Prophet Sawleh and the Miracle of the She-Camel

The Story of Prophet Sawleh and the Miracle of the She-Camel

• Prophet Sawleh was known for his compassion, purity, and wisdom, and was respected by his followers and nominated as a prophet by Allah.
• He preached to the people to worship Allah alone, but only a few of the Thamud people accepted him, as they were taught to worship statues by their ancestors.
• The Thamud people challenged Sawleh to prove that he is a messenger of Allah by creating a she-camel out of a huge rock, and he fervently prayed to God to answer their request.
• God provided the Thamud people with the miracle of the she-camel to test them, and Sawleh warned them not to harm her or face punishment.
• Some of the Thamud people accepted to believe in God because of the miracle, while others began to hate the camel as it reminded them of Sawleh and the promise they made to him.
• The Thamud people choose to harm the camel and its calf, and Sawleh warned them to seek forgiveness from Allah or face punishment.
• The Thamud people denied and faced a colossal punishment from Allah in the form of a loud thunderstorm that killed everyone except the believers of Allah.
• The story teaches us not to put God to the test, but to believe in His messengers and be prompt to do what they say.
• It also teaches us not to disobey God and to listen to His Prophets and messengers.
• The story reminds us of our tendency to forget our promises to God when things are going good for us.
• The message of Sawleh is a salutary one for today's world, reminding us that God will not be mocked and is in charge of all things.
• The story highlights the importance of faith and obedience to God, and the consequences of disobedience and disbelief.
