That way sees' only weak,
Of material strength,
While strength of the heart holds all the keys',
Those who do not believe in anyone thing,
Shiver in fear,
As bold as lions',
Shudders' the places' of ruin,
Weakness shaking to the very core.
When five ways' raining day,
As fast as wasps' swirling,
Weakness prevails' through,
The hearts' of those not true.

Abraham and Linage : Part 1
The people of the book,
Lay claim to Abraham's,
Linage-line,
As so to define,
His forefathers' line.
Tarikh; who was seventy-five-years old,
He had that of three healthy-sons'.
Abraham, Nohour and Haran,
Haran, on becoming a man,
Produced a son named that of Lot, (or,lut).
The people of the book,
Made the claim,
Abraham was that of the middle child,
And his brother Lot, died at a young age,
In the time of his father's days'.
In the land of Babylonia,
Idol-worship, was very well-understood.
Of stone carvings' and that of wood.
Other people of the town,
Worshiped the planetary-systems',
Of the stars',
And others' would lay God-Given-Claims',
To their rulers'-wordily-games'.
Abraham came from birth,
Into the Earth,
Born into this land,
Of idolatry-stand,
His father and fathers'-line,
Was not simple in their worship-shrines',
They rejected all of Allah's -written -lines',
And his father was a man,
Who used to erect for the people of his time,
That of worshipping-idolatry-shrines'.
There are a few,
Mis-printed facts',
About that of who raised Abraham in his growing-up, tracks',
Others' of that day,
Recorded that Azer was his uncle,
Who adopted him at birth,
Because his father had died before the day,
The mother of Abraham,
Gave-way, to a prophetic -birth,
Upon the Earth,
Abraham.
Into the line of those who worshiped-idolatry-shrines',
Abraham was born,
A written-godly-code,
To stand-up against the very system,
Of his communities'-beliefs',
And in his struggle,
He did of his day,
Stand-up to all kinds' of polytheistic-ways'.
He was unusual from amongst the people of those days',
He understood spiritual-ways',
From a very early day,
Allah enlightened his heart and mind,
And gave him wisdom,
From early-years' and days',
And Allah, Al-mighty, stated,
"And verily, we did bestow on Abraham,
Before, back in time,
His portion of guidance, he understood,
And We were well-acquainted with him,
As to his belief in the oneness of God,
Allah-Almighty. "

Salih : Part 4
And there was in the city,
Nine men,
From the sons' of the chiefs',
Who created torment and strife,
In the land,
And even though Salih came,
With the warning of Allah's, merciful stand,
They would not reform,
Or offer any hand.
They swore, One to the other,
A secret attack,
In the darkness of night,
When his household was sleeping tight,
" And when we complete our set task,
We will say to his relatives'-near,
We our not the witnessess,
Of the destruction that betook,
Salih and his sent Book,
And verily, we are of truthful-folk ".
So they plotted and planned,
While they percieved not,
While We' did also plot,
Then their plight ended,
In the destruction of their nation-still,
All of the town and state,
Did go,
And their houses' layed in utter ruin,
For wrongness they partook of delight,
And verily of the people who did right,
We saved them from the destruction of the ruins' of the wrongness-plight.
So they plotted and planned,
To kill Salih in the night,
While we too, plotted and planned,
While they percieved not,
From the distance afar.
Three days' after their wicked unfearing,
Salih's warning came about,
To strike the wrong people out,
Thunderbolts', filled the air,
Followed by Earthquakes'; that did shake,
The entire land.
The land shock with fear,
Under God's Holy Might,
And Allah did destroy all with in it,
Apart from Salih and his following-folk,
For they were truly God-Fearing-Folk.
And with one Holy-Strike,
The people' were struck with God's -Holy-Might.
And their buildings' did crumble,
And the wrong people were cleaned,
Before God, and his all seeing screen.
And the good people from Salih's-folk,
Did remain in the land,
Until the descent of Allah's last messenger sent,
And Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) past by their houses',
On his way through the land,
And stopped to drink from the very spot,
Where the prophet Salih's-folk, did flock.
And through his stay,
They took him to the place where the bad people did drink,
And gather,
And he did say,
Do not enter upon where the bad people did stay,
For Allah, might inflict you with sickness of their day.

