Commentary
Reason of describing the circumstances concerning some Prophets
(peace be upon them) in Holy Qur’an is that this truth should be obvious
upon the disbelievers that Allaah Almighty sent His Prophets and
Messengers (peace be upon them) from time to time for the guidance of the human
beings, and by means of them, it was informed to the mankind that the Creator
and the Lord of this world is Allaah Almighty only. You should remain
His obedient and refrain from obstinacy and stubbornness.
In this connection, it is commanded: We appointed Salih (peace be upon him) as Our Messenger and
sent him towards the tribe of Thamud, who
was a man from their own tribe, for guidance of the people. He (peace be
upon him) said to them: Worship Allah and
don’t become cause of spreading mischief in the world, being proud of your
power. Your power and prosperity are bestowed by Allaah Almighty, so you
should obey Him and do according to His commandment for determining your
character.
It was hoped from the people of Thamud as a mankind that
they would admit unanimously the sayings of Salih (peace be upon him) because he was a Prophet
of Allaah Almighty, and they will choose the way of dwelling like
mankind. But contrary to expectation, they became two parties quarreling. One of
them accepted and the other rejected.
Salih (peace
be upon him) frightened the opponents from the wrath of Allaah Almighty.
They said: Go and bring doom, we don’t believe! Prophet Salih (peace
be upon him) caused to understand them: You had to believe in Allaah
Almighty, repent of sins and pass a pious life after listening to me, but you
did not do so; and began to ask for the doom immediately. These are the manners
of destruction.
