Since I dont have my own blog currently, I will post it here, in case it helps anyone. And perhaps, over the generations, these people developed their own magnificent society with its own special hallmarks and characteristics. Did the Prophet try to execute a man without proof? you who live in the clefts of the rocks, A little later, Pliny, the Elder (d. 79 AD), a Roman historian, while writing hisNatural History,mentions theThamudaei5 a people dominant in Hegra, adjoining the Nabataeans. Suhih Bukhari_ Book of _ Virues of Al-Quran : THE FIRST PILLAR OF ISLAM: THE MUSLIM PROFESSION O _ ( Istighfar & Tawbah Authentic Dua & Dhikr: What Is the Status of Women in Islam?

The video (arabic): https://youtu.be/0XIPP6vsDmA. The Quran mentions Aad as successor to the people of Noah (Q 7:69), and Thamud, as successor to Aad in turn (Q 7:74). Re. This is the she-camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming violent windstorm which Allah imposed on them for seven days and eight nights straight. [7][8] In a somewhat muddled passage, Pliny the Elder, a Roman historian of the first century CE, appears to locate the Thamd at the unidentified inland town of "Baclanaza". See the video here (arabic): https://youtu.be/yjRjkjQ-VEA, Me however I lean towards that Madain Saleh is not the place for the Quranic Thamud like Dr Thiaeb (linguist of ancient arabic and archeologist) has been repeatedly saying at least since 1995, because among other reasons that Madain Saleh lacks all the marks of Gods wrath, the earth quake levelling Thamud etc. Now are they fully destroyed now over the 1400 years or are mixed with the newer nabataens, True but many people say when it says travel the land it is normally speaking about ad and thamud because they are the closest cant atharan mean just marks not marks left behind like 30:50 when it says effects it doesnt mean left behind effects because allah would mean left behind so what can atharan thanks for replying back all the time, Because even if these verses are saying thamud and AD it is saying there better than there houses but how can they if they were in advance state of decay because we cant see ad houses left so they had to be in advance stat of decay so if they were how could they be better then there houses because these verse would be more talking about ad more than thamud any hence in the verse they were mightier because ad called them selfs mightier, Arabic language has been heavily borrowed from by the Urdu language spoken widely in Pakistan and India. They did worship Allah, which Ill prove soon. Like some of the tombs have window openings and some of the niches are not much more wide than a hand, which hardly can serve as a resting place for a human body. I guess it can be said that the Nabataeans can be considered one of the nations succeeding the people of Thamud. Some sources say the time period of the Thamud, as mentioned in the Quran, was about four generations after the Aad. What is uncovered thus far reveal that the structures are not dwellings, but tombs. God then destroyed the tribe, except for Salih and a few other righteous men.

