The Story of Sāliḥ
(ʿalayhi s-salām)

Today you will learn about the life of
one of the best people that ever
lived. This was a man sent by Allāh.
You will learn why they were sent
and what lessons we can learn from
their lives. They were known as the
Prophets of Allāh.

The Family
of Thamūd

Another family from the children of
Nūḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) were the family
of Thamūd. They came came after the
family of ʿĀd.
They also worshipped statues like the
family of ʿĀd did.
Allāh made them very strong. They
could build houses in mountains with
their own hands!
Allāh gave them a lot of things. But
instead of being grateful and listening
to Allāh, they were ungrateful.
3
Sending a Prophet
Allāh wanted to remind them of what
was right. He sent to them a Prophet.
He was a man from them. His name
was Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām).
He called them to worship only Allāh
alone. He begged them to stop
worshipping statues.
Only some people from the family of
Thamūd listened. The bad people told
Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) that if he did
not stop, they would kill him.
Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) did not give up.
He tried his best to make them good
and listen to Allāh. He reminded them
of everything Allāh had given them.
He told them not to be ungrateful.

4
They called Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) a liar and a
fool. They told him to prove that he was a real
Prophet.
They said that they will only believe him if he
took a She-Camel out of a mountain! Sāliḥ
(ʿalayhi s-salām) asked Allāh to help him.
We should always ask Allāh to help us. It is only
Allāh who can do everything. Even if something
might be really easy, if Allāh wants he can make
it really hard. And if something is really hard or
even impossible, then Allāh can make it easy
and possible. We should always remember that
Allāh has the power to do everything.

The She-Camel

So Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) asked to
Allāh for help. Allāh helped him
and a She-Camel came out of the
mountain. He told the people that
the She-Camel was very special
because it was a sign from Allāh.
He told them to treat the She-
Camel in a good way and not to
hurt it. They still did not believe
Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) and carried
on being bad.
6
The Evil Plan
They chose a person and made a plan to kill the
She-Camel. When they killed the She-Camel,
Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) was very upset. He told
them that in three days, the punishment of Allāh
was going to come. Instead of becoming good
and asking Allāh to forgive them, they made
another evil plan.
Nine people got together and went to the house
of Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām).

7
The
Punishment

Before they were able to kill Sāliḥ
(ʿalayhi s-salām), the punishment had
come. When the fourth day came,
they all waited to see if anything
would happen. All of a sudden, there
was a really loud noise. The whole
earth started to shake and rumble. All
the bad people had been killed. Only
Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām) and the good
people were saved.

Lessons from the Story
of Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām)

 We must remember some very
important lessons from the story
of Sāliḥ (ʿalayhi s-salām):
 We should always remember that
everything we have is from Allāh
and we should never think we are
the most powerful.
 We should respect the signs of
Allah and respect them. The She-
Camel was a sign of Allāh for the
people of Thamūd.
