MCQ Detailed View

In Islamic tradition, the people of Samood (Thamud) are believed to be the descendants of Aad, making Samood the grandson of Aad. Both tribes—Aad and Samood—are referenced in the Qur’an as ancient nations that were destroyed by Allah (SWT) due to their persistent disobedience and rejection of Prophets.

The Aad people were known for their strength and large structures, and they lived in the region of Al-Ahqaf. After their destruction, the Samood tribe rose and lived in Al-Hijr (present-day Saudi Arabia). They were known for carving homes in mountains and showed great architectural advancement. Allah sent Prophet Saleh (A.S) to guide them. However, like their forefathers (Aad), they rejected the message and committed injustice. As a result, they too faced divine punishment.

The lineage from Aad to Samood is significant because it highlights a generational pattern of arrogance and rejection of divine truth. This serves as an important lesson in Islamic teachings about following the path of guidance and avoiding the mistakes of past nations.
