Da'wah Nabi Saleh (Salih / Salih)

Thamud resided in the area of ​​al-Hijr. Currently the area is called the Mada'in Salih: a mountainous region between the Medina and Sham (Syria). Allah says, "(Against) Thamud who cut large rocks in the valley," (QS. Al-Fajr [89]: 9).

They are experts in chiseling the stone mountain and make it as a place to stay. In addition, they are also good at cultivating the land is flat and turn it into a palace. Alla said, "Remember when He made you caliphs after 'Ad and put you on earth. In a flat place you build palaces and hills you chisel into houses, So remember the favors of Allah and you do not make mischief on the earth, "(QS. Al-Araf [7]: 74).

State they have the privilege to soil fertility, in addition to its geographical position on the path of trade between Syria and Yemen. It, making their livelihood melipah and prosper. However, Thamud reply to all the pleasures it by straying from the path of God. They finally diadzab like the HUD for kufr and their denial of the favor of God.

God then sent His messenger from among themselves, namely Salih. He warned them of the consequences of the bad deeds. However, they mocked, deniers, and require proof of undeniable as justification for his prophetic. Salih also bring a camel into the miraculous. He then asked them not to hurt her. It is recorded in the word of God, "Now hath come unto you a clear proof of the Rabb of you. It's (a) the she-camel of Allah as a sign for you. Let him eat on earth God, do not hurt, later as a result you will get a torment poignant, "(QS. Al-Araf [7]: 73)

The female camel lived some time in the township Thamud. He also ate plants and drinking water in one day and left it on other days. This is a matter that pushed some of them to believe in the miracle of Prophet Salih. Thamudic then worried due to all of that and the danger that threatens their power. Appeared sense hasut and envy them when nine of them conspired to kill camels. This story is mentioned in the word of God, "In the city there are nine men who spread corruption on earth, they do not do repairs. They said, 'Swear you by (name of) Allah that we will certainly attack him with his family at night , then we will say to his heir (that) we did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful. ' And they devised, and We also devised, and they are not aware of. So, consider the consequence of their deceit, that we destroy them and their families all. So that's their homes that collapsed because kezhaliman them. It , in this is really a sign (power of God) for people who know, "(QS. An-Naml [27]: 48-52).

Such a painful ordeal that befell Thamud. All of it was due to their kufr in Allah and slaughter the camel miracle Salih. God saved Salih and those who believe, from adzhab befell it. Wholeness in part where they live can be a lesson and a warning.

Ibn Kathir narrates in his Tarikh that the Messenger cowl and accelerate the vehicle when passing Thamudic settlements in al-Hijr (Mada'in Salih). In addition, he also forbade his companions to enter their settlement, except in cases of crying. In a history-mentioned "If you can not cry, compel them to cry out of fear stricken (torment) like that happen to them."

The story of Prophet Saleh (Salih / Salih)

Salih (Saleh) is one of the prophets and messengers in Islam that has been sent to the Thsamud. Prophet Salih had been given a miracle that a female camel issued from a rock crevice with God's permission to show the greatness of Allah to the Thsamud. Unfortunately the Thsamud still deny the teachings of Nabi Saleh, instead they killed the camel. Finally the Thsamud rewarded with the doom The catastrophic that causes their bodies destroyed berkecai.

Thamud is the name of a tribe that included a portion of the Arabs by historians and others classify them into Jews. They reside in a plateau named "Alhijir" is located between Hijaz and Sham were formerly included colonized and controlled by Aad tribe who had perished tornado swept sent by God in retaliation for their defiance and denial against the preaching and message of Prophet Hud.

Wealth and luxury of life and natural resources that was previously owned and enjoyed by people of Aad had been inherited by Thamud. Fertile soils which yield an abundant, animals and fat cow breed, flower gardens yag beautiful, the building houses built on flat ground and carved out of a mountain. Everything that makes them live peaceful, prosperous, and happy, feel safe from any natural disturbances and claimed that they would be eternal elegance of life for them and their children.

Thamudic not know God. God they are idols that they worship and devotion, to him they sacrifice, where they asked for protection from all plagues and disasters and expect the goodness and happiness. They can not see or think further and what they can reach with the senses.

Nabi Saleh and Thamood

Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful would not allow his servants to be in perpetual darkness without messengers he sent his side to enlighten and lead them out of the wrong path to the right path. Similarly, Allah will not degrade the doom and seksaan to a people before they were warned and given petunjukkan by him with the mediation of a chosen to be a messenger and His apostles. Sunnatullah This applies also to Thamud, which they have been diutuskan Nabi Saleh a man who had been his from their own tribe, from a prominent family and respected by his people, well-known agile, clever, smart, humble and welcoming in the association ,

Introduced to them by the Prophet Saleh to God that rightly they worship, the Lord God Almighty, who has created them, created the world around them, creating a land-fertile soil that produces ingredients purpose of their lives, creating animals that benefit and useful to them and thus give them pleasure and luxuries of life and happiness and unseen. One God that they should worship and not the statues of their own chisel on stone mountain no power to give something to them or protect them from fear and danger.

