Madaen Saleh : The designed coloney of Somud's tribes in the mountains. Allah Almighty sent Prophet Saleh (A.S) as a messenger to them. The people of Samud worshiped idols. Prophet Saleh (A.S) taught them the message of Allah Almighty and advised them to leave the worship of idols but they refused to accept the message of Allah Almighty. They mocked at the message of Allah and continued worshiping idols. Allah Almighty destroyed them by His horrible and frightful fury (because when the creation doesn’t fulfill the purpose of its creation then it would better off being destroyed). Their strong homes in mountains could not save them from the fury of Allah and death.
Qasr-e-Fareed : A famous building in “Madaen Saleh”. The disobeying people of Prophet Saleh (A.S), used to construct buildings as a hobby. There are many strange buildings and samples of sculptured stones in that stony city. Even the graveyards were sculptured out of mountains. Despite possessing such a fine skills of art they didn’t have any faith in their hearts therefore they were destroyed.
