| Said to be a descendant of Noah. The people of T̲h̲amúd were a tribe in Southern Arabia who were the successors to the culture and civilization of the people of 'Ad. Tradition says that they were a younger branch of the same tribe and lived in the same regions of the Arabian peninsula. They were idolators and skilful carvers of stone. The prophet Ṣáliḥ was sent to them by God to exhort them to believe in God and stop worshipping idols. When they ignored him, the people of T̲h̲amúd were wiped out by an earthquake.14 |
