About this audiobook
Thamud: The People of the Rock is the third book in the Nations and Peoples of the Quran series. It covers the people of Thamud — the successors of Aad and the third destroyed nation. The book traces the nation before the destruction, their skill as rock-cutters and builders of carved houses, Salih's preaching and call to tawhid, the she-camel sent as a clear sign, the nine conspirators who plotted to kill it, the most wretched one who struck it down, the three-day countdown, the thunderbolt and earthquake that destroyed the nation, the carved ruins that remain, Thamud as the third paradigm of destruction, and lessons on signs, the rock, conspiracy, the most wretched, silence, and the deadline of mercy.
