Stories of the Prophets... Stories of the Prophets... Peace be upon them
God's prayers are followed by peace
For the good of all creatures
Olu Azmin has a high reputation
And the light of guidance... the story of Saleh, peace be upon him
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad
And upon all his family and companions
And yet... in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula
Between the Hijaz region and Tabuk
It was inhabited by the Thamud tribe
In an area called Al-Hijr
Far from the Prophet's city
Approximately 400 km
It is an Arab tribe
Its people were arrogant and evil people
They were also luxurious
That is, skilled carvers on mountains
God gave them strength in their bodies
They began carving houses out of the mountains
And they build palaces in the plains
Despite this, God has expanded their livelihood
They had orchards, crops, and palm trees
And God has established them on earth
They lived for a long time
And they live in the land for a long time
But with all this bliss they were in
They did not thank God Almighty
Rather, they committed polytheism and worshiped idols
And they were lenient in evil deeds
And they committed crimes
He was one of the people of Thamud and one of their nobles
A man named Saleh
He has a noble and high lineage among them
He was of sound mind and wisdom
They return to him in their disputes
They consult him about their life matters
Saleh was not satisfied with the polytheism his people were doing
And disbelief in the blessings of God Almighty
So he isolated himself from them with his sheep to graze
He eats its meat and drinks its milk
So God Almighty chose him as a prophet
And he sent him to his people as a messenger
To warn them and warn them
And brings them back to the right path
Saleh, peace be upon him, complied with the command of God Almighty
He began to call his people to monotheism
And he said to them
O people of Abdullah, you have no god other than Him
As is the call of all the prophets before and after him
So I called them one
They did not compete with their people for positions
They did not ask them for anything of their money
Rather, they were calling them to worship God alone, without partners
But how did Thamud respond to the call of their Prophet Saleh, peace be upon him?
They lied to him, mocked him, and rejected his invitation
And they told him
O Saleh, we saw in you a mind
We promised you that you would be one of our supervisors
How come you now forbid us from worshiping what our fathers worshipped?
Do you want us to believe you?
We are in doubt about your words and in doubt about your affairs
But you, Saleh, are enchanted
Saleh, peace be upon him, did not pay attention to what they said
Rather, he continued to invite them and warn them
And intimidate them from the punishment of God Almighty
And remind them of the blessings that God Almighty has bestowed upon them
And warning them of the fate of the perishing nations before them
Like the people of Aad
But they lost their minds
They continued their tyranny and stubbornness
And they said sarcastically
Didn’t God find someone else to send to us?
And if we follow you, we are worse than madmen
God Almighty said
And to Thamud, their brother Salih
He said: O people of Abdullah
You have no god other than Him
He created you from the earth
And he colonized you therein, so seek his forgiveness
Then repent to Him
Indeed, my Lord is near and responds
They said, “O Saleh, you were among us as a hope before this.”
Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshiped?
We are in doubt
There is no doubt about what you are calling us to
And God Almighty said
Thamud denied the messengers
When their brother Saleh said to them, “Don’t you fear?”
I am a faithful messenger to you
So fear God and obey
And I do not ask you for any reward for it. My reward is only from the Lord of the worlds
Will you leave it here, Amen?
In gardens and eyes
And crops and palm trees with digestive crops
And you descend from the mountains into luxurious homes
So fear God and obey
And God Almighty said
Thamud lied about the vow
They said: Is there any good news from us? We will follow him
Indeed, we are in error and misguidance
The remembrance was thrown at him from among us
Rather, he is an evil liar
Tomorrow they will know who the evil liar is
Then the people of Thamud resorted to the method of challenge
And they asked Saleh, peace be upon him
To bring them a sign as evidence of his sincerity and confirmation of his command
So they asked him to bring out a she-camel for them from the great rock near their well
They promised him that he would do what they asked
They will believe in him and believe him
So Saleh, peace be upon him, called upon his Lord
He asked him to give them what they asked for
This was out of his desire to convert them to Islam
So God answered him
He gave them what they asked for
But under specific conditions
The rock split
And people saw the camel
It emerges from that solid rock
A sign of the Prophet of God Saleh, peace be upon him
And an argument against them
And their Prophet Saleh, peace be upon him, said to them
God has brought this camel to you as you requested
He made her drink water from the well every day
And you have a day to drink
Do not miss the day you drink it
And the offspring of this camel will eat on God’s earth
And do not touch her badly
These are the commands of the Lord of the Worlds
Do not disobey it, lest the painful punishment befall you
And with the power of this verse and their vision of it
He did not believe in the Prophet of God Saleh, peace be upon him
Except for a few of his people who were weak
Most of them remained in their disbelief and stubbornness
For days, the people of Thamud looked at God’s she-camel
She walks among them
And drink from their water
And they don't come close to it
Satan defeated them
They started plotting
They plot among themselves to kill the she-camel unjustly and in disbelief
It came in the news
That a prostituted woman came to one of their men
It is called Masra’ bin Maharaj
So she offered herself to him
And she was a beautiful woman
She said to him
I will marry you and my dowry is to kill Saleh’s camel
Another old woman came to a man called Qaddar bin Salif
And she said to him
I have four daughters
I will marry you to whomever you want
If you kill Saleh's camel
These two men met
The son of Muharrij and Qaddar
They called on their companions to kill the camel
Seven others responded to them
They became nine Rahat in the city
They spoil it and do not improve it
These are the leaders of strife
Although everyone was satisfied with killing the camel
It was narrated that a barren she-camel said to his people:
I will not kill her until you are all satisfied with it
So they started going and asking people
They even entered the woman's bedroom
They say: Would you be willing to kill the camel?
