RELIGION ARTIKEL 32

THE NATION THAT cursed

After worship Hajj or Umrah, if you still have a chance and more money-you should stop in Jordan, a country north of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There was an area called the Valley of the Rum or Petra valley that holds nan fascinating archaeological heritage.

In the valley you can find beautiful buildings and big as the Roman imperial court. The beauty and solidity of the building can indeed make you chuckle in admiration. But more impressive and will make you shake my head, it turns out that the building was made by carving rock hills. Modern man now even this may not necessarily make buildings like they have created. Who are they who make buildings that amazing?


Thamood

The manufacturer is Thamood, ummah of the Prophet Salih, as recounted in the Qur'an: And unto Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said, 'My nation, worship Allah, there is no Ilah for you besides Him ... You set up the palaces on its lands are flat and you're carving the mountains to be home, then remember the favors of God and you do not rampant in the earth to make mischief. "(Surah Al-A'raaf verses 73-74) .

In other verses they called Ashabul-Hijri (inhabitants of the city of Al-Hijr): And lo population (city of) Al-Hijr denied the Messengers, and We have brought to them (the signs) of power We are, but they turn away from him. And they carve the houses of stone mountain (which are inhabited) in safety. (Surah Al-Hijr verse 80-82).

Thamood are a people who deny the teachings of the Prophet Salih, they even slaughtered a female camel that is the miracle of the Prophet Salih, then challenged them adzab arrival.

God answered the challenge with the earthquake disaster inflicted upon them. "Since the earthquake seized them, then they become corpses lying in their homes." (Surah Al-A'raaf paragraph 78).

In another verse says, God also sends a powerful lightning disaster: And as for Thamood they have guided us, but they preferred blindness (error) of the instructions, then they are struck by lightning adzab of humiliation because of what they have done. (Letter Fushilat paragraph 17)

So that God inflicted terrible disasters so that no one is left Thamood. They became extinct: And Thamood, then no one is left behind him (alive). (Surat An-Najm verse 51). Thus, the word of God in the Quran, as if there never Thamood on this earth: As if they had never lived in that place. Lo Thamood deny their Lord. Remember, kebinasaanlah for Thamood. (Letter Huud paragraph 68)

Amazingly, despite the lightning that God sent that destroy entire buildings Thamood but their work still left intact by him. That is nothing more to become evident for us, a people who lived later, about the existence of a nation builder who has God destroyed because of their disbelief. "And (also) the 'AAD and Thamud, and indeed have been obvious to you (their destruction) of (the debris) where they live ..." (Surat Al-Ankabut paragraph 38)

If we examine the contents of the Qur'an was not only Thamood extinct from this earth. There are a number of other people who also have destroyed God, as He explained in Surat At-Taubah verse 70: "Belumkah come to their important news about people who were before them, (is) the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, the descendants of Abraham, inhabitants of Midian, and the (population) countries that have been destroyed? Came to them apostles with clear signs, then God is not at all-time persecuting them, but they wronged themselves. "

Even besides that there are many more people or a nation that God has destroyed, although not mentioned by name in eskplisit in the Qur'an. "And (We destroyed) 'Ad and Thamud and residents Rass and many (more) generations of people-people are." (
