, Allah destroyed the people of Thamud with a severe earthquake. The community was demolished, and only a few believers were saved. The story of Prophet Salih teaches us the importance of believing in Allah and following the path of righteousness. It also highlights the consequences of disobedience and arrogance towards Allah. The Prophet Salih's message is still relevant in today's society, and we should strive to follow it with sincerity and faith. The following Quranic verses mention the story of Prophet Salih peace be upon him. Sura Araf Ayah (Verse) 73-79 73 And to Thamood, their brother Saleh. He said, “O my people! Worship God; you have no god other than Him. Clarification has come to you from your Lord. This she-camel of God is a sign for you. So leave her to graze on God’s earth, and do her no harm, lest a painful penalty seizes you.” 74 “And remember how He made you successors after Aad, and settled you in the land. You make for yourselves mansions on its plains, and carve out dwellings in the mountains. So remember God’s benefits, and do not roam the earth corruptingly.” 75 The elite of his people, who were arrogant, said to the common people who had believed, “Do you know that Saleh is sent from his Lord?” They said, “We are believers in what he was sent with.” 76 Those who were arrogant said, “We reject what you believe in.” 77 So they hamstrung the she-camel, and defied the command of their Lord, and said, “O Saleh, bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you are one of the messengers.” 78 Whereupon the quake overtook them, and they became lifeless bodies in their homes. 79 Then he turned away from them, and said, “O my people, I have delivered to you the message of my Lord, and I have advised you, but you do not like those who give advice.” Sura Hud Ayah (Verse) 61-68 61 And to Thamood, their brother Saleh. He said, “O my people, worship God, you have no god other than Him. He initiated you from the earth, and settled you in it. So seek His forgiveness, and repent to Him. My Lord is Near and Responsive.” 62 They said, “O Saleh, we had hopes in you before this. Are you trying to prevent us from worshiping what our parents worship? We are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.” 63 He said, “O my people, have you considered? If I stand upon clear evidence from my Lord, and He has given me mercy from Him, who would protect me from God, if I disobeyed Him? You add nothing for me except loss.” 64 “O my people, this is the she-camel of God, a sign for you. Let her graze on God’s land, and do not harm her, lest an imminent punishment overtakes you.” 65 But they hamstrung her, and so He said, “Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. This is a prophecy that is infallible.” 66 Then, when Our command came, We saved Saleh and those who believed with him, by a mercy from Us, from the disgrace of that day. Your Lord is the Strong, the Mighty. 67 And the Scream struck those who transgressed, and they became motionless bodies in their homes. 68 As if they had never prospered therein. Indeed, Thamood rejected their Lord, so away with Thamood.