Nabi Saleh warned them that he was a rather than those, established between themselves and their family ties and blood. They are his people and his relatives and she was collateral and tribesmen with them. He expects goodness and virtue for them, and occasionally will not plunge them into things that will bring harm, misery and destruction to them. He explained to them that he is the messenger and the messenger of God, and what is taught and preached God's message to them is that he has to say to them for their kindness during his lifetime and after their death in the hereafter. He hoped that his people consider and think seriously what he shouted and recommend that they immediately leave the worship of idols and believing believe in Allah Almighty as he repent and ask forgiveness to Him over sin and shirk that had been they did. God is close to them to hear their prayers and grant forgiveness to the guilty, if requested.

Terperanjatlah Saleh hear the appeal and that his message to them was a new thing that is not expected to come from siblings or children of their own. Then the simultaneous rejection of the invitation Nabi Saleh was saying to him, "O Salih! We know you intelligent, agile and intelligent, mind sharp and your opinions and all judgment is always right. In you we see the signs of the virtues and qualities are commendable . We expect from you in fact to lead us accomplish things complicated that we face, give instructions in matters dark for us and be followup and trust us when we are facing a crisis and distress. but any hope of it being missed and trust us to you slipping today with your behavior and acts horns that violates the customs and the way of life we ​​have. What do you call out to us? you want to have us leave our offerings and our ancestors, offerings and religion that has become flesh and blood we became sebahagian our lives since we were born and remains a grip forever. We occasionally will not leave because your claim and we will not follow that which is lost. We do not believe in conversation even wondering kenabianmu your wild. We will not disobey our ancestors to leave their offerings and follow your tracks. "

Nabi Saleh warned them not to oppose it and to follow his invitation faith in God who has mengurniai their vast fortune and a prosperous livelihood. Told them the story of clans who gets seksaan and Wrath of God as opposed to His apostles and belie his treatise. Something similar could happen on them if they do not want to accept his message and hear his advice, he gave voluntarily and honestly as a member of their extended family and were not expecting or demanding wages than their over his efforts. He just convey the message of God assigned to him and it is God who will give him the reward and the reward for his efforts and leadership to their demands.

A small group of Thamudic which are mostly made up of people who are domiciled socially weak accept propaganda Nabi Saleh and believe in him while sebahagian biggest particularly those belonging to the rich and domiciled remain obstinate and arrogant reject the invitation Nabi Saleh and deny the prophethood and said to him:

"O Salih! We think that you have been possessed by the devil and hit the magic. You have become crazy and dementia. Wits have changed and your mind is messed up so that you are not aware that you have issued words that do not make sense and you yourself do not understand it. you admitted that you have diutuskan by the Lord as prophets and apostles. are your strong than us all so you have to be an apostle, but there are those among us who is more worthy and more efficiently to be a prophet or apostle than thou . purpose to carry empty and your words are for pursuing the position and would like to be appointed head and leader for your people. If you feel that you are intelligent and energetic and confess that you do not have direction and purpose shrouded in dakwahmu it then cut it out yourselves broadcast religious Your new denouncing our worship and fathers themselves. We will follow your way and leave the path that has been taken by the people our parents first.

Nabi Saleh replied: "I have repeatedly told you that I was not expecting anything than you as a reward for my effort explaining to you. I did not expect a wage or crave rank and position for my efforts is that I did solely on the orders of God and than Him someday I expect a reply and a reward for it, and how I can follow you and to strand tasks and mandate of God to me, and I talah obtain evidence corroborative of the correctness dakwahku. Do not occasionally you expect that I would be disobeying my Lord and dereliction of duty Him merely to continue the worship of our ancestors were ignorant of it. who will protect me from the wrath and punishment of God if I do so? Indeed, you will only hurt and destroy me with your claim. "

After a failed and successful efforts to stop the preaching of Prophet Saleh and saw he was even more active attract people follow him and favors him, the leaders and the leaders of Thamood tried going to stem the flow of preaching, more and more attention, especially from the middle subordinate in society. They oppose Nabi Saleh and to prove the truth of his prophethood with a proof of miracles in the form of extraordinary objects or events that are beyond human power.

God gave miracles to Nabi Saleh

Nabi Saleh aware that the opposition of his people are demanding proof thereof in the form of a miracle it is aiming want to eliminate completely eroded its influence and authority in the eyes of his people, especially followers if he fails to meet the opposition and their demands. Nabi Saleh avenge their opposition by demanding an appointment with them when he managed to bring the miracle that they asked that they will abandon their religion and worship and will follow the Prophet Saleh and believe in him.

In accordance with the requests and instructions princes Nabi Saleh Thamudic pray to ask God to give him a miracle to prove the truth of his message and simultaneously crushed the resistance and opposition of his people who are still stubborn it. He begged of God with His power creates a female camel stomach issuance of a large rock on the side of a hill that they appoint.

Then a moment later with the permission of Allah Almighty, the Most Creator split the designated rock and out of his stomach a female camel.

