Salih inviting his people to see the She-Camel Illuminated collection of Stories of the Prophets
The She-Camel of God (Template:Lang-ar ) in Islam was a miraculous female camel sent by God to the people of Thamud in Al-Hijr ,[ 1] [ 2] after they demanded a miracle from the prophet Saleh . The narrative and story of the she-camel is recorded in the Quran .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
Quranic mention
Amongst the many narrations in the Quran, one historical story deals with the people of Thamud, who lived after the people of ʿĀd in pre-Islamic Arabia . As the people of the community were heavily indulgent in idolatry , besides other issues, God sent the prophet and oracle Saleh to warn them of the impending doom that they would face if they did not mend their fraudulent ways[ 10] [ 11] [ 12] [ 13] [ 14] [ 15]