Salih : Part 3
A few in number,
Followed his sent message given,
Yet, stubbornness and the going- astray,
Continued with those who followed their forefathers' ways'.
And Allah-Almighty, did say,
" And we sent unto thee,
A she camel, among the Thamud people,
As a clear sign given. "
But they planned to betray that of,
Allah's gift,
To slaughter her,
When Salih took to his prayers',
To prove to themselves',
That of their wordily -shares'.
And the she camel,
Was a blessed gift,
Unto that of milk, it did give.
Ten -fold, of a normal production,
So they plotted against its' destruction.
The Camel slept away from the flocks',
A sure sign that she was a miracle given,
For no -other animal did sleep away from their herds',
So they declared to slaughter her.
When Salih did turn away,
For a few moments' given.
Their hatred of Salih,
Turned towards' the Camel given,
And they centered upon it,
As a conspiracy, they started to conspire,
As they Secretly plotted,
To kill, what they had been given.
Salih being that from prophetic lines',
Saw the sure signs',
From slight indications' given,
That his people,
Out of jealousy given,
Might kill that of God's Camel given.
" O, My people ",
He did say,
"This she-camel sent,
Is a miracle given,
A sure sign,
Sent unto you,
From the huge rock,
That set it's self asunder,
So leave it to feed on the grass,
Of Allah's Earth,
And do not partake in evil,
Towards' her in anyway,
Least Allah strike you down , today ".
For a while,
They heeded to Salih's advice,
They let her graze upon the maze,
And drink freely from the Earthly springs',
But in their hearts',
Their hatred did increase,
Towards' this miracle given,
The disbelievers',
Began complaining,
They started a plight of ridicule,
Claiming that she did drink,
Most of their waters' given,
And she frightened their flocks from their grazing pastures',
So they began to conspire.
They sought help from their women folk,
To tempt some, from among their men,
To help carry out the slaughter plot,
A woman named Saduq,
A girl-child( female-offspring; ), RAISED, from the family of,
Mahya,
Whose descent was from that of a rich family given,
Nobility was their title given,
Took her adornments' and filtered them through,
Persuasion betook that of Masra'i,
A son of Mahraj.
The woman betook of her beauty,
To that of Masra'i,
On the promise that,
He would ham-string the she Camel given.
Aniza, an old woman,
Offered one of her beautiful daughters',
As a prize to a young man from among the tribe,
Qudar, the son of, Saluf,
In the return, that he would slaughter, the She Camel sent,
So we can see,
Their hatred and spite,
Had increased towards' Allah's signs', given,
And the people conspired,
To rid the tribe,
To continue with that of their forefathers' pride.
So these young men,
Who had been subtly- bribed,
Went out to find others',
To partake,
In their crime,
Seven other men,
Did they sought to assit,
With the ham-stringing of the Camel's dish.
They gathered together,
As they sat back,
To watch closely the Camel,
Observing her,
From morning towards' the night,
Masra'i, took his arrow,
Bending his bow,
He struck her in her leg,
As she tried her best,
To scamper away,
But the arrow did hamper and she was delayed.
Qudar, followed the Camel,
And struck her with his sword,
In the other leg,
And as she fell towards' her death,
Qudar, took his sword and struck her with one more fatal blow,
And death from her wounds'
Did soon follow.
When their deed was done,
A hero's welcome,
Did follow,
With that of cheers' and songs',
And poetry composed,
In their praise,
Of the slaughter,
And the end of the She-Camel days',
In their arrogance,
They started to mock that of Salih's ways',
So he ordained for them to continue for a few more days',
Three more days', before a punishment will desend,
Upon them,
Hoping that in those three days',
Some from among them,
Would return towards' that of Allah's ways'.
" Why three days' ",
They did reply,
" Let God's punishment descend upon us,
As quickly as possible. "
As laughter betook,
He did say,
" Why my people,
Do you ask,
For the evil torment to descend,
Before you partake,
In God given ways'.
Ask for your pardon,
So that God will condone his mercy upon you ? ".
And they replied,
" Your presents' here,
And that of your followers',
Is of an evil dentity,
Bringing that of evil upon us,
We do not wish to listen to your ridiculous-disgust.
So they continued with their laughter,
Without hush.
To be continued.
Followed his sent message given,
Yet, stubbornness and the going- astray,
Continued with those who followed their forefathers' ways'.
And Allah-Almighty, did say,
" And we sent unto thee,
A she camel, among the Thamud people,
As a clear sign given. "

