Prophet Saleh

In the Name of God who is Most Beneficent and Most Merciful

Madain Saleh is now one of the little known tourist jewels of Saudi Arabia.

Story of Madain Saleh is in the name of Prophet Saleh

Prophet Saleh was a Semite born nine generations after Prophet Noah.

He is born and raised among the Thamud. A group of people who lived in an area between Palestine and the Hijaz. The Thamud are said to have lived in stone houses. And not followed God teaching. Prophet Saleh tried to convince his people not to disobey God, but they refused, and insult Prophet Saleh.

The narrative goes on to state that God responded by creating a female camel (the she-camel of God), which the Thamud were allowed to milk for sustenance, but were not allowed to harm. Despite the instruction, the Thamud slaughtered the camel, so God ordered Prophet Saleh to leave his people; when Prophet Salah had complied by leaving, there was a large thunderous that destroyed the Thamud.

UNESCO proclaimed Madain Saleh as a site of patrimony, becoming Saudi Arabia's first World Heritage Site.