She says yes
Until they asked the boys
Do you want the camel to be hamstrung?
They say yes
Then Qaddar bin Salif dared
His companion, Ibn Maharaj, and those with them
And they watched for the camel when she was drinking
The son of a clown shot her with an arrow
The arrow fell into her leg
So the women went out and shouted throughout the tribe
We have revealed their faces
We were saddened by their feelings
And we started shouting at the men
Kill the camel, kill the camel
So Qadar bin Salif rose up against it
So he hit her with a sword
He stabbed her in the nub
She was proud of her death
He was Qadar bin Salif
He is the most miserable of Thamud
Who bore the greatest burden in killing the camel
Then the people of Thamud said to their Prophet that they were united
O Saleh, bring us what you promise us of torment
If you are truly one of the sincere messengers
Saleh, peace be upon him, said to them
O my people, why do you hasten to punish the bad deeds before the good deeds?
Have you asked God for forgiveness?
May He have mercy on you
But this method did not work for them
So God prevented them from raining from the sky
To frighten them and warn them
They said the rain did not prevent us
Except because of Saleh and those with him
He has angered our gods
They are a source of misfortune for us
We flew them
Then those people swore
The infidel imams wanted to kill Saleh, peace be upon him
After they killed the camel
Their plan was to make him stay overnight and kill him
Then, in the morning, people say to Saleh’s family and his clan
We didn't know about his death until now
And we are truthful
God Almighty said
We sent their brother Salih to Thamud
To worship God
If they are two groups, they quarrel
He said: O people, why are you in a hurry?
Bad before good
If you had not asked God for forgiveness
Perhaps you will have mercy
They said: We will fly with you and those with you
Your bird is with God, he said
Rather, you are a people who are being tempted
There were nine people in the city who were making mischief on earth and not doing good
They said, "Share, for God's sake, that we may spend the night with his family."
Then we will say to his guardian
We have not witnessed the destruction of his family
And we are truthful
So God Almighty revealed to Saleh, peace be upon him
To promise them that torment will come after three days
God commanded him to come out from among them and from among the believers who followed him
So Saleh, peace be upon him, told them what God had commanded
He left with those who believed with him
So God saved them from the painful torment
As for the people of Thamud
On the first day, their faces turned yellow
Every one of them sees the yellowness in my brother's face
Doubt began to circulate in their souls
Is this the beginning of the torment that Saleh threatened us with?
On the second day, their faces became red like blood
Then they became certain of torment
On the third day, their faces became black
So they started digging their graves with their own hands, waiting for death
On that day, the trembling took them from under their feet
A shout rose from above them
Until I destroyed them all
The humiliating torture took them
They became like wildfire
That is, like a worn-out plant that became crumbled and scattered in a sheepfold
His Holiness at her feet
Saleh, peace be upon him, passed by his people while they were dead
So he started addressing them and saying
I have conveyed to you the message of my Lord and given you advice
But you are a people who do not like advisers
God Almighty said
O my people, this she-camel of God is a sign for you
So leave it and eat it on God’s earth
And do not touch her badly
Then a near torment will seize you
So they gnawed her, and he said
Enjoy your home for three days
That is an untrue promise
When our order came
Our command We delivered righteously
And those who believed with him
By our mercy
Who will be disgraced on that day?
Your Lord is the Powerful, the Mighty
And those who wronged took the cry
They became crouched in their homes
As if they didn't sing it
Indeed, Thamud increased their Lord
Except after Thamud
Dear brothers
God Almighty has mentioned good things
Peace be upon him in the Holy Quran
Nine times
He mentioned his tribe, Thamud
Twenty times
We have the story of Saleh, peace be upon him
He taught his people many lessons and lessons
One of the most important ones
First, always the consequence
It is for the prophets of God Almighty, peace be upon them
After tyranny reaches its end
Salvation will be for the faithful servants of God
And destruction for his unbelieving enemies
God Almighty grants respite and does not neglect
Secondly
The verses, no matter how clear they are
The criminals do not believe in it and are not guided
As is the case with the people of Thamud
They saw the camel standing in front of them as they had requested
However, they did not believe
Third
He left the truth due to the lack of his people and the lack of supporters
Or follow Al-Baqil due to the large number of his family
It is a disease that has been affecting people since ancient times
So the people of Thamud said
Give us good tidings for one of us to follow
We are, then, in misguidance and misguidance
Fourth
A satisfied ruling is like the one who does it in the rulings of the afterlife
With God Almighty
God mentioned it in his book
The one who slaughtered the camel is one of them
While the rest were satisfied with that
Therefore, he added the verb in some verses to all of them
And he said
So they sterilized it
So God afflicted them all with torment
Only those who did not agree to this were spared
They are the believers
As for what concerns the provisions of the world
It only applies to those who demonstrate their actions and words
Fifth
A Muslim should take the sermon and learn the lesson
If he passes by the homes of the tortured
Like the people of Thamud in the Al-Hijr area
On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both
That the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He passed through the villages of Thamud
So the people drew water from the wells
And they kneaded their dough
So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, commanded them
So they spilled the pots
They fed dough for camels
And he, may God bless him and grant him peace, forbade them
To enter upon the people who were tortured
And he said
I fear that what happened to them will happen to you
Do not enter upon them
Then she disguises herself with his robe while he is on the road
And he said
Do not enter upon these torturers
Unless you are crying
If you are not weeping, do not enter upon them
We now see some ignorant people going to those places and taking pictures there
He rejoices and laughs
This is contrary to what the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, guided us to
The rest of the talk, God willing
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad
On all his family and companions
You were with the stories of the prophets