Salih : Part 2
They wished to remain on the path of their fathers',
Without that of reason,
Without that of proof,
Without that of thought,
They just followed the ways',
Of their forefathers' day.
The proof of Salih's message,
Was evident,
But despite his true call,
Most people refuted him,
Because they thought,
He was charmed.
(And the Islam of today,
We would say,
' they thought he had a Jinn,
Or, evil- magic, resided in him. )
And after time,
They saw,
He would not leave that of God's door, ( metaphorically )
He would not stop,
His holy preaching.
Fearing that his followers' would increase,
They tried to put him off,
By assigning him,
To that of an important task,
To prove that he was a,
Holy messenger,
Sent as a decree,
From Allah,
By performing a miracle.
They ordered that,
If he be true,
A unique,
She camel,
Would issue from the mountains'.
After the torment,
Of salih,
Allah, issued forth,
The she camel,
At their bequest.
The people came out,
And gathered-together,
At their meeting place,
Where the prophet Salih,
Came to address them.
He called unto them,
To believe,
In his call,
And reminded,
Them of the blessings' that did descend.
Then pointing towards',
A rock,
They demanded,
" Ask thy Lord,
'Salih, to make a she camel,
Which must be that,
Of ten months',
Pregnant,
Tall and attractive to the eyes',
Issue it, from the rocks',
For us ".
Salih replied,
" Look now " ,
He did say,
" If Allah brings' for you,
That of what you bequest,
Just as you have describe,
Will you then reside,
In what I call you to,
To worship,
And have faith in the message sent ".
They replied,
" Yes".
So being from a good brother's line,
Salih, betook their oath,
Then prayed to Allah,
To bring forth their request,
So to save them from,
The torment of a painful death.
So Allah,
Who does love his messengers' sent,
Set assunder,
A rock to split,
Bringing forth before their very eyes',
What they desired,
To bring them to Salih's call.
A she camel, ten month's pregnant,
And huge in size,
Attractive to their eyes'.
And even though God did send,
This miracle given,
A wonderful sight,
Dazzling and powerful,
From Allh's holy might.
It was a sure, clear evidence.
A number of Salih's people did believe,
Yet most of them,
Though they witnessed a sure miracle given,
Rejected it,
And continued in their absent ways',
To worship their Gods',
From their forefathers' days'.
Without that of reason,
Without that of proof,
Without that of thought,
They just followed the ways',
Of their forefathers' day.

Salih : Part 1
After the destruction of the Ad', tribe,
When the prophetic ways' did subside,
From among them,
The Thamud people,
Did up-rise
In power and might.
They fell into idolatry,
As their wealth increased,
So did their evil ways',
The corruption of their wordily treasure,
Took most of their days'.
Their virtue of righteousness,
Did decrease,
As they forgot their prophetic-lines',
Again; as before, at the time of Ad',
They started to build up shrines',
Of huge buildings',
Of what became their crime.
(They stood over the hills',
Towering above the landscape,
Giants' in size,
They carved their homes' from the mountain-sides',
Of what their homes' still reside ).
Tyranny and oppression,
Did run their land,
As unholy men,
Took over God's stand.
So Allah sent unto them,
Another; righteous men,
A holy prophet,
To take a stand.
The prophet Salih,
Did arise,
From among them,
And their unholy shrines',
He was from that of Noah's line.
He began his call,
Unto the unholy people,
Of the land,
To take up,
The worship of One God for All.
While some of the people believed him,
The majority,
Became deaf stricken,
Resistance, because they wished,
To be of the wordily shrines',
Treasure was their way,
So they became absentees',
Of that day,
Of worshipers' of God's Holy path,
They restrained,
From Salih's call,
To worship One God, for All.
And because of the Arrogance stand,
Most of them,
Started a harmful,
Proceedings',
In both their word's,
And evil deeds',
They took up a strike,
To fight against him.
" O' my people ",
He did say,
" Worship Allah,
You have no other God but him ".
Salih, being sound of mind,
Was well known for his wisdom,
Purity and goodness,
And before the,
Holy Revelation came unto him,
The people,
Knew him to be,
Of good capacity.
The people came unto him,
Proclaiming their findings',
" O Salih' ",
They did say,
You have been among us,
As a figure of Good-hope,
( And we wished for you to be our chief,
In matters' of our wordily deeds').
Until, this new thing that you have brought,
That we leave our ways',
Of many Gods',
And to worship your God,
Allah alone.
Do you ( Salih ),
Wish for us to leave,
What our forefathers',
Betook ?,
We are in doubt of what you bring,
( Monotheism, was ' Salih's call ).
Away from the shrines'
Of their forefathers' crimes'.
To be continued.
When the prophetic ways' did subside,
From among them,
The Thamud people,
Did up-rise
In power and might.
They fell into idolatry,

And because of the Arrogance stand,
Most of them,
Started a harmful,
Proceedings',
In both their word's,
And evil deeds',
They took up a strike,
To fight against him.
" O' my people ",
He did say,
" Worship Allah,
You have no other God but him ".
Salih, being sound of mind,
Was well known for his wisdom,
Purity and goodness,
And before the,
Holy Revelation came unto him,
The people,
Knew him to be,
Of good capacity.
The people came unto him,
Proclaiming their findings',
" O Salih' ",
They did say,
You have been among us,
As a figure of Good-hope,
( And we wished for you to be our chief,
In matters' of our wordily deeds').
Until, this new thing that you have brought,
That we leave our ways',
Of many Gods',
And to worship your God,
Allah alone.
Do you ( Salih ),
Wish for us to leave,
What our forefathers',
Betook ?,
We are in doubt of what you bring,
( Monotheism, was ' Salih's call ).
Away from the shrines'
Of their forefathers' crimes'.
To be continued.
