Saleh

An Arabian prophet mentioned in the Quran, sent to the people of Thamud in northwest Arabia. God gave him a miraculous she-camel as a sign. When the people hamstrung and killed the camel despite warnings, they were destroyed by a terrible earthquake or blast. His story exemplifies the consequences of rejecting prophetic guidance and harming divine signs.