By pointing to the new animal out of the belly of a large stone was said to Prophet Saleh told them: "This is the camel of Allah, do not bother and let him look for their own food on earth God, he has a turn to drinking water and you have a turn to get a drink for you and for ternakanmu well and know that Allah will lower his doom when you interfere with these animals. " Then berkeliaranlah camel in the fields graze at will without interference and when their turn arrived drinking camel went into a cistern named cistern camel and drink his heart's content. And the days turn camel Nabi Saleh came to drink, nothing like another beast dared to him, for which cause annoyance to the owners of animals that are increasingly feeling that their camel Nabi Saleh in the midst of them was a nuisance like thorns across the kerongkong.

With the success of Nabi Saleh bring forth miracles they demanded gagallah Thamudic leaders in his efforts to bring down the honor and eliminate the influence of Nabi Saleh on the contrary has added thick followers trust and dispel many doubts from his people. So dihasutlah by their owners ternakan who feel annoyed and not happy with their camels were bermaharajalela Nabi Saleh in the fields and orchards them and feared by pet animals.

Nabi Saleh camel Killed

Conspiracy organized by people of Thamud to govern the design of the murder of a camel of Prophet Salih and while people are still overshadowed by the fear of punishment threatened by Nabi Saleh when camel bothered beside the encouragement of a strong desire to eliminate the beast of the earth they are, came suddenly a wealthy dowager who would surrender himself to anyone who can kill the camel Saleh. In addition to his widow there is another woman who has several daughters were fair offer will award one of his daughters to the man who had killed the camel.

Two kinds of tempting prize of two women beside sedition leaders Thamud invited the two men named Mushadda 'bin Muharrij and Gudar bin Salif pack will commit murder for the prize that was promised in addition to flattery and praise to be received from the infidels Thamud tribes when the camel of Nabi Saleh have been killed.

With the help of seven men hid set it in a place where usually passed by a camel on his way to the cistern where he drank and so the camels were innocent then quickly arrows calves by Musadda 'followed by Gudar to thrust his sword in his belly.

With a magnificent feeling and pride go camel's killers to deliver the news capital of the demise of the camel of Nabi Saleh who received cheers and shouts of joy from the idolaters as if they were returning from the battle with victory triumph. They said to the Prophet Saleh: "O Salih! Camels have been killed, try to bring about what you say before going to his threat if the camel was bullied, if you are truly among those who are truly in his words."

Nabi Saleh replied: "I have warned you, that God will bring down His Wrath on you if you interfere with the camel. So with the killing of camels then wait you will be the arrival of the punishment God has promised and I have to tell you. You have oppose Allah and accept the future as a result of tentanganmu to Him. the promise of God is not to be missed. You may rejoice and have fun during these three days later accept ganjaranmu deserving on the fourth day. Such is the will of God and his destiny that can not be postponed or prevented. "

There is a possibility according to commentators that God through His messengers, the Prophet Saleh gave three days was to allow, in case they are aware of their sin and repent ask for forgiveness and believe in Prophet Saleh to his message.

However, in reality the entire period of three days was even ridiculed the Prophet Saleh is opposed to speed up the coming doom it and not be suspended for three days.

The fall in the punishment of Allah promised

Nabi Saleh told his people that the punishment of God will befall on them will be preceded by signs, on the first day when they wake up, their faces turn yellow and will turn red on the second day and black on the third day and on the day the fourth fell a painful punishment of Allah.

Hearing the threat of punishment notified by the Prophet Saleh told the group of nine people is a group of killers camel designing commit murder upon Nabi Saleh precede the arrival of the doom that threatened it. They held a secret meeting and vowed joint will carry out the design of the murder in the night, when people are still sleeping soundly to avoid prosecution countered by the blood of Nabi Saleh family, if their identities are known as the killer. Their design is kept secret so it is unknown and to be heard by anyone except the ninth person himself.

When they came to the place of Prophet Saleh to carry out his evil design on a dark night-gelita and silent stillness fell over their heads large rocks that came from the sky and immediately threw them on the ground in a state of lifeless. Thus God has protected His apostles from evil deeds of His servants who disbelieve.

One day prior to the fall of the punishment that has been determined that, with God's permission went Nabi Saleh along with the Faithful followers towards Ramlah, a place in Palestine, leaving Hijir and its inhabitants, Thamud perished, struck lightning mighty hand in hand with a terrible earthquake.

Teaching of the story of Prophet Saleh

Teaching that stand to be learned from this story is that the Nabi Saleh sin and unjust act committed by a small group of citizens who are negative can destroy the whole society.

Look how Thamud is destroyed, destroyed, wiped out even on the earth because of sin and a violation of God's command that carried out by some killer camel of Prophet Saleh as Herein lies the wisdom of God's command that we do enjoining, nahi unjust. This is because by doing tasks enjoining good and forbidding wrong that becomes fard kifayah it, at least if it does not succeed forbidding that occur in society and our protection, we have freed ourselves from sin approve or condone the unjust act.

Being indifferent to vice and kemungkaran prevailing in front of the eyes can diertikan as approval and associating against the unjust actions
