Timeline Of Hazrat Hud And Hazrat Saleh
Although Quran needs not to tell the chronology of the events, yet we find clear indications to reach the conclusion that the people of Saleh and Hud came before Abraham. Sura Hud states the events of the prophets in chronological order, starting with Noah, then ‘Ad the people of Hud, then Thamud, the poople of Saleh, then comes Abraham and Lot and them the people of Shaoib. this order is confirmed the statement of Shoaib. He mentions the nations in chronological order, the same adopted by the Surah. وَيَا قَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِي أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثْلُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَالِحٍ ۚ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍ And O my people, let not [your] dissension from me cause you to be struck by that similar to what struck the people of Noah or the people of Hud or the people of Salih. And the people of Lot are not from you far away. (11:89)
