THE PEOPLE OF THAMUD

 
 

....The destruction of the People of Thamud
....Allah Almighty says:
...."And the (awful) Cry overtook those who did wrong, so that morning found them prostrate in their dwellings." (Hud, 67)
....All of a sudden, the divine torture began. There was one terrific cry, the cry of Gabriel, which had hardly ended when the disbelievers of Salih's people were struck dead, one and all, all at the same time.
....And then,
...."But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw." (Dhariyat, 44)
....The disbelievers were struck dead by the terrific cry of Gabriel; thunderbolts filled the air, followed by severe earthquakes that destroyed the entire tribe and its homeland.
....Allah Almighty says:
...."Then the earthquake overtook them, so they became motionless bodies in their abode." (Araf, 78)
