The Cause of the Destruction of the People of Thamud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the people of 'Aad, was the cause of their destruction the killing of the she-camel, or is it measured by the report? In that case, would the destruction of those who intended to kill the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) be a specific destruction before the general destruction of the people of 'Aad?
Answer:
Allah destroyed them for both reasons: their plotting against Salih and their killing of the she-camel, which they had been forbidden to harm. Allah destroyed them for all these evil deeds: shirk (associating partners with Allah), the worship of idols, and all these abominations.