A similar narrative can be found in Jeremiah 49:16 Nothing but solid rock underlies the rest of the facades. Hence I clearly mentioned in my original comment that this seems to be the weakest of all interpretations. I dont know and this is a good aspect of the Quran; it does not go into such things and instead instructs us to focus on the message and not the nitty gritty. Also, the Prophet () did in fact mention the dwellings in a separate hadith. God sent down a milch camel as his sign, and Salih told his countrymen that they should not harm the camel and allow it to drink from their well. Aad and Thamud are two of several communities described in the Quran as recipients of Gods chosen prophets and being utterly destroyed for rejecting them. And remember when He made you successors after the Aad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. The Thamd were known from contemporary sources to have occupied parts of the Hejaz region, and later Islamic tradition holds that they settled on the slopes of Mount Athlab. They trace their lineage to Abbas, uncle of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Having similar names doesnt mean much [20] The Arabs of the caliphate accommodated many new tribes in isolated areas to avoid conflict with the locals; caliph Uthman ordered his governor, Muawiyah I, to settle the new tribes away from the original population. http://www.imgrum.org/media/1483126817820752683_724804649 In light of these points, in my opinion the only reasonable conclusion is one of the following: 1) That the dwellings of Thamud were destroyed some time between The Expedition of Tabuk and today. The exact time of their existence is nearly impossible to determine. This came to pass, and Thamud was annihilated. The Quran and Sunnah do not identify any specific existing ruins as belonging to the first ancient tribe of Thamud, although some Muslim historians and popular folklore have done so. [2] The Thamud are not specially connected to the Thamudic scripts, an aggregate term for understudied writing systems of Ancient Arabia. However this would not explain why the Prophet () referred to the houses as Thamuds dwellings. A report in the hadith collection of Bukhari makes this connection between Thamud and al-Hijr quite explicit. Can someone please answer 89:9 because Im really stuck on this verse. God destroyed them. The ruins were identified by the Prophet (s) as belonging to those who wronged themselves, without ascribing them to the very first tribe of Thamud. What we do know is that the Nabateans lived a nomadic life style. These people were very wealthy and wielded great power. These people incurred the wrath of God and were destroyed. They are aws and athiri in origin with element of arphaxad In sum, missionaries and polemicists contrive an accusation against the Quran by obscuring, deliberately or not, the meaning of Thamud in the Quran and its relationship to the complex array of archaeological sites in Arabia. Pickthall And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud! It is not specific to the 2 Arab tribes. "Thamud are an ancient Arabia, tribe or group of tribes that seem to have been prominent from about the 4th century BC to the first half of the 7th century AD. Archeologists have put these ruins from the first century BCE and the first century CE. Furthermore, there is also proof that they had some elements of true Islam in their faith. Or there fallen down relics are still better than you houses now 3. or there fallen down relics show they are/were better than you 4. 12. Allah sent a powerful windstorm to the Aad that destroyed them and left them sprawled and mangled in their homes. Success comes from Allah, and Allah knows best. No, not at all. Al-ijr is now a vast plain, interspersed with hills into which what looks from the outside like houses or tombs have been carved. But before we get to that, lets analyze their responses. Are you telling us to change our religion from our fathers relgion? In Islamic prophetic history, the Prophet Salih (s) was sent to the first tribe of Thamud before the coming of Moses (s), since one of the believers warned Pharaoh about what happened to them. I hope they remove whatever articles they have written on this topic, as its beyond question that the Quran did not make an error on this topic, given that the Bible makes similar claims, and given that we know almost nothing about the Nabateans, and that the majority of the structures85 percent in Petra, and a major portion in Median Salehare still hidden under ground. We have no concrete evidence that Nabateans were destroyed. The following are four verses from Obadiah: 1 The vision of Obadiah. 7. Instead, the camel is killed by a certain "accursed Amar", and the camel's foal stands upon a rock and curses Thamud, leading to the tribe's annihilation except for a single lame woman who is spared to spread the message of the destruction.

Other later Arab migrations in Iran include the mostly cross Gulf migrations of Arabs into Hormozgan and Fars provinces from modern day eastern Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States, post 16th century. The fact that these structures are still around today, after nearly 4000 years is a testament to their quality and design. And perhaps, just like the Aad before them, they forgot the faith of Tawheed practiced by their ancestors and slipped into worhsiping idols. Asking the deceased for supplications or intercession? The Quran tells us that the people of Ad started to build altars on the high places, and even strongholds in the mountains. Edomites, Lihyanites and Nabateans inherited this skill? Rise, let us go against her for battle Possible answer: Their messenger lived before or even during the time of Isa (as), this also the time where this site flourished, but when they denied him, Allah did not destroy them immidiantely. Further confirmation of their service under the Romans, comes via a late 4th (or early 5th century) military document Notitia Dignitatum, which clealy mentions two cavalry units of Thamud, one serving in Egypt and the other in Palestine.

Compounding the confusion is the fact that the tribal name Thamud is applied today to a broad section of different peoples throughout history, not only to those mentioned in the Quran. Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Aad; of Iram of the lofty pillars? (Quran 89:6-7). Finally, we should understand that Allah has no problem replacing one people with another. But we can conclude from the verses of the Quran that they lived sometime after the flood of Noah and before the time of Ibrahim (AS). We do not take it as a science book and neither should we take it as a book of archaeology. If the Bible tells us nothing more, at least it illustrates that carving out structures on mountains predated the Nabateans, and that is all we need to refute the Christian allegation against the Quran. A temple they constructed at Rawwafa, 200 miles north of Medina, mentions the following in a Greek-Nabataean bilingual inscription: For the wellbeing of the rulers of the whole world .

The glorious Qur'an considered the people of 'Ad after Nuh (a); when it says, "and that it is He who destroyed the former 'Ad", "The former 'Ad" were the people of Prophet Hud (a) who lived after the people of Nuh (a) and before the people of Thamud. According to the Quran and the Islamic exegetical tradition, the Thamud were an early Arab tribe who rejected the message of the prophet Salih. If we remember that Ismails mother (Hajjar) was an Egyptian, or Coptic, slave, and his father Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was Babylonian, then its obvious that he couldnt also be Arab. Allah doesnt need you. Also there were no prophets between Isa AS and Muhammad SAW which is another issue to clarify. The Thamud demanded and received a sign from Allah. It is possible that Edomites and or Thamud did carve out structures in the region, Nabateans, who came later, were inspired at some point during their history by the structures and proceeded to make a few of their own.
