And We sent to Thamud their brother Saaleh.
He said, “Listen my people! Worship Allah.
No god to worship is for you other than Him.
You have a clear guidance come from your God.
Here in the form of a camel is a sign of Allah for you.
So leave it that it eats from the land of Allah
And do not touch her with anything bad
For then a painful punishment will catch you.”
